FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The Knu Skool trainers have a standard fit. While the lace-up design allows for some adjustment, individuals with particularly wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on is recommended for the best assessment.

What is LWG certification?

LWG stands for Leather Working Group. It is an internationally recognized certification that assesses the environmental performance of tanneries, covering aspects like water consumption, wastewater treatment, and waste management.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather can withstand light moisture, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions is not recommended without proper waterproofing treatment. Allow them to dry naturally if they get wet.

How should I break in my new Knu Skool trainers?

Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Walking around the house is a good way to start. If they feel tight in specific areas, a cobbler might offer stretching services.

What size should I order if I'm between sizes?

Vans trainers generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, consider your typical preference for snugness versus roominess. Many customers find ordering their usual size works best, but some prefer to size up for a bit more space.

What is the difference between the Knu Skool and other Vans models?

The Knu Skool is characterized by its chunkier silhouette and 90s-inspired design, often featuring more padding and a bolder look compared to slimmer, classic Vans models like the Old Skool or Authentic.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole. Try placing a powder or a small piece of paper towel under the insole. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Leather creasing excessively

Some creasing is natural with leather. Ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.

Discoloration from dirt or scuffs

Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth for spot cleaning. For deeper scuffs, a leather repair balm might be effective. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
