FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Vans Old Skool series generally fits true to size, but the canvas upper is flexible enough to accommodate most standard widths.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your Vans, as it can damage the glue and fabric; hand cleaning is the best way to extend their life.
Do these provide good arch support?
They offer standard support typical of vulcanized skate shoes. If you require significant arch support, consider adding an aftermarket insole.
How do I check my size?
Vans Old Skool trainers follow standard UK sizing; ensure you match your measurement to the specific UK size provided on the product label.
Is the checkered pattern printed or woven?
The classic Vans checkered pattern is typically part of the canvas textile weave, ensuring it stays vibrant throughout the life of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Dirty rubber outsoles
Use a magic eraser or a mild soap and water solution with a cloth to scrub the white rubber sidewalls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the canvas and rubber sidewalls. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized mild detergent solution, avoiding machine washing to preserve the structural integrity of the rubber bonding. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the green fabric. Ensure you choose the correct UK size, as these shoes are designed for a standard fit suitable for most adult feet.
