Full details

The key benefit is their ease of use with hook-and-loop straps, promoting independence for children.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Old Skool V trainers generally offer a standard fit. While the hook-and-loop straps allow for some adjustment, they may not be ideal for very wide feet without trying them on first.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, these trainers should not be machine washed as this can damage the leather, embroidery, and adhesives. Spot cleaning and hand care are recommended.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole is made from 100% rubber, providing durability and good grip.

How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?

It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the Vans size chart. The UK size 3 is specified for this particular product.

Is the floral embroidery on both shoes?

Yes, the floral embroidery is a design feature that typically appears on both trainers to create a symmetrical look.

What does 'V' stand for in Old Skool V?

The 'V' in Old Skool V typically refers to the hook-and-loop strap fastening system, differentiating it from the traditional lace-up version.

Are these trainers waterproof?

These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. While the leather may offer some resistance to light moisture, they are not suitable for heavy rain or puddles.

Troubleshooting

Hook-and-loop straps not sticking well

Ensure the straps and the corresponding surfaces are clean and free from debris. Lint or dirt can reduce their adhesive effectiveness. Gently brush them with a soft brush.

Leather upper scuffs easily

For minor scuffs, try a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner. For deeper scuffs, consider a black shoe polish matching the colour of the trainers. Regular conditioning can help prevent minor damage.

Interior feels uncomfortable

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Check for any internal seams or stitching that might be causing irritation. A thin pair of socks can often help improve comfort.

Embroidery threads are loose

Carefully trim any loose threads with small, sharp scissors to prevent them from snagging further. Avoid pulling on loose threads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

Care Instructions:

  • Uppers: Clean the leather upper gently with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid soaking the leather.
  • Embroidery: To protect the floral embroidery, avoid abrasive cleaning methods. Brush off dry dirt gently. If needed, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, ensuring minimal water contact.
  • Lining: The textile lining can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Allow to air dry completely.
  • Sole: Clean the rubber sole with a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  • Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather and materials.
