At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• Daily city commuting and all-day walking where a flat, stable base is preferred
• Skateboarding and BMX use requiring traditional vulcanised board feel
• Casual summer outfits and festival wear due to the breathable canvas build
• Building a classic footwear rotation focused on iconic, heritage-based designs

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• These trainers feature a traditional low-profile fit that sits below the ankle
• The vulcanised construction provides a firm but flexible feel that breaks in quickly
• The garment fits true to size for most foot shapes
• Here at the store we recommend taking your usual size, as the canvas will naturally soften and adapt to your foot width over the first few wears

Washing & Care Instructions

• Hand wash with a soft brush and lukewarm water to preserve the Olive pigment
• Use a mild, non-biological detergent to remove surface dirt from the canvas
• Avoid the use of a washing machine or tumble dryer to prevent the rubber sole from warping
• Hang to dry naturally in a shaded area to avoid UV fading of the fabric
• Wipe the rubber foxing regularly with a damp cloth to keep the shoes looking fresh

Vans Premium Authentic 44 - Our FAQs

1. How is the "Premium" version different from the standard Authentic?
   The Premium range uses higher-density canvas and more refined rubber compounds, resulting in a sturdier feel and a silhouette that more accurately reflects the original 1970s deck shoe.

2. Do these shoes offer arch support?
   Like most traditional vulcanised skate shoes, the Authentic 44 has a flat sole. While it features a cushioned footbed for impact protection, it is designed for stability and board feel rather than high arch correction.

3. Is the Olive colour prone to fading?
   Canvas is a natural material that will develop character over time, but by avoiding harsh detergents and direct sunlight during drying, you can maintain the depth of the Olive shade for longer.

4. Are these suitable for wet weather?
   While the rubber sole provides excellent grip on wet surfaces, the canvas upper is breathable and non-waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions or light summer showers.
