FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Generally, Vans Knu Skool shoes are considered true to size. We recommend ordering your usual Vans size. If you're unsure, refer to a size chart for accurate measurements.

What materials are the Knu Skool shoes made from?

The upper is crafted from durable leather, the lining is 100% textile for comfort, and the sole is 100% rubber with the iconic waffle tread pattern.

Can I use these for skateboarding?

While inspired by 90s skater culture and offering good grip and padding, these are a lifestyle shoe. For intensive skateboarding, specialized skate shoes might offer more specific performance features and durability designed for frequent impact and abrasion.

How do I clean the chunky laces?

The chunky laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing your shoes.

What does the 'Knu Skool' name signify?

'Knu Skool' is a modern interpretation of the classic 'Old Skool' design. It emphasizes a 'new' (Knu) take on the iconic silhouette, bringing back the chunky, oversized, and comfortably padded styles popular in the 90s.

Will the padded tongue make the shoes too hot?

The padded tongue provides comfort and contributes to the style. While it adds volume, the textile lining is designed to maintain breathability for everyday wear. For extreme hot weather, you might notice slightly more warmth than a minimalist shoe.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the lacing tension. The pierced eyelets and chunky laces allow for significant customization. Ensure the tongue is centered and the padded collar sits comfortably around your ankle.

Scuffs or dirt on the leather upper

For light dirt, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent marks, use a leather-specific cleaning solution, following the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Squeaking sound when walking

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the interior, and ensuring the insole is dry before reinserting. A light dusting of baby powder under the insole can also help.
