FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?

Yes, the Vans Old Skool originated as a skate shoe. Its durable construction and signature Waffle outsole provide excellent grip and board feel, making it suitable for skateboarding.

How do I find the right size?

Vans Old Skool typically fit true to size. It's recommended to try them on if possible or refer to a Vans size chart. If you are between sizes, consider ordering a half size up for comfort.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoes. Please follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the care section.

What materials are the shoes made from?

The Vans Old Skool True White features a combination of durable canvas and synthetic uppers, with contrasting suede panels for added visual appeal and reinforcement. The sole is made of Vans' signature rubber.

Is the 'True White' color difficult to keep clean?

As with any white footwear, the 'True White' color can show dirt and scuffs more easily. However, with regular cleaning and proper care using mild soap for canvas and special suede cleaners for suede, you can maintain their fresh appearance.

What is the 'Sidestripe' (Jazz Stripe)?

The Sidestripe, also known as the 'Jazz Stripe', is a distinctive wavy stripe found on the side of Vans Old Skool shoes. It was originally a random doodle by founder Paul Van Doren and became an iconic symbol of the brand and its skate culture heritage.

Troubleshooting

My white Vans are getting dirty very quickly.

Regularly clean your shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains on canvas, a mixture of warm water and laundry detergent can be used. For suede, use a specialized suede brush and eraser.

The shoe feels a bit stiff initially.

This is normal for new shoes, especially with robust canvas and suede materials. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in, and they will become more comfortable over time.

The rubber sole seems to be losing its grip.

Ensure the waffle pattern on the outsole is clean of debris like mud or small stones. A build-up can reduce traction. If the sole is worn smooth, it may be time to replace the shoes.

Suede parts are looking dull or stained.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser can help. Consider applying a suede protector to prevent future staining.

Cons

Care Instructions

To maintain the pristine 'True White' appearance and extend the life of your Vans Old Skool:

Regular Cleaning: For daily dirt and scuffs, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap.
Deep Cleaning (Canvas): Mix warm water with a small amount of laundry detergent. Apply with a brush, gently scrub the canvas, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Let air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
Deep Cleaning (Suede): Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a small amount of white vinegar applied with a soft cloth can be effective. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Protecting Suede: Consider using a suede protectant spray to repel water and stains.
Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag in the washing machine.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not put your shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
