Vans Old Skool V Gum Check Trainers - Blue - Checkered - Toddler

These trainers are designed for toddlers, with available sizes ranging from 3.5 toddler up to 9.5 toddler UK sizing.

For general cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth on the entire shoe. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing the pattern vigorously, which could cause it to fade or peel.

These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. While the leather offers some resistance to light moisture, they are not suitable for wet conditions or heavy rain.

The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and fabric materials.

The 'V' signifies the hook-and-loop closure system, which replaces traditional laces, making them easier for toddlers to manage and for parents to adjust.

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, construction, and adhesive, leading to reduced lifespan and potential damage.

The gum sole typically offers good grip and durability, providing reliable traction for active toddlers on various surfaces.

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Toddler feet grow quickly, and a snug but not tight fit is crucial. Check that the hook-and-loop straps are adjusted properly, not too tight or too loose.

Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks on leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner or conditioner as per product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Ensure the straps are clean and free of debris, which can affect their adhesion. If the hook-and-loop material is worn, it may need replacement or the shoes may be nearing the end of their useful life.

Remove the insoles (if possible) and air the shoes out completely. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out before wearing.
