FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday school wear?
Yes, the Vans Old Skool shoes are designed with durable materials and a comfortable fit, making them an excellent choice for daily school activities and play.
How do I clean the white sidestripe?
The white sidestripe is typically made of leather or synthetic material. Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap or a specialized shoe cleaner to gently wipe it clean. Avoid harsh abrasives.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended for Vans Old Skool shoes, especially due to the suede and canvas materials. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure. Hand cleaning as outlined in the care section is best.
What does 'reinforced toe caps' mean?
Reinforced toe caps mean that the toe area of the shoe has an extra layer of material or a stronger construction to protect against wear and tear, which is common for active kids who scuff their toes.
Is the sizing accurate for kids?
Vans sizing is generally consistent. It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to a Vans size chart, or try them on, to ensure the best fit.
Will the grey color fade over time?
Like most colored materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some fading over a very long period. Proper storage and care, including avoiding direct sun, can help preserve the color.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Check the lacing. Ensure laces are threaded correctly and adjusted evenly across the foot. A professional shoe fitting can confirm the correct size.
Suede looks dull or matted.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can help lift dirt and restore texture.
Canvas appears dirty or stained.
Mix a small amount of mild soap with warm water. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently scrub the canvas areas. Rinse with a damp cloth and air dry completely.
Shoes make squeaking noises.
Sometimes new rubber soles can squeak. Dust the bottom of the soles with baby powder or cornstarch to reduce friction. If the squeak is internal, it might be due to a loose insole; try removing, cleaning, and reinserting the insole.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Vans Old Skool shoes, especially with their suede and canvas construction, follow these guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: For canvas areas, use a mild soap (like dish soap) mixed with warm water and a soft brush (an old toothbrush works well) to gently scrub away dirt. For suede areas, use a specific suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, a suede cleaner or eraser can be used. Avoid excessive water on suede.
- Spot Treatment: Address spills or stains immediately to prevent them from setting.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and canvas to add an extra layer of protection against the elements.
- Lace Care: Laces can be removed and hand-washed separately with mild soap and water if they become very dirty.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
