FAQs

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the Vans Skate Old Skool trainers are designed for all genders.

Are these suitable for actual skateboarding?

Yes, these are specifically from the 'Skate' series, which includes reinforced construction for skate performance.

How do I ensure I pick the right size?

These trainers use standard UK adult sizing. Refer to the specific variant size (e.g., 9.5 UK) to match your foot measurement.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended, as machine washing can damage the structural adhesives and the suede components of the shoe.

What materials are used in these shoes?

The series typically utilizes a combination of durable suede and sturdy canvas for the upper, paired with the signature rubber waffle sole.

Troubleshooting

The shoe feels too stiff when first worn

The Skate series uses high-quality, durable materials that require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the materials to soften.

Difficulty cleaning the white portions of the pattern

Use a specialized rubber eraser for the midsole and a soft-bristled brush with a gentle cleaner for the fabric portions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction suitable for high-impact activities
  • Timeless, recognizable aesthetic
  • Available in a comprehensive range of adult sizes
  • Provides stable support for long periods of wear

Cons

  • May require a break-in period due to sturdy construction
  • Checkered pattern may be difficult to clean if stained
  • Limited to specific colorways in this series

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, ensure you have selected your correct UK adult size, as the Skate Old Skool series tends to have a more structured internal fit than casual slip-ons. When cleaning, avoid machine washing to maintain the integrity of the adhesive and materials. Instead, spot clean the canvas and suede areas with a soft brush and specialized shoe cleaning solution. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the rubber soles and compromise the fabric.
