FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing; however, if you have wider feet, you may prefer a slightly roomier feel depending on your preference.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash your Vans as this can damage the adhesives and the pearlised finish; stick to hand cleaning.

What materials are used for the upper?

The upper features high-quality materials designed for the Old Skool 36 series, complemented by the specialized pearlised coating.

Are these suitable for professional settings?

Due to their refined pearlised detailing and clean white look, they can be appropriate for smart-casual dress codes in creative or relaxed environments.

How do I protect the pearlised finish?

Use a light, non-silicone based water repellent spray and avoid using harsh scrubbing brushes on the upper sections.

Do these provide arch support?

They feature the standard Vans footbed, which provides moderate support for casual walking.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or dust on the white surface

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently whisk away surface dirt before it sets into the material.

Scuff marks on the rubber sole

Apply a small amount of non-abrasive cleaner to a cloth and rub the scuff mark firmly until it fades.

Laces becoming discoloured

Remove the laces and hand-wash them separately in a mixture of warm water and soap; air dry completely before re-lacing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Premium pearlised finish offers a unique visual appeal
  • Timeless design pairs easily with most outfits
  • Durable build quality characteristic of Vans footwear
  • Balanced fit suitable for long-term daily use

Cons

  • White colourway is highly susceptible to dirt and stains
  • Limited to specific aesthetic preferences due to the pearlescent sheen
  • Requires frequent cleaning to maintain the 'fresh' look

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the most out of your Old Skool 36 Trainers begins with a proper fit—ensure they feel snug but not tight across the midfoot. For compatibility, they pair best with denim, chinos, or shorts, given the low-top profile. To keep them in pristine condition, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean the upper using a soft brush, warm water, and a mild detergent. For the outsole, a damp cloth or specialized sneaker wipe can remove scuffs and dirt. It is highly recommended to use a protective water-and-stain repellent spray immediately after purchase to create a barrier against the elements.
