FAQs
What makes the Old Skool the 'legendary' Vans shoe?
The Old Skool is legendary because it was the first Vans shoe to feature the iconic sidestripe, which has since become synonymous with the brand's identity and skate culture.
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
While they feature durable construction and a waffle outsole for grip, the Old Skool is primarily designed as a casual lifestyle shoe. For serious skateboarding, consider models specifically engineered for the sport.
What does 'LWG certified' mean for the leather?
LWG (Leather Working Group) certification means the leather used in these shoes comes from tanneries that meet high environmental standards, covering aspects like energy and water consumption, waste, and air emissions.
How do I care for the leather and suede parts?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt on suede and canvas. For leather, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. Avoid getting the shoes excessively wet. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the Comfycush midsole?
The Comfycush midsole is Vans' technology designed to provide lightweight cushioning and enhanced comfort, making the shoes more comfortable for all-day wear.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
These shoes are not waterproof. While the materials offer some resistance, they are best worn in dry conditions. For wet weather, consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for leather and suede, but be aware this may alter the appearance slightly.
What size UK shoe should I order if I am a US size 8?
Generally, a US Women's size 8 converts to a UK size 6. However, it is always recommended to check Vans' specific size conversion chart or try them on if possible, as fits can vary.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try them on again. If still tight, wear them around the house with thicker socks to help them stretch slightly. Consider if a larger size is needed.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Ensure the insole is properly seated. If the squeak persists, try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Water damage or staining on suede
Allow shoes to dry naturally away from heat. Use a suede eraser for minor marks. For significant water stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner or use a suede protector spray before exposure to wet conditions.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length. Consider wax-coated laces for increased durability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Vans Old Skool shoes come ready to wear. Simply lace them up to your preferred tightness using the provided laces for a secure fit.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult wear and are compatible with casual attire. They are suitable for a wide range of foot shapes due to their lacing system, though they are a standard fit.
Care:
- Cleaning the Uppers: For suede and canvas, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid soaking the shoes. For leather elements, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner.
- Lining and Insoles: The textile lining can be spot-cleaned. The Comfycush insole can be removed for air drying if they become damp.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with water and mild soap to maintain grip.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in a shoe bag or box to maintain their shape.
