FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the water and agitation can damage the adhesive and the shape of the materials.
Do these shoes come in other colours?
Yes, the Vans Old Skool V series is available in various colours and patterns, though this specific guide focuses on the purple model.
How do I ensure I have the right size for my toddler?
Measure your toddler's feet while they are standing on a flat surface, ensuring there is a small amount of 'wiggle room' for growth.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the canvas and suede materials are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep puddles.
Can the insoles be removed?
The insoles in these trainers are generally fixed in place to maintain the structural stability of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Hook-and-loop strap not sticking properly
Check for lint or debris caught in the hook-and-loop material and remove it using a small brush or tweezers.
Surface scuffs on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser or a light, dry abrasive sponge to gently buff out marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Old Skool V Trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure the hook-and-loop straps are fastened snugly to provide proper arch and heel support.
- Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the structural integrity of the materials.
- Suede Care: Use a dedicated suede cleaner or brush to maintain the texture of the suede accents. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from warping or the colour from fading.
