FAQs
Are these suitable for skateboarding?
While based on skate heritage, the Knu Skool is primarily marketed as a lifestyle/casual trainer. For professional skating, consider specific performance-oriented Vans Pro models.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers are listed in UK adult sizes. We recommend selecting your standard shoe size.
Is the brown material waterproof?
The trainers are not waterproof. We recommend applying a protective water-repellent spray if you plan on wearing them in damp conditions.
Does the padded tongue make them hot?
The padding provides comfort but may retain slightly more heat than thin-profile trainers during summer months.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the internal insoles can typically be removed and replaced with custom orthotics if required for arch support.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Use a double knot or replace with slightly longer laces if the current length is insufficient for your preferred lacing style.
Creasing at the toe box
This is normal with leather and textile footwear. Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Knu Skool trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Sizing: These trainers follow standard adult UK sizing. If you prefer a looser fit for thicker socks, consider testing for width adjustments.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. For stubborn stains on the exterior, use a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for the material. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the padding and structural adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the rubber from warping or the materials from fading.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the brown finish.
