Vans Old Skool - Black - Size: 1

The Vans Old Skool V Kids' trainers are designed with a standard width fit. While they accommodate most feet, for specific concerns about a wider fit, it is recommended to try them on to ensure comfort.

No, it is strongly not recommended to machine wash these trainers due to their suede and canvas construction. Machine washing can cause damage, shrinkage, and material deterioration. Please follow the detailed spot cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care' section.

These trainers are specifically part of the 'Kids' age group range, designed for youth. The 'V' in the name often denotes the Velcro/riptape closure, which is common in younger children's sizes for ease of use.

To prolong the life of the suede, regularly brush off dirt with a dedicated suede brush. Consider applying a suede protector spray before initial wear and reapplying periodically. Avoid excessive exposure to water and mud, and clean spills immediately.

Vans shoes, including the Old Skool series, have a heritage in skateboarding due to their durable construction and grip. While these are a kids' version, they share the durable materials and low-profile design that are beneficial for casual use and light activity.

The upper of the Vans Old Skool V Kids' trainers is made from a combination of durable suede and canvas underlays, providing both classic style and resilience.

Clean any debris, lint, or pet hair from both the hook and loop sides of the riptape fasteners. Over time, debris can reduce their grip. Use a small brush or pick if necessary. If heavily worn, the fasteners may lose effectiveness over time.

Refer to the 'Care' section above for specific instructions on cleaning suede and canvas. Avoid using regular soap or water directly on suede. For canvas, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used. Always air dry.

Ensure the riptape straps are fastened snugly. If the issue persists, double-check the shoe size. Children's feet grow quickly, so ensuring the correct size is crucial for comfort and fit.

Gently wipe the side stripe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tougher marks, a soft bristle brush can be used carefully. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent damage to the surrounding material.
