I would not recommend purchasing shoes from this company. I tried to return a pair of white Vans shoes that were destroyed after washing, as per the items washing instructions: wash in cold water and allow to air-dry. However, after they dried, a yellow stain surrounded the rubber part along the bottom of both shoes, traveling up onto the canvas all around both shoes. When I tried to the shoes at the Tilly's in the Fashion Fair Mall in Fresno, CA, one week after purchasing them online with my original receipt, I was refused my money back and told I should not have washed the shoes. Unfortunately, washing garments worn on a daily basis is unavoidable, at some point. However, the day after I purchased the shoes, my puppy stepped on the top side of one shoe leaving a small dirt print. The dirty paw print washed off completely, but the they were ruined by a chemical or glue that was used to make the shoes.
