Vans Old Skool V Trainers - Beige - Grey - Size: 12

These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday activities. While they offer good grip, they are not specialized sports shoes and may not provide the necessary support for intense athletic training.

The Leather Working Group (LWG) certification ensures that the leather used comes from tanneries that adhere to strict environmental standards, assessing factors like water usage, energy consumption, and waste management.

For suede, it's best to use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and to restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on suede.

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as this can damage the materials, particularly the leather and suede, and affect the adhesive. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

'Old Skool' refers to the classic Vans silhouette, while 'V' typically indicates the use of a Velcro or hook-and-loop fastening system, making them easier to put on and take off.

The upper is primarily made of leather (80%) with some textile elements (20%).

This specific guide focuses on the beige/grey colorway. Other color options might be available depending on the retailer and current stock.

Ensure the velcro surfaces are clean from debris. Gently brush the hook and loop sides with a stiff brush.

For light scuffs, try a damp cloth. For deeper marks on suede, use a dedicated suede eraser or brush.

The rubber sole provides grip, but ensure it is clean. If the surface is wet or exceptionally smooth, traction may be reduced. Consider a sole protector if excessive slipperiness is a persistent issue on specific indoor surfaces.

Always refer to the specific size guide for children's footwear. Measure your child's foot to ensure the correct UK size is selected.
