Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care for your Vans Old Skool trainers will significantly extend their lifespan. Out of the box, ensure you lace the shoes to your preferred tension to accommodate your arch height.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the canvas and suede panels.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution; avoid soaking the shoes as this can weaken the adhesive bonds.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can warp the rubber and cause the fabric to fade or shrink.
- Protection: Consider applying a water-resistant spray for suede and canvas to help prevent surface stains.
