FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for skateboarding?

While inspired by skate culture, the Sk8-Mid trainers are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear. For demanding skateboarding activities, it is recommended to use shoes specifically engineered for skate performance.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Vans sizing chart and compare it with your foot measurements. Consider that UK sizing may differ slightly from other regions. The provided UK 7.5 is based on standard conversions.

What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Information regarding specific warranty periods is typically available from the retailer at the time of purchase or on the official Vans website. The product description does not specify a warranty.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash Vans trainers, as this can damage the materials, construction, and adhesive. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are made from canvas and suede, which are not inherently water-resistant materials. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What is the main difference between Sk8-Mid and Old Skool models?

The primary difference is the height: the Sk8-Mid features a mid-top cut for added ankle support and a different aesthetic, while the Old Skool is a low-top trainer.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to mold to your feet. Using thicker socks during the break-in period can also help stretch them slightly. Consider using a shoe tree for overnight stretching if needed.

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole, or within the shoe's construction. Try placing a powder, such as talcum powder, under the insole or ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Discoloration of white sole or sidestripe

Clean the affected areas with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser or specialized shoe cleaner can be effective. Avoid harsh chemicals.
