FAQs
How do I clean my Vans Old Skool Junior shoes?
For suede parts, use a suede brush and eraser. For canvas, spot clean with a mild soap and water solution. Always air dry them completely away from direct heat. Do not machine wash.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, these shoes are designed for comfort and durability in everyday casual wear for children, perfect for school, playdates, and family outings.
What materials are these shoes made from?
The uppers are crafted from a combination of durable suede and canvas, while the sole is made of rubber with Vans' signature waffle pattern.
Do these shoes run true to size for children?
Vans shoes generally run true to size, but foot sizes can vary. It's always best to refer to a sizing chart and, if possible, have the child try them on to ensure the best fit.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the suede and canvas materials are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. Exposure to excessive moisture may cause damage or staining.
Can adults wear these 'Junior' shoes?
These shoes are specifically sized for children (Junior sizes). Adults would typically need to purchase shoes from Vans' adult size range, as the sizing scale is different.
What is the benefit of the 'waffle outsole'?
The signature rubber waffle outsole is designed to provide excellent grip and boardfeel, making them very durable and offering reliable traction on various surfaces, a hallmark of Vans' heritage.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct size. The lace-up fastening allows for adjustment: loosen laces for a more relaxed fit or tighten for more support. Wear appropriate socks (not too thick or thin).
Suede or canvas parts appear dirty or stained.
For suede, use a suede brush and eraser to remove dirt and scuffs. For canvas, spot clean with a mixture of mild soap and cool water, using a soft cloth or brush. Always air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure laces are tied securely, perhaps trying a double knot. If laces are old or worn, they may be slick and should be replaced with new ones.
Sole seems to be losing grip.
Check the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the waffle pattern thoroughly to ensure maximum contact with surfaces. If the outsole is severely worn, consider that it might be time for new shoes.
Shoes make a squeaking noise when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the insole and outsole. Try removing the insole (if removable), cleaning inside the shoe, and letting it air dry completely. If the noise persists, it could be a manufacturing quirk or the shoe adjusting to wear.

Care
Proper care will help extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Vans Old Skool Junior shoes. Refer to care instructions provided by the manufacturer.
- General Cleaning: Gently brush off any loose dirt or debris from the suede and canvas surfaces after each use.
- Suede Care: For suede areas, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water excessively on suede.

- Protection: Consider using a protective spray designed for suede and canvas to help repel water and stains, especially before initial wear.
