FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
While the Old Skool series has deep roots in skate culture, this specific variant is best suited for casual, lifestyle wear.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
These trainers generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to opt for the larger size for a comfortable fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, you can remove the standard insoles and replace them with aftermarket orthotics if you require additional arch support.
What is the best way to keep the green color vibrant?
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use, as intense UV rays can cause the fabric to fade over time.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these are made primarily of canvas and are not waterproof. We recommend using a fabric protector spray to help repel light moisture.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or mud on the canvas upper
Use a soft brush to remove dried dirt, then gently clean with a mixture of mild soap and warm water.
Scuff marks on the rubber foxing
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a gentle melamine foam sponge to buff out marks.
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable during break-in
Wear them for short periods around the house with thicker socks to gradually stretch the canvas to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Vans looking their best, avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and structural integrity of the shoe. Instead, spot clean the canvas with a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and water. For the rubber soles, a simple wipe with a damp cloth or a magic eraser can effectively remove scuffs. Ensure the shoes are fully air-dried away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent warping or discoloration of the fabric.
