FAQs

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the Vans Skate Old Skool Trainers are designed as unisex footwear, suitable for all genders.

What is the primary material used?

These trainers utilize durable materials, with certain models incorporating suede, designed to withstand daily wear and tear.

Are these suitable for professional skateboarding?

Yes, as part of the 'Skate' series, they are specifically engineered with features to support the demands of skateboarding.

How do I choose the right size?

These shoes generally follow standard UK sizing conventions. We recommend ordering your usual shoe size.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended, as machine washing can degrade the materials and adhesives. Spot cleaning is the preferred method.

Troubleshooting

The fit feels slightly stiff upon first wear

This is normal for new skate shoes; wear them around the house for a few hours at a time to soften the materials.

Surface dirt accumulation on the white sections

Use a specialized rubber eraser for the white rubber portions and a damp cloth for the fabric checkered panels.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and tied with a double knot if extra security is needed during activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vans Skate Old Skool Trainers last, keep these care tips in mind:

  1. Break-in: Wear them for short durations during the first week to allow the materials to contour to your feet.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the exterior. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a cloth; avoid submerging them in a washing machine to prevent damage to the glue and structural integrity.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the iconic checkered fabric over time.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers fit true to standard UK sizing, making them compatible with most standard casual apparel.
