FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Old Skool silhouette has a fairly standard fit, but the lace-up design allows for some adjustment to accommodate wider toddler feet.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the materials and the rubber bonding.
Are the animal prints decals or fabric patterns?
These trainers feature high-quality fabric patterns that are integrated into the material for durability.
How do I determine if this size is correct for my child?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for growth.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
While they are comfortable for general wear, they are designed as lifestyle trainers rather than orthopedic footwear.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty getting the shoe on the toddler's foot
Loosen the laces fully before attempting to put the shoe on, or use a shoehorn to help guide the heel into the back of the trainer.
Visible dirt or mud on the canvas material
Allow the mud to dry completely, then use a dry soft-bristled brush to gently remove the debris before spot cleaning with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vans Old Skool trainers, regular maintenance is key. Since these are made with canvas elements, it is recommended to spot clean them with a soft brush and mild soap rather than submerging them in water, which can affect the glue and material integrity. Avoid machine washing, as the heat can degrade the rubber bond. For the best fit, ensure your toddler is wearing socks of appropriate thickness to allow for natural foot growth and comfort.
