FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally recommended to hand clean Vans to preserve the materials and the strength of the adhesive closures.
How do I know if they fit correctly?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between the child's longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, the hook-and-loop system allows for a customizable fit across the instep for various foot shapes.
Can these be worn without socks?
While possible, wearing socks is recommended to prevent friction and keep the interior of the shoe hygienic.
Does the purple color fade?
Like most dyed footwear, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause minor fading over time; try to store them out of direct light when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Hook-and-loop straps are not sticking properly
Check for debris, lint, or pet hair caught in the hooks and remove using a small brush or tweezers.
Shoes feel tight on the child
Verify the child's current foot measurement; toddler feet grow quickly and may require a transition to the next size up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vans Old Skool V trainers, follow these care steps:
