Questions and answers

Are the Vans Classic Slip-On Checkerboard true to size?
They run slightly long and wide for many buyers. If you are between sizes or have narrow feet, try a half size down.
Can you wear them without socks?
Yes, but the canvas lining can rub and get smelly. Thin no-show socks keep them comfortable and cut down on odor.
Are they good for skateboarding?
They work for casual cruising, but the canvas upper wears through faster than Vans' suede skate models. The waffle sole does give solid grip.
How do you clean the checkerboard canvas?
Brush off dry dirt, then spot clean with mild soap and a soft brush. Do not machine wash; air dry away from direct heat.
Are they water-resistant?
No. The canvas upper soaks through in rain. A fabric protector spray helps a little but does not make them waterproof.
