FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The SK8-Mid Reissue generally has a standard fit. If you have wider feet, it's advisable to try them on if possible or look for reviews that specifically mention width.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, construction, and shape of the shoe.
What is the main difference between SK8-Mid and other Vans models?
The SK8-Mid offers a mid-top silhouette, providing more ankle coverage and support compared to low-top models like the Authentic or Old Skool.
How do I care for the blue and grey color combination?
The blue canvas and grey suede require separate care. Clean canvas with a damp cloth and soap. Use a suede brush and eraser for the grey parts, and consider a protector spray for both.
Are these trainers unisex?
While this specific listing is for men's sizing, the SK8-Mid Reissue style is often considered unisex in design. Please refer to the size chart for accurate fitting.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is typically made from a combination of canvas and suede, which contributes to its classic look and feel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thinner socks initially or consider using a shoe stretcher designed for trainers. Break-in period may be required.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
These trainers are not designed for extreme wet conditions. For improved grip, ensure soles are clean and dry. Use caution on slick surfaces.
Discoloration on suede parts
Use a suede eraser to gently remove marks. For persistent stains, consult specialized suede cleaning products and follow their instructions carefully.
