FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash Vans. Hand cleaning with mild soap and water is the best way to maintain the structural integrity of the canvas and rubber.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The Classic Slip-on has a relatively flat footbed. If you require significant arch support, you may consider adding an aftermarket insole.
Are the sizes true to fit?
Yes, these trainers generally follow standard adult UK sizing, though the canvas material may feel snug initially.
Can I wear these for skateboarding?
While these are rooted in skate history, they are primarily casual fashion shoes. For professional or high-impact skateboarding, consider the Vans Pro line which offers increased cushioning.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper portion of the shoe is made from durable cotton canvas.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels slightly tight at first.
Canvas material naturally relaxes and molds to your foot shape after a few hours of wear.
Accumulation of dirt in the waffle sole tread.
Use a toothpick or a firm brush to gently dislodge pebbles or mud from the grooves of the rubber outsole.
Elastic side inserts losing tension.
Avoid over-stretching the side panels when putting the shoe on; use a shoehorn if you find yourself pulling the fabric excessively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers arrive ready to wear straight out of the box with no break-in period required for most users. Because they are constructed from cotton canvas, it is recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray before the first use to protect the red and white checkered pattern. To keep them clean, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. Air dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent the rubber soles from warping or the canvas from shrinking.
