FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede material is not waterproof and should be protected with a suede-safe water repellent spray if worn in light rain.
How do I clean the rubber outsole?
You can clean the rubber sides and sole using a damp cloth with mild soap or a magic eraser for stubborn scuffs.
Are these true to size?
Vans Old Skool trainers generally fit true to size. If you plan to wear thick socks, you may want to consider a half-size up.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the water and agitation can damage the suede and adhesive components.
What is the benefit of the Leather Working Group certification?
It ensures that the leather used in your shoes is sourced from tanneries that meet strict environmental standards regarding water and energy use.
Can these be used for professional skateboarding?
While based on skate heritage, these are a lifestyle model. For high-impact professional skating, look for specialized Vans 'Pro' or 'Skate' series shoes.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the suede upper
Use a soft suede brush to gently remove dry dirt particles in the direction of the nap.
Laces becoming loose during wear
Double-knot the laces or ensure they are pulled evenly to maintain consistent tension.
Foam insole feels less supportive over time
Consider replacing the original insole with a high-quality aftermarket orthotic insert for added arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vans Old Skool trainers, proper maintenance is key. Since the upper is made of suede, you should avoid submerging them in water. Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt after each wear to prevent buildup. If you encounter deep stains, utilize a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser rather than soap and water, which can stiffen the material. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the blue color to fade over time. For the best fit, ensure the laces are adjusted correctly to utilize the padded collar for maximum ankle support.
