FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?

How should I clean the black fabric upper?

Yes, the Brooklyn LS generally fits true to size, similar to other standard Vans trainers.
What surfaces are the waffle outsoles best for?
The original waffle outsole is designed for excellent grip on flat, hard surfaces like pavement, tile, and wood floors.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
They feature a standard flat footbed typical of classic skate-style sneakers, providing basic support for everyday activity.
Troubleshooting

Use a double-knot technique or replace with high-friction cotton laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vans Brooklyn LS trainers, it is important to lace them properly to secure the heel. For the best fit, adjust the laces starting from the toe up to the ankle to ensure the foot does not slide. Regarding care, these shoes should be hand-cleaned. Use a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water to gently scrub away surface stains. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as high heat can weaken the vulcanized bond and cause the rubber components to warp or yellow.
