FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, some users prefer sizing up by a half size.
Can I use these for skating?
Yes, they are designed with the classic Old Skool skater heritage in mind, including a grippy rubber outsole.
How do I clean the white rubber foxing?
A magic eraser or a mixture of baking soda and water applied with a toothbrush works well on the rubber parts.
Are these suitable for formal wear?
The Old Skool is best suited for casual, streetwear, or smart-casual outfits rather than formal attire.
How long do they take to break in?
Typically, you will notice a more comfortable, customized fit after 3 to 5 days of regular wear.
Do these come with extra insoles?
No, they come with a built-in foam insole, but the insole is generally removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feeling too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets to adjust the tension across the bridge of the foot.
Outsole losing grip due to debris
Use a stiff brush or a damp cloth to clear the waffle tread pattern of small stones or compacted dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you have selected your correct UK size. If you plan to wear thick socks, consider how this affects the internal volume.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water as this can damage the structural adhesives.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Never place your shoes in a tumble dryer or directly against a heater, as heat can warp the rubber and weaken the materials.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray compatible with the upper material to keep them looking fresh longer.
