FAQs
What material are the Vans Old Skool made of?
The primary upper material for these specific Vans Old Skool is suede, complemented by durable rubber for the sole and accents.
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, the Old Skool model was originally designed with skateboarding in mind, featuring a durable construction and good grip. However, performance may vary based on individual skill and specific skateboarding demands.
How do I determine my UK shoe size?
Refer to the Vans size chart provided by the retailer. Generally, UK sizes are measured differently from US or EU sizes. Ensure you are comparing your foot measurement to the correct sizing guide.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash suede shoes, as it can damage the material and affect the shape and adhesive. Hand-cleaning with appropriate products is the preferred method.
What does 'Comfycush' mean?
Comfycush refers to Vans' technology that provides enhanced cushioning and comfort, making the shoe feel lighter and more comfortable for extended wear.
How often should I clean my suede Vans?
Regular cleaning with a suede brush after wear will help maintain their appearance. Deeper cleaning should be done as needed when stains or significant dirt appear.
What is the benefit of the reinforced toe caps?
Reinforced toe caps are designed to increase the durability of the shoe in an area that typically experiences a lot of wear and tear, particularly during activities like skateboarding or heavy walking.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For persistent stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a clean cloth, then brush to restore nap. Test cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing. For tightness, loosen the laces, particularly over the instep. For looseness, tighten the laces, ensuring an even pull across the shoe. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Sole seems to be separating slightly
This can sometimes occur with heavy wear. For minor separation, a strong adhesive suitable for rubber and canvas/suede may be used cautiously, but significant separation may indicate the end of the shoe's lifespan.
Laces are worn or damaged
Replace the laces. You can purchase replacement Vans laces or standard shoelaces of a similar length and material.
