FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for casual, everyday lifestyle wear and do not have the specialized cushioning required for long-distance running.

Do I need to treat the upper fabric?

While not strictly required, applying a standard fabric protector spray can help keep the brown and grey tones looking fresh for longer.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

The Vans Old Skool generally fits true to size, but since these are a UK 5.5, ensure you wear the same thickness of socks you intend to use daily when trying them on.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, you can remove the existing insoles to replace them with orthotic or supportive inserts if you require more arch support.

What should I do if they get wet?

Remove the insoles if possible and let the shoes air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff initially

Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the materials to flex and break in.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the lace eyelets are clean of debris for better friction.

Outer sole losing grip

Use a damp cloth to wipe the rubber outsoles, as dust buildup is the most common cause for loss of traction.

Pros and Cons

  • Padded collar prevents ankle irritation

  • Requires a break-in period for maximum comfort
  • Specific brown and grey colorway may have limited outfit versatility

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vans Old Skool trainers last, begin by ensuring you have selected the correct UK size 5.5 for an optimal fit. Before wearing them out, consider applying a water and stain repellent spray to protect the fabric upper from the elements. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or mud. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth, avoiding machine washing or heavy soaking, which can compromise the glue and structural integrity of the shoes. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
