i hope everyone hasn't forgotten about me lol, it sjust i'jm having a good summer thats all
i have these vans slip on shoes and i want to clean them because i got dirt on them, but i have no idea how to clean it. I tried using just water and a bit of soap but after some scrubbing, the checkered tiles started fading from the non scrubbed areas; and the scrubbed areas had these weird specs coming out of it, these dots..
does anyone know the proper way of cleaning these? lol

put them in the washer. works for me.
You never put Vans in a wash machine.
There is a foaming spray that Vans sells. It's a black bottle. Use that, it works wonders. Not many people know about it so they end up washing the shoes with all kinds of weird crap. It costs $4.99, and it lasts a while. They also sell the "stain and water shield" which is a light spray that keeps the water off the shoes, and doesn't let stains sink into the material. If you spray the shoe and let it dry, try dropping a bit of water on it and it'll just glide off.
I know this because I worked for them for 2 years.
