FAQs
What makes the Vibram outsole different?
The Vibram outsole is a high-performance rubber compound known for its exceptional durability and superior grip compared to standard outsoles, providing enhanced stability.
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
While built with durable materials and a grippy sole, these shoes are primarily designed for lifestyle wear with skate-inspired aesthetics. For intensive skateboarding, consider shoes specifically engineered for that purpose.
How do I clean the leather cord knots?
The leather cord knots can be gently wiped with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking them or using abrasive cleaners.
What is the benefit of the Ortholite® Insole?
The Ortholite® insole offers enhanced cushioning for comfort, breathability to manage moisture, and long-term resilience.
Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?
The Vibram outsole provides good grip, but the suede and canvas uppers are not waterproof. They can handle light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended and may require specific waterproofing treatments.
What does 'OTW' stand for?
OTW typically stands for 'Off The Wall,' a long-standing Vans slogan representing the brand's heritage and connection to skate culture.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Lace adjustment can significantly alter fit. If still uncomfortable, consider the exchange policy for a different size, as fit can vary between individuals.
Traction feels reduced.
Ensure the Vibram outsole is clean. Remove any debris or mud with a brush and water. Dirt buildup can impede grip.
Suede material looks dull or dirty.
Use a dry suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaning product following its instructions.
