FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Vans Old Skool trainers are made primarily of canvas and suede and are not waterproof.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as the agitation and heat can degrade the rubber bond and material quality.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The Old Skool provides basic support, but they lack the heavy-duty arch support found in specialized running or orthotic shoes.
Are they suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, they were originally designed for skateboarding and remain highly popular for the sport due to their grip and durability.
Do I need to break them in?
While they are comfortable from the start, they will become more flexible and conform better to your foot after a few days of consistent wear.
How do I clean the white rubber midsole?
A magic eraser sponge or a mix of mild soap and warm water with a toothbrush typically works well on the white rubber sections.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight across the top of the foot
Loosen the laces starting from the eyelets closest to the toe to create more volume.
Heel slipping while walking
Use the extra eyelet at the top for a 'runner's loop' to secure the heel more firmly.
Visible dirt on suede sections
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean pencil eraser to gently remove dry stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans maintain their appearance, perform regular maintenance. Because these shoes often feature suede or canvas, avoid machine washing, which can damage the materials and adhesives. Instead, spot clean with a soft brush and a dedicated shoe cleaner. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. The lace-up system allows for easy adjustments to accommodate thicker socks or foot swelling throughout the day. These shoes are standard UK sizing; if you typically wear a UK 9, this model provides a true-to-size fit.
