FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is generally recommended to hand wash your Vans to preserve the integrity of the glue and the shape of the canvas.

Do these come with arch support?

The Classic Slip-On features a flat footbed; if your child requires specific arch support, you may consider adding a thin orthotic insole.

What does the UK 2.5 size mean?

This refers to the standard UK children's sizing system, designed to fit a foot length corresponding to a 2.5 UK size.

Are these suitable for sports?

While durable for casual play and walking, they are not designed as specialized athletic shoes for high-impact sports.

Can the canvas be waterproofed?

You can apply a commercial water-repellent spray designed for fabric or canvas to provide an extra layer of protection against light moisture.

Troubleshooting

Elastic inserts feel too tight

The elastic will naturally loosen slightly after a few wears; encourage the child to wear them for short periods to break them in.

White parts of the checkerboard look dirty

Use a magic eraser or a mixture of baking soda and water applied with a toothbrush to gently scrub the canvas surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These shoes are designed for an immediate, true-to-size fit. To maintain the condition of your Vans:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild detergent to spot-clean the canvas. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Drying: Air dry only; do not place in a machine dryer as this can damage the rubber and shape.
  3. Protection: Consider using a canvas-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to maintain the checkerboard pattern's brightness.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent canvas fading.
