Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vans SK8-HI trainers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Since these are made of leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and structural integrity. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust and a dedicated leather cleaner or a damp cloth for deeper spots. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. Pair these trainers with mid-length socks to protect your ankles from rubbing while the material breaks in.
