FAQs
How do I clean the suede parts of the shoes?
Use a specialized suede cleaning brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of suede cleaner to a clean cloth and gently rub the affected area. Always follow the instructions on your suede cleaner product for best results.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, these Vans Old Skool V shoes are designed for everyday wear, offering comfort and durability for active toddlers, whether at play or out and about.
What age group are these shoes designed for?
These shoes are specifically designed for toddlers, with sizes available in the toddler range from 1.5 to 9.5.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, especially due to the suede material. Machine washing can damage the materials and structural integrity. Always hand clean and air dry.
Do they fit true to size?
Info needed: It is generally recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the Vans sizing chart for the most accurate fit. Toddler shoe sizes can vary, so checking measurements is best to ensure comfort.
What materials are used in these shoes?
The shoes feature signature suede and canvas uppers, combined with a durable rubber sole for traction and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are coming off my toddler's feet easily.
Ensure both hook-and-loop straps are securely fastened and adjusted for a snug fit. Check if the shoe size is appropriate for your child's foot. A shoe that is too large will also slip.
The blue colour looks dull or dirty.
For light dirt, brush gently with a soft brush. For stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush, following product instructions. For canvas, use a mild soap and water solution on a cloth, then air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
My toddler complains the shoes are uncomfortable.
Check the shoe size to ensure it's not too small or too large. Make sure the straps aren't fastened too tightly. Allow a short break-in period, as new shoes can sometimes feel stiff initially. Ensure socks are worn to prevent rubbing.
