FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

Yes, the Vans custom Vibram® outsole provides excellent grip and durability, making them suitable for skateboarding. The upgraded construction also enhances support.

How do I clean the leather knot details?

Gently wipe the leather knots with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking them.

What is the main difference between these and standard Old Skool models?

These feature a Vans custom Vibram® outsole for enhanced grip, a leather footbed for upgraded comfort, and unique handcrafted leather cord knot detailing.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

These trainers are not waterproof. While the Vibram outsole offers good grip, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended and may damage the suede and canvas materials.

How should I care for the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a suede brush regularly to remove surface dirt and maintain the texture. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.

What size should I order if I'm unsure?

Vans Old Skool trainers generally fit true to size. Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer and consider your typical shoe size for trainers. If you are between sizes, it's often recommended to go up half a size for a more comfortable fit.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

The shoes have a foam insole and an upgraded leather footbed that provides cushioning. While they offer good general support for casual wear and skateboarding, they do not feature specialized orthopedic arch support.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip on the outsole.

Clean the Vibram® outsole with a brush to remove embedded dirt and debris. Ensure the surface you are on is dry.

Suede material looks matted or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Leather knots appear dry or stiff.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the knots using a soft cloth. Allow to absorb, then buff gently.

Insoles feel uncomfortable after extended wear.

Ensure the insoles are properly seated. For additional comfort, consider replacing them with aftermarket insoles designed for cushioning.

Care Instructions:
