FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you have particularly wide feet, you may prefer to go up a half size.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can ruin the suede material and damage the glue bonds. Always hand clean with appropriate tools.

What is the best way to clean the rubber sole?

A damp cloth with a mild soap solution is usually sufficient to wipe away dirt from the white rubber sides.

Do these shoes provide arch support?

They provide basic comfort via a foam insole, but they do not feature specialized orthotic arch support.

Can I wear these for sports?

While they are sturdy, they are categorized as lifestyle trainers and are not optimized for intense athletic sports like running or court sports.

How do I protect the red suede color?

Use a color-specific suede protector spray and keep them out of direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent fading.

Troubleshooting

Surface dirt on suede

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently buff the suede in the direction of the nap.

Squeaking sound while walking

Check if the insole has shifted; remove and reposition it, or ensure the interior is completely dry.

Laces coming untied too easily

Use a double knot or ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets to distribute tension.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable, grippy traction for city walking
  • Padded collar provides excellent ankle comfort
  • High-quality suede material offers durability
  • Adjustable lace-up fit for various foot shapes

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to water and mud
  • Requires break-in time for optimal comfort
  • Not intended for heavy-duty athletic performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vans Old Skool trainers last, begin by applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede before your first wear. To adjust the fit, lace the shoes snugly but avoid overtightening, which can lead to foot discomfort. When cleaning, avoid using a washing machine. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt or a specialized suede eraser for stubborn marks. Keep them away from direct heat sources when drying, as heat can cause the suede to stiffen or shrink.
