FAQs
Can these be washed in a machine?
No, you should never wash these shoes in a machine. Stick to spot cleaning with a damp cloth.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Old Skool 36+ has a standard fit. While the leather will soften over time, those with very wide feet may find them snug initially.
What makes the 36+ different from the standard Old Skool?
The 36+ features professional-grade upgrades like Popcush insoles and Duracap reinforcement designed for heavy skateboarding.
How should I dry my shoes if they get wet?
Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid placing them near heaters or in direct sunlight.
Do I need to replace the insoles?
The Popcush insoles are designed to be durable, but if they wear out, they can be replaced with standard skate-specific aftermarket insoles.
Troubleshooting
Sole separation from the upper
Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or heat sources, as these can compromise the vulcanized bond.
Stiffness when new
Wear the shoes for short periods daily to gradually soften the leather and break in the Popcush insole.
Dirty appearance
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to spot treat affected areas rather than submerging the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans maintain their integrity, it is important to follow proper care protocols. The shoes arrive ready for immediate use, though lacing them snugly is recommended to take advantage of the structured support.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft damp cloth to spot clean the leather exterior and sole edges. Avoid abrasive brushes that might damage the surface.
- Prohibition: Never put your shoes in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation will degrade the adhesive bonds.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the internal foam cushioning.
