FAQs
Are these Vans Old Skool shoes suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, the Vans Old Skool shoes have a strong heritage in skateboarding culture. Their durable suede and canvas construction, along with the signature rubber waffle outsole, provides good grip and resilience for casual skateboarding and everyday wear.
What age group are these 'Junior' Vans Old Skool shoes for?
These shoes are specifically designed and sized for juniors, which typically refers to children and young adolescents. The size '2' indicates a UK children's foot size. Always refer to a sizing chart to ensure the best fit.
How do I clean the black suede and canvas parts?
For suede, use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and an eraser for scuffs. For canvas, use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and cold water solution, then wipe clean and air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing to prevent damage.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended for Vans Old Skool shoes, especially those with suede components. It can damage the materials, alter the shoe's shape, and fade colors. Always spot clean or hand wash as directed in the care instructions.
Do these shoes provide good arch support for kids?
Vans Old Skool shoes, being a classic skate shoe, offer moderate arch support. While comfortable for most children for daily activities, if your child requires specific arch support, you might consider adding custom insoles.
Are these shoes durable enough for active kids?
Absolutely. They are built with durable suede and canvas uppers, reinforced toe caps, and sturdy rubber outsoles, designed to withstand the rigors of active play and everyday use by children.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and remove superficial dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede eraser or cleaner, following product instructions carefully. Always brush in one direction.
Canvas appears dirty or stained
Gently scrub affected canvas areas with a soft brush or cloth dipped in a mild soap and cold water solution. Rinse the cloth and wipe away soap residue. Allow to air dry completely.
Rubber sidewalls are scuffed or discolored
Use a mild abrasive cleaner (like a magic eraser or a small amount of toothpaste) on a damp cloth to gently rub scuffs off the rubber. Wipe clean with a damp cloth afterwards.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the correct size was purchased. If new, wear them for short periods to break them in. Adjust laces to alleviate pressure points. Consider trying thinner socks.
Laces frequently come untied
Ensure laces are tied with a double knot. If laces are old or worn, consider replacing them with new ones that have a better grip.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Vans Old Skool Junior Shoes, especially given their suede and canvas construction.
- General Cleaning:
- For everyday dirt, brush off loose debris with a soft brush.
- Mix a small amount of mild soap with cold water.
- Use a cloth dipped in the soapy water to gently scrub canvas areas. Avoid oversaturating.
- For suede parts, use a suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to carefully brush dirt away.
- For tougher marks on suede, a specialized suede cleaner or eraser stick is recommended.
- Wipe rubber outsoles and sidewalls with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can damage materials.
- Stain Treatment: Treat stains on suede or canvas as quickly as possible. For specific stain types, consult a shoe care guide or professional.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and canvas to protect your shoes from the elements and help prevent future stains. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. You can stuff them with tissue paper to help maintain their shape.
