FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adults.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as machine washing can degrade the glue and material integrity. Hand cleaning is preferred.
Are these suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, they are designed as skate trainers and feature the iconic waffle grip necessary for the sport.
Do these provide arch support?
They offer a flat footbed which is characteristic of the Old Skool design; users requiring significant arch support may consider adding an aftermarket insole.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality canvas.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear
Loosen the laces significantly and wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the material to break in.
Canvas becoming dirty or dusty
Use a dry, soft brush to lightly scrub the surface; for stubborn stains, use a damp cloth with mild detergent.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure a double knot is used or replace with slightly textured cotton laces for better friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Old Skool trainers maintain their condition, follow these guidelines:
- Setup: Adjust the laces to your desired tension. Ensure the tongue is centered to prevent irritation against the bridge of your foot.
- Compatibility: These trainers are designed for casual adult wear. They pair well with denim, chinos, or casual shorts.
- Care: To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water solution on the canvas, taking care to avoid soaking the material. Air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the canvas from shrinking or warping.
