Can I use these for skating?
While they feature the heritage design of a skate shoe, current materials are best for casual lifestyle use.
How do I protect the suede from water?
You can apply a water-repellent spray specifically formulated for suede leather before wearing them outdoors.
Is the leather ethically sourced?
Yes, the leather is sourced from tanneries assessed and certified by the Leather Working Group.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dusty or dull
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently buff the suede in one direction to restore the nap.
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure a double knot is used or consider switching to a slightly longer lace for a more secure bow.
Outsole losing traction
Clean the waffle tread with warm soapy water and a brush to remove debris trapped in the patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vans Old Skool trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the lace-up fastening to ensure a snug fit around the midfoot, utilizing the padding for ankle stability.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the suede texture.
- Stain Removal: For minor stains, use a dry suede eraser. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners which can cause discoloration.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the red pigment from fading over time.
