The Making of Barkcloth
Vans shoes and cleaning?
I just recently bought a pair of Vans, the ones with the KISS band members on them, and I was wondering, are they 1)Canvas and other Fabrics, 2) Suede(including canvas styles with leather or suede trim), 3)Velvet, Corduroy, Tapestry, Brocade, Barkcloth, Wool and Felt, or 4)Embossed Velvet? Basically, which one of these 4 categories do those shoes fit in? Because I was wondering on how to clean and take care of them so they last long. Thanks.
You've asked a very interesting question. I am a previous Vans owner and these shoes are hard to keep clean, Especially around the bottom of the shoes. I used to get an old cup mix 50/50 bleach/detergent and an old toothbrush to scrub the whites of the shoes in order to keep them clean. Once the shoes get dirty around the bottom, it's hard to get that dirt ring out. Be careful with the bleach so it doesn't get on the material part of the shoe. However, you can also try putting them in the washing machine (but that makes the "VANS" logo fades after a few washing or even the 1st wash) but it does keep the "Material" part of the shoe clean.
Good Luck.
