FAQs
Are these suitable for swimming or water sports?
These sandals are water-friendly and can get wet, but they are not specifically designed for rigorous water sports. They are best for casual wear around water areas and should be allowed to air dry afterward.
What is the ULTRACUSH™ Lite outsole made of?
The ULTRACUSH™ Lite outsole is an injected, lightweight, flexible, and durable waffle compound that provides excellent cushioning.
How do I find the correct UK size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Vans or the retailer. This guide lists the specific UK size available (UK 12 in this instance), but other sizes may be available across different product listings.
Can the insoles be removed?
The contoured rubber insole is integrated into the sandal and is not designed to be removed.
What is the main difference between La Costa and other Vans sandals?
The La Costa series specifically features the ULTRACUSH™ Lite outsole for enhanced comfort and durability, along with a design inspired by Vans' vulcanized roots, often incorporating iconic patterns like the checkerboard.
Are these unisex?
While this specific listing is for men's sizing (UK 12), the La Costa Slide-On design is often available in unisex options or a range of men's and women's sizes.
Troubleshooting
Strap feels stiff or uncomfortable
Break them in with short periods of wear. The lining is designed to soften with use.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
While the waffle outsole offers good traction, extremely wet surfaces can reduce grip. Exercise caution and ensure the soles are free of debris.
Visible dirt on the checkerboard strap
Gently clean with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For stubborn marks, use a small amount of mild soap and water, then wipe clean.
