FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these shoes are not waterproof. They are made from materials that can be damaged by excessive water and are best kept dry.

What is the main benefit of the lightweight construction?

The lightweight construction enhances comfort for extended wear during casual activities, reducing fatigue.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

It is not recommended to machine wash Vans shoes, as this can damage the materials and construction. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.

How do I know if this is the right size for me?

This guide specifies UK size 5.5. It is advisable to check Vans' official sizing chart for accurate conversions if you are unsure of your UK size.

What does 'Style 38' refer to?

Style 38 is a specific model designation within the Vans line, often associated with their classic high-top designs, though this version is a low shoe.

Is the checkerboard pattern painted on or part of the material?

The checkerboard pattern is typically woven into or printed onto the canvas material of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel slightly tight

Wear the shoes with thick socks for a short period to gently stretch them. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture to prevent damage.

Color transfer on socks

This can occasionally happen with new, darker colored shoes. Washing the inside of the shoes with a damp cloth and allowing them to air dry completely may help reduce color transfer.

Sole becoming detached

For minor sole separation, a strong adhesive designed for footwear can be used. For significant detachment, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: The unisex design makes them compatible with a wide range of casual outfits for both men and women. They pair well with jeans, shorts, skirts, and casual dresses.

Care: To maintain the appearance of your Vans Style 38 Checkerboard shoes:

  1. Cleaning the Uppers: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and debris. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a specialized shoe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help them retain their shape and absorb moisture.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and potential damage.
