FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Vans Skate Old Skool trainers are generally consistent with standard adult UK sizing.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can cause the suede to shrink, stiffen, or lose its color. Always spot clean by hand.
Are these suitable for professional skateboarding?
Yes, they are designed with the durability required for skatepark performance.
What is the primary material used?
The upper of these trainers is primarily constructed from high-quality suede.
How do I remove salt stains from winter walking?
Gently blot the area with a mixture of water and a small amount of white vinegar using a clean cloth, then let air dry away from heat.
Troubleshooting
Stiff fit during first wear
Wear the trainers for short periods around the house to allow the materials to flex and mold to your feet.
Surface dirt on suede
Use a dry suede brush to gently lift dirt particles without pushing them deeper into the material.
Sole grip feels slippery
Wipe the rubber outsoles with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris that might be impacting traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. To ensure a long life for your shoes, avoid machine washing, which can damage the suede fibers. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stubborn stains. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. To maintain the shape of the shoe, consider using cedar shoe trees when not in use.
