FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?

While the Old Skool was historically used for skating, the 36 DX Anaheim Factory series is primarily a lifestyle re-issue focusing on heritage design.

How should I clean the canvas upper?

Use a dry brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild detergent for spot cleaning. Allow them to air dry naturally.

Do these sneakers fit true to size?

Yes, most users find that these sneakers fit true to their standard UK shoe size.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles can typically be removed or covered with your preferred aftermarket insert to improve comfort.

Are these shoes water-resistant?

No, the canvas material is porous and is not designed to be water-resistant or waterproof.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the white rubber midsole

Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth to gently wipe the surface.

Foot discomfort during long walks

The Old Skool series has a flat footbed; consider adding third-party orthopedic insoles if you require additional arch support.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you receive your Vans, ensure you have the correct size for your foot shape; the Anaheim Factory series generally fits true to size for most adults. To keep these trainers in peak condition, avoid machine washing, which can degrade the glue and fabric integrity. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the canvas and a damp cloth for the white rubber foxing. To prevent discoloration, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If the laces become frayed or stained, they are easily replaceable with standard flat athletic laces.
