FAQs

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Old Skool generally has a standard fit. While the canvas upper offers some flexibility, they may not be ideal for individuals with significantly wide feet without trying them on first.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash Vans Old Skool trainers, especially those with leather accents. Machine washing can damage the adhesives, materials, and shape of the shoe.

How durable is the canvas material?

Vans canvas is known for its durability in casual wear. However, like most canvas shoes, it can be prone to scuffs and tears with rough or prolonged heavy use.

What is the difference between leather and suede Old Skool models?

Leather versions typically offer a smoother finish and may be slightly more resistant to water and scuffs. Suede versions have a softer, textured feel and might require more careful maintenance against dirt and moisture.

How do I care for the leather SideStripe?

Wipe the leather stripe with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for footwear.

Are these good for skateboarding?

The Old Skool series was originally designed with skateboarding in mind, featuring a vulcanized sole for board feel and grip. While suitable for light skating, modern skate shoes often offer enhanced padding and durability for more intense sessions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them around the house with thin socks to allow the materials to mold to your feet. If they remain uncomfortable, consider using a shoe stretcher or seeking an exchange if the fit is fundamentally wrong.

White color getting dirty easily

Apply a protective spray before wear. Clean stains promptly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks on the sole, use a magic eraser.

Laces fraying or getting dirty

Clean laces with mild soap and water, or replace them with new ones. Vans offers replacement laces in various colors.

Compatibility:

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For light dirt, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains on canvas, a mild soap solution can be applied with a cloth or soft brush, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Cleaning the Soles: The rubber soles can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a specialized shoe cleaner. A magic eraser can be effective for scuffs on white soles.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, which can damage the materials.
  • Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for canvas and leather to help protect them from the elements and make future cleaning easier.
