FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Vans Skate Old Skool generally fits true to your standard UK shoe size.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the materials and the adhesives used in the sole construction.

Are these suitable for skateboarding?

Yes, the 'Skate' series includes performance upgrades specifically designed to handle the impact and wear associated with skateboarding.

What is the best way to clean the white parts?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains on the rubber, a melamine sponge or specialized sneaker cleaner works best.

Do these shoes need a break-in period?

Most users find that these shoes become significantly more comfortable after a few days of regular wear as the materials soften.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff when new

This is normal for new trainers; wear them for short periods around the house to help the materials flex and conform to your foot.

Dirty rubber soles

Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with a mild detergent to gently scrub the white rubber sidewalls.

Suede looks dull

Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and restore the texture of the suede panels.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for casual and skate use
  • Durable materials provide excellent longevity
  • Recognizable and classic aesthetic
  • Provides reliable foot support for all-day wear

Cons

  • Light-colored sections may show dirt easily
  • Suede material requires specific care to prevent damage
  • Requires a break-in period for optimal comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vans remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since many models utilize suede, it is recommended to use a suede-specific brush to remove surface dust. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the glue and structural components. For general cleaning, use a mild soap with a soft brush on the rubber midsole and canvas portions. Ensure the shoes are air-dried away from direct heat sources, which can warp the materials. These shoes are true to size; however, wearing thin or performance-oriented socks can help achieve the most comfortable fit during the initial break-in phase.
