FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

Yes, the Skate series is designed with reinforced materials and high-traction outsoles specifically to handle the demands of skateboarding.

How do I determine my size?

These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual trainer size, keeping in mind they will relax slightly over time.

Can I machine wash my Vans?

Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the shoe; manual cleaning with a cloth is preferred.

Does the checkerboard pattern fade over time?

Like any printed textile, exposure to extreme sunlight and frequent washing may lead to gradual fading over several years of heavy use.

Are these suitable for wider feet?

The slip-on design is relatively accommodating, but those with very wide feet may find the initial fit snug until the material stretches.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

The canvas and materials will naturally stretch and mold to your foot shape after several wears; try wearing them for short periods initially.

Heel slipping while walking

Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size and try wearing slightly thicker socks to fill the volume until the shoe is fully broken in.

Outsole losing grip

Clean the bottom of the soles with a stiff brush to remove dust and debris buildup that can cause slickness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless and versatile aesthetic
  • Easy slip-on convenience
  • Highly durable for daily wear
  • Excellent grip for skateboarding

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period
  • Minimal arch support
  • Limited adjustability compared to laced shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are slip-on trainers, no complex setup is required. To ensure a long lifespan, it is recommended to keep the shoes clean by wiping them with a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents, which can compromise the glue bonding the sole. If they become wet, allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators. For optimal sizing, consider that these shoes are designed to fit snugly to prevent slippage during movement.
