Using these Vans Zahba Mid skate shoes is a breeze. Just slip your feet in, tie up the laces, and you're ready to hit the skate park. When you're skating, you'll notice the great impact protection and boardfeel right away. For everyday use, these shoes are also comfortable to walk around in. As for maintenance, it's simple. After a skate session, wipe off any dirt or debris with a clean, dry cloth. If they get really dirty, you can gently hand - wash them in cold water with a mild detergent. Just make sure to air - dry them, and avoid putting them in the dryer as it can damage the materials. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place. Also, keep in mind that although the shoes are durable, don't push them too hard beyond their limits, especially when attempting very extreme skate moves.
