Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up the Vans Old Skool V Toddler Trainers is straightforward:
- Open Straps: Fully open both hook-and-loop (Velcro) straps on each shoe.
- Slide Foot In: Gently guide your toddler's foot into the shoe.
- Secure Straps: Fasten the straps firmly but comfortably across the top of the foot. Ensure they are snug enough to prevent slipping but not so tight as to restrict movement or circulation.

- Size: Available in UK toddler size 9 (and other toddler sizes as variants).
- Gender: Unisex design, suitable for all toddlers.
- Foot Type: Accommodates most toddler foot shapes due to the adjustable straps.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Vans Old Skool V Toddler Trainers:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the rubber sole and white SideStripe with a damp cloth and mild soap regularly to prevent dirt buildup.
- Suede Cleaning: For the suede parts, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and scuffs. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. *Avoid excessive water on suede.*
- Fabric Cleaning: For the canvas/fabric sections, a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water can be used for spot cleaning.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid Machine Washing: These trainers are not machine washable due to their mixed materials, especially suede.
