FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
While the Old Skool series has roots in skating, the 36 edition is primarily designed for casual lifestyle wear. They may lack the specific high-impact reinforcements found in modern pro-model skate shoes.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
This specific model is sized at UK 4.5. It is recommended to measure your foot in the afternoon when it is at its largest to ensure a comfortable fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, you can replace the existing insoles with orthotics or aftermarket comfort inserts if you require additional arch support.
Will the blue colour fade?
As with any dyed fabric, some fading can occur with prolonged exposure to harsh UV sunlight. Keeping them out of direct sun when not in use will help preserve the colour.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The materials used are not inherently waterproof. You may use a standard fabric protector spray to provide an additional layer of water and stain resistance.
Is the sizing consistent with other Vans models?
Yes, Vans sizing is generally consistent across the Old Skool series, though individual models may feel slightly different due to material composition.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on the shoes due to tight fit
Loosen the laces significantly before entry; the Old Skool design benefits from a wide opening before tightening to your preference.
Surface stains appearing on the upper
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft microfiber cloth to gently buff out the spot, avoiding harsh chemicals.
Laces becoming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or consider replacing the laces with a slightly more textured set for better friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers come ready for immediate wear. To ensure the longevity of your Vans Old Skool 36 trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the materials and adhesive bonds. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt after each wear. For deeper stains, spot clean using mild soap and water on a soft cloth. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the vibrancy of the blue colour. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature rather than using a direct heat source.
