At Urban Industry We Recommend These For

• Effortless daily wear across spring, autumn, and dry winter days.
• Elevating casual setups when paired with relaxed denim, chinos, or workwear trousers.
• Quick travel and urban commutes requiring convenient slip-on functionality.

Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• From what we've seen in-store: the Classic Slip-On 98 LX runs true to size for standard feet.
• The leather upper will stretch slightly with wear, moulding comfortably to the shape of your foot.
• If you have a high instep or wide feet, considering a half size up can make stepping in easier.
• Low-cut padded ankle construction ensures non-restrictive comfort throughout the day.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Clean surface dirt with a damp cloth or soft footwear brush.
• Apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking.
• Avoid machine washing or submerging in water to preserve the leather finish and sole bonding.
• Allow to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or radiators if exposed to moisture.

Vans Classic Slip-On 98 LX Shoes - Our FAQs

1. What makes the LX version different from standard Vans Slip-Ons?
   The LX edition features premium materials, higher-grade leather, and upgraded interior footbed cushioning compared to core models.
2. Do these leather slip-ons stretch over time?
   Yes, the supple leather upper will naturally soften and yield slightly to your foot shape after a brief break-in period.
3. Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
   While leather offers better weather resistance than canvas, treating them with a leather protector spray is recommended for wet conditions.
4. Are these suitable to wear without socks?
   The smooth internal lining feels comfortable, but wearing no-show socks helps maintain freshness and prolongs the shoe's lifespan.
5. How do I maintain the deep demitasse color?
   Use a neutral or colour-matched shoe cream occasionally to nourish the leather and preserve its rich shade.
