FAQs
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the Vans Old Skool Trainers feature a unisex design suitable for both men and women.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can weaken the glue and warp the shape of the shoe. Stick to spot cleaning.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though individuals with wider feet may prefer to size up by half a size.
What materials are used in the construction?
They are constructed using a mix of durable canvas and suede, featuring a rubber waffle outsole.
Are these suitable for running?
No, these are designed as casual lifestyle trainers and do not provide the cushioning or support required for running.
Will the blue color fade?
Like all dyed canvas, some gradual fading is natural over time if exposed to intense, prolonged sunlight. Store them indoors to maintain the color intensity.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too stiff when new.
This is normal for the Old Skool model. Wear them for short periods around the house to help the canvas and suede soften to your foot shape.
Surface scuff marks on the rubber midsole.
Use a white eraser or a damp magic sponge to gently buff out scuffs and restore the white appearance of the side foxing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Old Skool Trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with mild soap and cold water; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never place your shoes in a dryer, as high heat can damage the adhesives and fabric integrity.
- Compatibility: These shoes fit true to size. If you plan on using custom orthopedic insoles, you may need to remove the factory-glued liners, though it is recommended to keep them intact for standard wear.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the blue fabric.
