FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the suede and the structural integrity of the shoe. Use hand-cleaning methods only.
Do these Vans run true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing, though individual foot shape can vary.
Can I wear these for long-distance walking?
While comfortable for daily activities, they lack the high-performance cushioning of dedicated running shoes, so they are best suited for casual walking.
Will the blue colour fade?
Like all dyed materials, intense and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause slight fading. Storing them out of direct light helps.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
Suede is sensitive to moisture. It is best to avoid heavy rain or puddles to prevent staining and water damage.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff when new
The suede and rubber construction requires a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations indoors to soften the materials.
Surface dirt on suede
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean eraser to gently lift dirt without damaging the nap of the material.
Soles losing grip
If the tread fills with debris, use a soft brush to clear the waffle grooves to restore optimal friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Old Skool trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Use a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before wearing them outside to create a barrier against the elements.
- Cleaning: Do not submerge the shoes in water. Use a dry soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt and a suede eraser to gently buff away scuffs or dried mud.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as prolonged UV exposure can cause the blue colour to fade over time.
- Fit Check: Ensure the size 6 UK fit matches your foot length comfortably with enough room in the toe box to prevent pressure points.
