FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?

Yes, the Old Skool series was originally designed for skating and features the classic grip required for the sport.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

It is not recommended, as machine washing can damage the glue bonds and cause the canvas to lose its structure.

What is the best way to keep the burgundy canvas clean?

Spot clean with a soft brush and a mild detergent solution, then allow them to air dry completely.

Do these shoes provide good arch support?

They offer standard flat-sole support. If you require significant arch support, you may wish to add an aftermarket insole.

Do the laces need to be replaced often?

The provided laces are durable, but can be replaced with any standard flat sneaker lace if they wear out or if you want a different style.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight across the midfoot

Loosen the laces significantly before putting them on and adjust them to your comfort once your foot is inside.

Visible scuffs on the rubber toe cap

Use a specialized rubber eraser or a magic sponge to gently buff away black scuffs from the white rubber sides.

Canvas has lost its shape

Stuff the front of the shoes with clean, dry paper when not in use to help them retain their natural form.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vans Old Skool Trainers stay in top shape, follow these simple guidelines:

  1. Sizing: These shoes fit true to size. Ensure you have the appropriate UK size for your foot to prevent rubbing.
  2. Breaking In: New canvas shoes may feel stiff initially. Wear them for short durations for the first few days to allow the material to flex to your foot shape.
  3. Cleaning: Do not machine wash. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the canvas. For persistent marks, use a damp cloth with mild soap, and always air dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent the rubber from warping.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the canvas color from fading over time.
