FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
Yes, the Skate Old Skool series features upgraded impact protection and grippy rubber outsoles designed specifically for skateboarding.
How do I maintain the checkered pattern?
Clean the fabric panels with a gentle cloth and mild soapy water, while using a dry brush on the suede parts to avoid color bleeding.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Vans Old Skool trainers generally fit true to size, but the internal tongue straps provide a snugger fit than traditional trainers.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede components and the integrity of the adhesive; stick to spot cleaning.
What is the benefit of the SickStick rubber?
SickStick is designed to offer a higher level of grip and durability than standard rubber outsoles.
Troubleshooting
Tongue sliding to the side during wear
Ensure the laces are looped through the internal tongue straps to anchor it to the center of the shoe.
Surface dirt on the suede
Use a dry suede brush or a soft-bristle brush to gently work away dirt; do not use heavy water or soaps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans perform their best, start by ensuring the laces are threaded through the internal tongue straps to maximize the locked-in feel. Because these are constructed with genuine suede, they should be cleaned using a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the suede texture and the adhesive bond of the sole. If they become damp, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent cracking or warping of the materials.
