FAQs

How do I clean the white parts of my Vans Old Skool shoes?

For the canvas and rubber areas, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap or a specialized shoe cleaner. Gently scrub with a soft brush if needed, then wipe clean. For suede, use a suede brush and eraser.

Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?

Yes, the Vans Old Skool was originally designed for skateboarding. Its durable construction, reinforced toe caps, and signature waffle outsole provide excellent grip and boardfeel, making them highly suitable for skating.

What materials are these shoes made from?

These Vans Old Skool shoes are primarily constructed from durable suede and canvas for the upper, with a rubber waffle outsole for grip.

How should I store my Vans when not wearing them?

Store your Vans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If storing for a long period, you can loosely stuff them with acid-free tissue paper to help maintain their shape.

Do Vans Old Skool shoes run true to size?

Vans Old Skool shoes generally run true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly by person. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult a size guide if unsure.

Can I machine wash my Vans Old Skool shoes?

No, it is strongly advised not to machine wash your Vans Old Skool shoes. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure, leading to premature wear and tear.

Troubleshooting

White shoes appear dirty quickly

Regularly wipe down the canvas and rubber foxing with a damp cloth. For suede areas, use a suede brush to remove surface dirt and a suede eraser for scuffs. Consider applying a stain and water repellent spray designed for footwear.

Suede appears matted or worn

Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction, which helps to lift and restore its original texture. For very matted areas, a suede eraser can be used before brushing.

Shoes develop an odor

Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors. Replace insoles if odor persists.

Laces become frayed or break

Replace the laces with new ones of the appropriate length and color. Standard flat shoelaces typically work best for Vans Old Skool shoes.

Care

Maintaining the longevity and appearance of your Vans Old Skool shoes, especially in white suede and canvas, requires specific care:

Spot Cleaning: For light dirt and scuffs, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Gently rub the affected area. For tougher stains on canvas, a soft brush can be used.
Suede Care: For suede portions, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. A suede eraser can help with stubborn marks. Apply a suede protector spray regularly to repel water and stains.
Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, remove the laces and insoles. Use a shoe cleaner specifically designed for sneakers or a mixture of mild detergent and water. Apply with a soft brush, scrub gently, and wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not put your Vans in a washing machine or dryer, as this can severely damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoes.
