FAQs
Can I put my Vans Skate Old Skool 36+ in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the leather/suede materials. Always clean by hand.
What is the primary difference between the 36+ and the original Old Skool?
The 36+ version features performance-grade upgrades like Duracap™ reinforcements, Popcush™ cushioning, and a more durable outsole.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult UK sizing.
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
The Popcush™ technology is designed for impact protection, which also provides excellent comfort for long periods of walking.
How do I protect the suede panels from water?
It is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray specifically formulated for suede leather before initial use.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede panels
Use a specialized suede cleaning brush or eraser rather than water to prevent water staining.
Insoles feel worn after heavy use
While the Popcush™ insoles are durable, they can be removed or replaced with new compatible insoles if needed.
Excessive moisture or sweat buildup
Remove the insoles to air out the shoe completely and store in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready for wear straight out of the box. As the fit is consistent with standard Vans sizing, you can expect a familiar feel if you have owned similar low-profile trainers.
To keep your shoes in peak condition:
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and debris.
- Spot Treatment: Wipe the non-suede parts of the shoe with a damp cloth.
- Suede Care: Use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser for the leather/suede panels to avoid damage.
- Drying: Always air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Never put these in a washing machine or dryer, as the heat and agitation can ruin the vulcanized bond and damage the leather materials.
