Vans Old Skool Shoes Junior - Grey - Size: 10

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser for scuffs. For canvas, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub dirty areas. Always allow to air dry completely.

These Vans Old Skool trainers are designed for everyday casual wear, playground activities, and light recreation. While durable, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance sports or activities that require specialized athletic footwear.

These are 'Junior' or 'Kids' trainers, typically suitable for children from toddler age up to early teens, depending on their foot size. They are sized in UK children's shoe sizes.

It's best to measure your child's foot accurately and compare it to a Vans size chart. Allow a small amount of growing room (about a thumb's width) at the toe. If possible, try them on with the type of socks your child usually wears.

The signature rubber waffle outsoles are designed to provide good grip and traction on a variety of common surfaces. While they offer reliable stability, no shoe is entirely slip-proof, especially on extremely wet or oily surfaces.

The upper is a combination of durable suede and canvas. The sole is made from Vans' signature rubber waffle material.

No, it is strongly advised against putting these trainers in a washing machine. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe, potentially leading to shrinkage or separation.

Check the lacing tension; it should be snug but not restrictive. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks (not too thick or thin). If the issue persists, double-check the shoe size against your child's current foot measurements.

Ensure the laces are tied with a secure double knot. Teach your child to tie their laces properly, or consider replacing standard laces with those that have a slightly rougher texture for better grip, if suitable.

Immediately spot clean with a soft brush or damp cloth using a specialized cleaner for suede and canvas. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which can push the stain deeper. For tough stains, a suede eraser may be helpful. Always allow to air dry.

Ensure the shoes are aired out regularly after wear. If necessary, use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Remove insoles for cleaning and drying if they are removable.

A squeak can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped inside the shoe or under the insole. Remove the insole (if possible) and allow both the shoe interior and insole to dry completely. Check for any loose parts inside the shoe.
