FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for babies who are learning to walk?
No, these Vans Old Skool Crib Baby Trainers are specifically designed for infants who are not yet walking. They provide style and comfort for pre-walkers but do not offer the support needed for walking.
How do I choose the correct size for my baby?
It's best to measure your baby's foot length and compare it to the official Vans infant sizing chart. Always ensure there's a little room for growth without being too loose.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the suede material. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions.
What materials are used in these trainers?
The upper is primarily made of suede, complemented by synthetic materials and elasticated laces.
What's the best way to clean the suede?
Use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, a damp cloth or specialized suede cleaner can be used gently. Always air dry.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Check the sizing against your baby's foot measurements. The hook-and-loop strap allows for minor adjustments; ensure it's secured correctly.
Baby's foot slips out easily
Ensure the hook-and-loop strap is fastened securely. If the problem persists, the size might be too large, or the foot is too narrow for the fit.
Suede upper appears dirty or stained
Use a soft suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede cleaner as directed, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Unfasten the Strap: Open the single hook-and-loop closure completely.
Loosen Laces (if needed): The elasticated laces are designed for flexibility, but you can gently stretch them if needed for easier access.
Use Heel Pull: Grip the heel pull tab to widen the shoe opening and guide your baby's foot in.
Secure Fit: Close the hook-and-loop strap snugly but not too tightly, ensuring your baby's foot is comfortable.
Compatibility
Age Group: Designed specifically for infants (pre-walking babies).
Sizing: Available in infant sizes (e.g., UK 1, 2, 3). Ensure you select the correct size for your baby's foot to prevent discomfort or the shoe falling off. Refer to Vans' official sizing chart for accurate measurements.
Usage: Best suited for indoor use or light outdoor wear in dry conditions. Not intended as performance footwear for walking or active play.
Care
Cleaning Suede: For the suede upper, use a soft brush designed for suede to gently remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, a specialized suede cleaner or a damp cloth (mildly) can be used, rubbing gently in one direction. Always allow to air dry away from direct heat.
Cleaning Outsole: The printed waffle sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
General Care: Avoid machine washing or submerging the trainers in water, as this can damage the suede and overall construction. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
