FAQs
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the Knu-Skool trainers are designed as unisex footwear suitable for all.
Are these suitable for professional skateboarding?
While inspired by skate culture, they are primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion shoe.
Do I need to spray these with a protector?
Yes, applying a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray is highly recommended to extend the life of the material.
How should I clean the suede upper?
Use a dedicated suede brush and a specialized suede cleaning kit. Never machine wash suede sneakers.
How do Knu-Skool shoes compare to standard Old Skools?
The Knu-Skool features a much chunkier profile, including a puffed-up tongue and ankle padding, compared to the thinner, more streamlined profile of the classic Old Skool.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the suede
Use a dry crepe brush or a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift the stain or scuff mark.
Shoes feel too tight initially
Loosen the laces fully to adjust the fit, especially given the extra padding in the tongue.
Water spots on suede
Lightly dampen the entire shoe surface with a cloth and let it dry naturally away from heat sources to avoid uneven drying.
Pros and Cons

- Limited colorway options compared to standard Old Skool models
Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you receive your Knu-Skool trainers, ensure you check the size fitment before walking outside, as Vans sizing can occasionally run slightly different than other brands. To maintain the appearance of the suede:
- Use a Suede Brush: Regularly brush the surface to remove loose dust and restore the nap of the suede.
- Protective Spray: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first use.
- Spot Clean Only: Avoid soaking the shoes. Use a specialized suede cleaner or a white eraser for minor scuffs.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the pink accents.
