FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?

How do I determine my size?
These trainers are listed in UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your standard sneaker size.
Can these be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the materials and glue. Spot cleaning by hand is highly recommended.
What materials are used in the construction?
The Knu Skool typically features durable suede or canvas uppers combined with a rubber waffle outsole.
Does the padding lose its shape?
With normal wear, the padding will settle, but it is designed to maintain its shape and cushioning properties over a long period.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The thick internal padding needs time to compress. Wear the shoes for a few hours daily to allow the foam to conform to your feet.
Difficulty keeping laces tight
Due to the padded tongue, ensure you re-tighten the laces from the bottom eyelets up to ensure a consistent, secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Knu Skool trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short durations indoors for the first few days to allow the thick padding to mold to your foot shape.
- Sizing: These trainers fit true to size, but the extra internal padding may make them feel snug initially; consider this if you prefer a looser fit.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water on a cloth, but avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant blue color from fading.
