FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?

Yes, the Vans Old Skool Junior Shoes are designed for durability and comfort, making them an excellent choice for daily school wear and play, provided school dress codes allow for their style.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

We recommend measuring your child's foot and comparing it to the Vans sizing chart. It's often best to size up slightly to allow for growth, ensuring a comfortable fit without being too loose.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No, machine washing is not recommended, especially for the suede and canvas materials. It can damage the shoe's structure, color, and materials. Please follow the spot cleaning and care instructions provided.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these shoes are not waterproof. The suede and canvas materials will absorb water. We recommend applying a suitable water and stain protector for suede and fabric if you anticipate light exposure to moisture, but avoid heavy rain or puddles.

What's the best way to clean the red suede?

For red suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt. For scuffs, a suede eraser works well. For stubborn marks, a suede cleaner specifically designed for colored suede can be used sparingly, always testing on an inconspicuous area first to avoid color alteration.

Do these shoes offer good ankle support?

The Old Skool features supportive padded collars which provide comfort and some ankle cushioning. While they are a low-top design, the secure lace-up fastening helps hold the foot firmly in place.

Troubleshooting

Shoes appear dirty or scuffed after play.

For canvas, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For suede, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dirt. For deeper scuffs on suede, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure a double knot is tied firmly. Check if laces are worn; replace if frayed. Consider teaching your child different lacing techniques for a more secure hold.

Unpleasant odor from shoes.

Ensure shoes are fully air-dried after wear. Remove insoles if possible and air them out separately. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use, letting it sit overnight before shaking out.

Setup (Wearing)

  1. Lacing: Ensure laces are securely tied to provide a snug, yet comfortable fit around your child's foot. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict circulation, or leaving too loose, which can cause slipping.

Care Instructions

To prolong the life and appearance of your Vans Old Skool Junior Shoes:

  • Spot Cleaning: For light dirt on the canvas, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush. For suede, use a specialized suede brush or eraser to gently lift dirt and scuffs.
  • Deep Cleaning (Suede): Avoid excessive water. If deeper cleaning is needed, use a suede cleaner product specifically designed for the material. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Protection: Consider applying a suede and fabric protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and and stains.
  • Drying: Air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing with paper can help maintain their shape.
