FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

While the Vans Style 38 offers good durability for casual wear and light skate sessions, they are not specifically designed for the high demands of professional skateboarding. For such activities, consider Vans models engineered with enhanced features for skateboarding.

How do I clean the pink checkerboard pattern?

Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the affected areas and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Always allow the shoes to air dry.

What is the best way to ensure a proper fit?

Try them on towards the end of the day when your feet are slightly larger. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?

These shoes are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain or puddles is not recommended and may affect the materials.

What other colors and sizes are available for the Style 38 series?

The Style 38 series comes in various colors and patterns, and is available in a wide range of adult and children's sizes. Please check product listings for specific availability.

How do I care for the suede/canvas parts of the shoe?

For canvas, a brush and mild soap/water solution works well. For suede, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner to avoid water damage.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them with thicker socks for a short period to gently stretch the material, or consider using a shoe stretcher if the tightness is significant.

Color fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Soles becoming less grippy

Clean the rubber sole with water and a mild brush to remove any dirt or debris that may be reducing traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no assembly or setup. They are ready to wear right out of the box.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear, primarily for casual activities and light skateboarding. They are designed for all genders and are compatible with a wide range of casual apparel.

Care: To maintain the appearance of your Vans Style 38 Checkerboard shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt and debris. For stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a cloth. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the materials and construction.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can cause materials to shrink or warp.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent fading and material degradation.
