FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for actual skateboarding?

While inspired by skate culture, the Knu-Skool is primarily a lifestyle shoe. For serious skateboarding, consider Vans' Pro Skate line which features enhanced cushioning and durability.

What is the main color of these trainers?

The main color is Green, with True White accents.

How should I care for the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a suede brush for general cleaning and a dedicated suede cleaner for stains. Avoid water and direct heat when drying.

What does 'Knu-Skool' refer to?

Knu-Skool is a style that pays homage to the bolder, chunkier silhouettes popular in 90s skate fashion, offering a modern take on a classic look.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear suede and canvas shoes in heavy rain, as it can damage the materials and affect their appearance. Using protective sprays can offer some resistance.

What is the difference between Knu-Skool and other Vans models?

The Knu-Skool typically features a more pronounced, padded silhouette compared to slimmer Vans models like the Old Skool, reflecting a 90s aesthetic.

What UK shoe size is this product?

This specific product listing is for a UK size 10.5.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and ensure they are not tied too tightly. If the shoes are new, they may require a break-in period. Wearing them with medium-thickness socks can help assess fit.

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, refer to specific suede cleaning products and follow their instructions carefully.

Waffle sole losing grip

Clean the outsole to remove any embedded debris that might be affecting traction. Ensure the sole material itself has not significantly worn down.

Color transfer onto socks

This can sometimes occur with new, darker footwear. It is often reduced after a few wears or a gentle wipe-down of the interior lining with a slightly damp cloth (test in an inconspicuous area first).

Care Instructions:
