FAQs

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the Vans Old Skool 36 is designed as a unisex model suitable for all genders.

Can I wash these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the suede material and weaken the adhesive in the rubber outsole.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

They generally run true to standard UK adult sizing, though the padded interior may feel snug at first until the foam breaks in.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is constructed from high-quality, durable suede.

How do I maintain the color of the grey suede?

Use a suede-protectant spray before initial wear to repel water and dirt, and keep them stored out of direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Troubleshooting

Visible water or salt stains on suede

Allow the shoe to dry completely, then use a dry suede brush or eraser to gently lift the stain.

Slippage at the heel

Ensure the laces are snug; if slippage persists, consider a thicker sock or an auxiliary adhesive heel grip insert.

Reduced grip on outsole

Clean the waffle tread with warm water and a soft brush to remove pebbles or debris packed into the grooves.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vans Old Skool 36 trainers last, proper care is essential. Since the upper is crafted from suede, avoid machine washing, which can cause color bleeding and material stiffening. Instead, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a dedicated suede eraser for light scuffs. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather-safe cleaner specifically formulated for suede. Always air-dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can warp the rubber and dry out the suede. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing socks that match your typical usage, as the foam insole will eventually contour to your specific foot shape over time.
