FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports like skateboarding?
While the Vans Style 38 has a skate-inspired design and durable construction, they are best suited for casual wear. For serious skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes with enhanced padding and grip are recommended.
How do I clean the checkerboard pattern?
Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap to gently clean the fabric. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, which can damage the material and the print.
What is the material of these Vans?
The upper is primarily constructed from nylon with the signature checkerboard pattern. The sole is typically made of rubber.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Vans sizing can sometimes vary slightly. It is recommended to check the size chart provided by the retailer or measure your foot to ensure the best fit, especially for UK size 9.5.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
These shoes are not waterproof. While they offer some protection, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended. Applying a water-repellent spray can offer some protection against light moisture and stains.
What does 'Style 38' refer to?
Style 38 is an internal Vans model designation, often associated with specific design elements and history within the brand's lineup. It corresponds to the classic low-top silhouette.
What is the return policy if the fit is not right?
Return policies vary by retailer. Please check the specific return policy of the seller you purchased from for details on exchanges or returns due to sizing issues.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight upon arrival.
Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to mold to your feet. Thinner socks can also help. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if socks are too thick.
Color transfer from the pink to socks or skin.
This can sometimes occur with new dyed fabrics. Washing the inside of the shoes with a damp cloth and allowing them to dry thoroughly might reduce initial transfer. Ensure socks are colorfast.
Sole is separating slightly after wear.
For minor separation, a strong adhesive suitable for footwear can be carefully applied. For significant separation, consult a cobbler or consider replacement if within warranty.
Water stains appearing on the fabric.
Apply a water-repellent spray suitable for footwear before wear to help prevent stains. If stains occur, try to clean gently with a damp cloth as soon as possible. Avoid soaking the shoes.
