FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though the Old Skool fit is known to be slightly snug. Consider sizing up if you prefer a roomier fit.

Can I use these for professional skateboarding?

Yes, the construction features the same durable materials and grip as standard Vans Old Skool models used by skaters.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Consult the brand's official size chart and measure your foot length against the UK size guide before purchasing.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the shoes are made primarily of canvas and are not waterproof. Use a protective spray to help repel light moisture.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is primarily constructed from durable canvas with reinforced stitching and a rubber waffle outsole.

Are these shoes suitable for machine washing?

Vans does not recommend machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the materials and adhesive bonds.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Try a double knot or consider replacing the laces with textured flat laces that offer better grip.

Stiff feel when first worn

Canvas shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the materials to soften naturally.

Scuffing on white rubber midsoles

Use a magic eraser or a specialized rubber cleaner to gently buff away black scuff marks from the side of the sole.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean canvas areas. Avoid machine washing, which can compromise the glue and structural integrity.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the graphic prints.
  • Protection: Consider applying a fabric-safe water and stain repellent spray to protect the exterior from environmental elements.
