For more than 20 years, Vans Shoes have been a popular choice for America's teens. Made of a heavy duty high-quality canvas material and heavy rubber sole, the slip on style is easy-on, easy-off and perfect for skateboarding and other athletic activities. As with any shoe designed for athletic use, they can get dirty, but cleaning Vans slip-ons is easy.
Fill a bucket with hot, soapy water and get a towel or sponge.
Dip the sponge into the soapy water and using a circular motion, gently scrub the Vans slip-ons with the sponge.
Repeat until you are satisfied the shoes are clean.
Leave shoes in the sun to air dry.
