What size are these specific trainers?

Troubleshooting
Trainers appear dirty or stained quickly
Regularly brush off loose dirt with a suede brush. For tougher marks, use a specialized suede cleaner for the suede parts and a mild soap solution for the canvas, applying gently. Consider using a protective spray before wear.
Suede looks matted or worn
Use a suede brush to restore the nap of the suede by gently brushing in one consistent direction. Avoid excessive friction or unnecessarily wetting the suede.
Fit feels too tight or too loose
Ensure the correct UK Kids Size 12 was purchased. Try adjusting the laces for a more customized fit. If discomfort persists, it may indicate incorrect sizing.
Strong odor development inside the trainers
Allow trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda packets inside overnight to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Always wear socks to help absorb sweat.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Vans Old Skool trainers:
- Cleaning Suede Sections: Use a soft suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher marks, use a specialized suede cleaner, following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing or excessive water, which can damage the material.
- Cleaning Canvas Sections: For the checkered canvas areas, a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth can be used. Gently scrub, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
- Protection: Consider applying a suede and fabric protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially before the first wear. Reapply periodically as directed by the protector product.
- Drying: Always air dry trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), as these can cause materials to shrink, crack, or fade.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve the material integrity and prevent color fading.
