FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Vans Premium Authentic generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adults.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as the metallic studs and crystals may be damaged or become detached during the cycle.
What is the benefit of the Sola Foam ADC insole?
This insole provides significantly better shock absorption and energy return compared to the standard footbeds found in classic Vans.
Are the studs and crystals permanently attached?
Yes, they are professionally applied, but they should still be handled with care to maintain their integrity over time.
Is the canvas water-resistant?
While the canvas is durable, it is not inherently waterproof. Applying a fabric-safe water repellent spray is recommended if you live in a rainy climate.
What should I do if a crystal falls off?
We recommend contacting a professional cobbler or footwear repair service, as DIY glues can damage the surrounding canvas material.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty keeping the trainers clean
Use a specialized canvas cleaner and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding the metallic studs to prevent scratching.
Metallic studs snagging on clothing
Ensure pants are hemmed or cuffed above the forefoot area to prevent fabric contact with the crystals.
Insoles feeling flat after heavy use
Remove the insoles to let them air out and regain loft, or replace them with standard compatible aftermarket insoles if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Vans Premium Authentic trainers requires proper maintenance of the unique materials. To prepare for wear, ensure the laces are threaded through the metal eyelets securely; the extra pair of laces allows you to choose between a standard tonal look or a contrasting style.
Care instructions include:
- Cleaning: Spot clean the cotton canvas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging in water.
- Sidewall Care: Wipe the glossy sidewall with a non-abrasive damp cloth to maintain the shine.
- Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent the camouflage print from fading.
- Hardware: Periodically check that the metal studs are secure; avoid abrasive brushes around these areas to prevent scratching the finish.
