FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Vans Sk8-Hi series generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adults.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the floral print pattern; hand cleaning is preferred.
Are these suitable for skateboarding?
While based on the original skate shoe silhouette, they are perfectly suited for casual wear and light recreational use.
How do I protect the floral pattern?
You can apply a fabric-safe water and stain repellent spray, which helps shield the canvas from spills and light dirt.
What is the height of the shoe?
The Sk8-Hi is a classic high-top design that covers the ankle bone.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Try a different lacing technique, such as skipping the eyelet where the pressure point exists to allow for more volume.
Visible dirt on the canvas
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow to air dry naturally away from heat sources to avoid fabric shrinkage.
Outsole losing grip
Wipe the rubber underside with a damp cloth to remove dust or debris buildup that may be affecting traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Sk8-Hi trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New trainers may feel stiff; wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush to remove dry dirt from the canvas. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution, but avoid submerging the shoes completely.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the floral pattern.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces to secure the ankle collar firmly without restricting circulation to the foot.
