FAQs
What makes the Knu Skool different from the Old Skool?
The Knu Skool is a modern reinterpretation of the Old Skool, featuring a more pronounced, padded tongue, a 3D molded sidestripe, and typically uses thicker, oversized laces for a bolder look.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The Vans Knu Skool trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer good grip from the waffle sole, they are not engineered for high-impact sports or athletic performance.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions, often involving a damp cloth and gentle rubbing, followed by air drying. Avoid using water excessively.
What sizes are available?
These trainers are available in various adult sizes. Please refer to the size chart or product listing for specific available UK, EU, or US sizes.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, suede is not ideal for wet conditions. Prolonged exposure to rain or moisture can damage the suede material and may lead to staining. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Do the oversized laces affect comfort?
The oversized laces are a stylistic element and do not typically affect comfort. The shoe's overall comfort is enhanced by the padded tongue and the general construction of the Knu Skool series.
What is the material of the sidestripe?
The sidestripe on the Knu Skool is a 3D molded component, adding a unique visual dimension and texture to the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets. If they are slippery, consider using a different knot or a lace lock if available. For oversized laces, a double knot might be necessary.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
The waffle sole provides grip, but extreme conditions like wet ice can still be slippery. Ensure the sole is clean; debris can reduce traction. For consistently slippery conditions, consider alternative footwear.
Shoe shape is losing its form
Use shoe trees when not in wear to help maintain the shoe's original shape. Avoid stuffing the shoes with paper, which can sometimes cause creasing.

Care:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a soft brush or a suede eraser to remove dry dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid washing with water as it can damage the suede.
- Laces: The oversized laces can be cleaned by hand-washing or machine-washing on a gentle cycle, then air-drying.
- Sole: The rubber waffle sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
