Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Old Skool Trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Breaking In: New trainers may feel slightly stiff initially; wearing them with socks for short intervals will help the suede and canvas mold to your feet.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt from the suede portions. For the canvas sections, a mild detergent and a damp cloth are sufficient. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the materials and glue.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colours from fading.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede to add a layer of protection against the elements.
