FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skating?
Yes, the Old Skool series was originally designed for skate performance, featuring durable construction and grip.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Vans generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, we recommend trying the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
Can I replace the insoles?
The stock insoles are glued in, but many users choose to swap them for aftermarket orthotics if additional arch support is needed.
Are these water-resistant?
The canvas and suede materials are not waterproof. We recommend applying a water-repellent spray if you plan to wear them in damp conditions.
Do these shoes come with extra laces?
Typically, the shoes include the standard flat laces as seen in the product image.
How long do these typically last?
With daily use, the durability of the materials typically supports 12-18 months of regular wear, depending on activity intensity.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage when walking
Use the top eyelets to create a 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing technique to secure the foot.
Stiff feel during first use
Wear the shoes for short intervals at home to allow the materials to soften and break in naturally.
Scuff marks on the white rubber
Use a white pencil eraser or a dedicated rubber cleaner to gently buff away surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your Vans Old Skool trainers is straightforward: lace them up to your desired tension for a secure feel. These trainers fit true to size for most adults, though it is recommended to wear them with medium-thickness socks during the first few days to allow the canvas and suede materials to mold to your feet.
To keep your trainers in top condition:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the upper. Use a mild soap solution for localized stains on the white rubber midsole.
- Avoid Immersion: Do not machine wash or fully submerge the shoes in water, as this can degrade the adhesives and material structure.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the blue fabric.
