FAQs
How do I clean the suede parts of these trainers?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, then allow them to air dry away from heat. Avoid getting the suede overly wet.
Are these trainers suitable for walking toddlers?
Yes, they are designed with a cushioned cupsole and a flexible tread for support. However, the elastic laces and hook-and-loop closure might offer a less secure fit for very vigorous activity compared to traditional laces.
What is the main benefit of the hook-and-loop closure?
The hook-and-loop closure, along with elastic laces, makes it very easy and quick for parents to put the shoes on and take them off an infant's foot.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The materials, especially suede, can be damaged by the washing and drying process. Hand-clean according to the care instructions provided.
What does 'Hylane' refer to in the product name?
'Hylane' is the specific series name for this line of Vans trainers, inspired by classic Vans designs but updated for contemporary comfort and ease of use.
How do I ensure the correct size for my infant?
The product lists UK children's foot sizes. It is best to measure your infant's foot and compare it to standard UK sizing charts to ensure the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the foot into the shoe.
Loosen the elastic laces and ensure the hook-and-loop strap is fully open before inserting the foot. Gently guide the foot in.
Suede material looks dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.
Hook-and-loop closure is not holding.
Ensure the hook-and-loop surfaces are clean and free of debris. Rub them together vigorously to refresh the grip. If wear is significant, the strap may need replacement.
Tread appears worn.
The reverse waffle tread is designed for flexibility. Minor wear is normal with use. If significant loss of tread depth occurs, consider replacing the shoes.

- Cleaning Textiles: Most textile parts can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth.
