Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Skate Old Skool 36+ remain in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short durations for the first few days to allow the suede and internal straps to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt from the upper. For canvas areas, a mild detergent and a soft cloth work best. Avoid machine washing, as it can compromise the vulcanized rubber bonding.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the glue from degrading and the canvas from fading.
- Laces: Ensure laces are tightened to maximize the effectiveness of the internal tongue straps for a secure fit.
