FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Vans Authentic has a relatively standard fit. While they can accommodate some width over time as they break in, they are not specifically designed for wide feet. Consider trying them on if possible.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
It is not recommended to machine wash Vans Authentic shoes, especially those made with linen canvas and suede, as this can damage the materials and construction.
What is the difference between the Authentic and other Vans models like the Era or Old Skool?
The Authentic is the original, simplest silhouette. The Era adds a padded collar for comfort, while the Old Skool features a signature side stripe and a reinforced toe cap.
How do I break in my new Vans Authentic shoes?
Wear them around the house for short periods with comfortable socks. The linen canvas and rubber will gradually conform to your foot shape.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the linen canvas and suede materials are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions.
What size should I order if I'm between sizes?
Many customers find Vans Authentic shoes to run slightly large. If you are between sizes, it is often recommended to size down.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with medium-thick socks for a few hours at a time to gently stretch the material. Avoid wearing them for extended periods initially.
Discoloration on linen canvas
Test a small, inconspicuous area with a mild cleaner. For persistent stains, consider professional cleaning or opt for spot cleaning with a damp cloth and minimal, mild detergent.
Waffle sole losing grip
Clean the outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting traction.
Suede areas look matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions.
