These Vans youth sneakers are easy to use. Just open the velcro straps, slip your feet in, and fasten the straps. For best results, make sure the straps are firmly attached but not too tight. When it comes to maintenance, you can clean the canvas upper with a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the material. Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Also, check the velcro regularly to make sure it's still sticky and can hold well.
