FAQs
Are these shoes good for skateboarding?
The signature waffle sole provides good grip for casual skateboarding. However, for serious or frequent skateboarding, shoes specifically designed for the sport with enhanced durability and padding might be more suitable.
How do I clean the white and cream checkerboard pattern?
Use a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the stained areas. For tougher stains, a specialized canvas shoe cleaner can be used. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is primarily made of canvas, featuring the iconic checkerboard print.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
Vans offers the Slip-On model in a wide variety of colors and patterns. This specific Reissue 98 model has variants in other colors, such as black.
What is the 'Reissue 98' designation?
The 'Reissue 98' refers to a model that is a reproduction or homage to a classic Vans design from 1998, often featuring specific details or materials reminiscent of that era.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash Vans canvas shoes, as it can damage the adhesives, materials, and shape of the shoe. Hand washing is the preferred method.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them around the house with thicker socks for a few hours to allow the materials to stretch slightly. You can also try a shoe stretcher if the tightness is significant.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the waffle sole is clean. For persistently slippery conditions, consider using a rubber sole spray or consulting a cobbler for grip enhancement.
Canvas material has stains
Use a specialized canvas shoe cleaner or a mixture of mild detergent and water. Gently scrub with a soft brush and rinse with a damp cloth. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Elastic side panels feel loose
Over time, the elastic may lose some elasticity. Minor looseness can sometimes be mitigated by ensuring the shoes are the correct size. Significant stretching may require professional repair.
