FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Vans Old Skool are not designed to be waterproof. While the materials offer some resistance, they are best suited for dry conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
How do I clean the canvas and suede parts?
For canvas, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth is usually sufficient. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, spot cleaning with a suede cleaner and a soft brush is recommended. Always allow shoes to air dry completely.
What does 'Leather Working Group (LWG) certification' mean?
LWG certification indicates that the leather used in the shoes comes from tanneries that meet recognized environmental standards, covering aspects like water usage, energy consumption, waste management, and air emissions.
Can I wear these for running or sports?
The Vans Old Skool are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They are not intended for high-impact sports or intense athletic activities, as they lack specialized support and cushioning for such uses.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Lace up the shoes, adjusting the tension to your comfort. Ensure there's a little room in the toe box without your heel slipping. Consider trying them on towards the end of the day when your feet are slightly larger.
What is the typical lifespan of these shoes?
With proper care and regular use for casual activities, the Vans Old Skool can last several years. Durability depends on usage intensity and maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and readjust for a more comfortable fit. If still tight, consider wearing thinner socks or breaking them in gradually.
Suede material looks matted or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, a suede cleaner can be used, following product instructions carefully.
Laces are fraying
Replace the laces with a new pair. Vans offers replacement laces, or any standard shoelaces of the correct length will work.
Soles are losing grip
Clean the waffle pattern thoroughly with a brush and water to remove accumulated dirt. Ensure the soles are dry before use.

Care Advice:
- Uppers: For suede and canvas, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and debris. For stains, a damp cloth can be used carefully. Avoid excessive water.
- Leather: Clean leather with a slightly damp cloth. Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent drying. Ensure leather is from environmentally-certified tanneries (LWG).
- Lining: The textile lining can be spot cleaned with mild soap and water. Allow to air dry completely.
- Sole: Clean the rubber waffle outsole with a brush and water to remove dirt and maintain traction.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
