FAQs

Are Vans Old Skool true to size?

Generally, Vans Old Skool trainers run true to size. However, fit can vary slightly. If you're between sizes, it's often recommended to go with your larger size, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks. Always refer to a size chart if available.

What materials are the Vans Old Skool (True White) made of?

This specific variant features durable canvas and leather uppers, providing a blend of flexibility and resilience. The sole is made of Vans' signature rubber waffle outsole.

Are these suitable for skateboarding?

Yes, the Old Skool design originated as a skateboarding shoe. Its durable construction, padded ankle collar, and iconic waffle outsole provide excellent boardfeel and grip, making them suitable for skateboarding.

How do I keep my white Vans clean?

Regular spot cleaning with mild soap and water for canvas, and a damp cloth with leather cleaner for leather, is key. Avoid machine washing. Air dry away from direct sunlight. Consider using a protective spray.

Do Vans Old Skool provide arch support?

As a classic skate shoe design, the Vans Old Skool typically features a flatter, lower-profile sole to optimize boardfeel. This means they offer minimal arch support compared to athletic running shoes. For significant arch support, aftermarket insoles may be considered.

Can I wear them in the rain?

While the materials are durable, white canvas and leather can get wet and stain easily. It's best to avoid heavy rain to preserve their appearance and integrity. A water-resistant spray can offer some protection against light moisture.

What does 'Off The Wall' mean?

'Off The Wall' is Vans' original slogan, coined in the mid-70s by skateboarders. It refers to skateboarders flying off the walls of empty pools and to the individual style and unique personality of the brand and its wearers.

Troubleshooting

White material looks dirty quickly.

Regularly spot clean your trainers after each use to prevent dirt from setting in. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for canvas and a leather cleaner for leather sections. For tougher stains, consider a specialized white shoe cleaner.

Trainers feel uncomfortable or too stiff.

Vans Old Skool may have a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially. Ensure your laces are tied correctly – not too tight, not too loose. Experiment with different types of socks for added comfort or cushioning.

Squeaking sound when walking.

A common cause is friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and reapplying a thin layer of baby powder or cornstarch. Ensure laces are securely tied to prevent excessive movement of the foot inside the shoe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless Style: The Old Skool's iconic design remains a fashion staple, easily pairing with various casual looks.
  • Durable Construction: Built with robust canvas and leather, designed to withstand daily use.
  • Excellent Grip: The rubber waffle outsole provides reliable traction, making them suitable for various surfaces.
  • Versatile for Everyday Wear: Comfortable enough for long walks and stylish enough for casual outings.
  • Comfortable Padded Collar: Adds an extra layer of comfort and support around the ankle area.

Cons

  • White Material Requires Care: The True White color, especially on canvas, is prone to showing dirt and requires frequent cleaning to maintain its appearance.
  • Limited Arch Support: As classic skate shoes, they offer minimal arch support, which might not be ideal for prolonged athletic activities or individuals needing specific foot support.
  • Break-in Period: May require a short period of wear to fully conform to your feet for optimal comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your Vans Old Skool trainers is straightforward. Simply lace them up to your desired tightness. For a secure fit, ensure the laces are snug but not constricting, allowing for natural foot movement.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for casual wear and seamlessly integrate with a wide range of clothing. They pair well with:

  • Jeans (skinny, straight, relaxed fit)
  • Shorts and skirts
  • Chinos and casual trousers
  • Casual dresses and jumpsuits

Care Instructions

Maintaining the True White color of your Vans Old Skool trainers requires regular attention:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, use a soft cloth or brush dampened with mild soap and water. Gently scrub the affected areas.
  2. Canvas Cleaning: For canvas portions, a mixture of mild detergent and warm water can be applied with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). Scrub gently in small circular motions.
  3. Leather Cleaning: For leather parts, wipe with a damp cloth and a specialized leather cleaner if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals that can dry out or damage the leather.
  4. Rubber Outsole: Clean the rubber waffle outsole with warm water and a stiff brush to remove dirt and grime.
  5. Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash or put them in a dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  6. Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for canvas and leather shoes to help prevent future stains.
