Vans Knu Skool Mule - Black - White - 6

While they are inspired by skate culture, the open-heel design lacks the ankle support and secure fit required for technical skateboarding.

Wearing them with socks is personal preference, but low-cut or invisible socks are often recommended for comfort and to manage moisture.

You can use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or toothbrush to scrub the rubber edges, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

No, the leather and suede materials are not waterproof and should be protected from excessive moisture to maintain their appearance.

Leather and suede materials may loosen slightly with wear to accommodate your foot shape, but they should fit comfortably from the first wear.

The insoles are typically integrated into the shoe design; replacing them may alter the fit and support of the sculpted heel cup.

Ensure you are wearing the correct size and that the sculpted heel cup is not being obstructed by thick socks.

Use a dry soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt; avoid using water directly on the suede.

Ensure the shoes are fully aired out after use; using a fabric refresher spray can also help maintain freshness.
