FAQs
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the Vans Old Skool range is designed as unisex footwear for adults.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can cause the suede to shrink or discolour and may compromise the structural glue; hand cleaning is advised.
What is the primary material used?
These trainers are primarily constructed with premium suede for a durable and stylish finish.
How do I choose the right size?
This model follows standard UK sizing; if you typically wear a 7.5 UK, this size should provide a consistent fit.
What makes the SickStick sole special?
SickStick is a specialized gum rubber formula developed by Vans to provide the brand's grippiest traction to date.
Are these suitable for professional skateboarding?
Yes, features like Duracap underlays and the PopCush footbed are specifically engineered for the demands of skateboarding.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels too stiff initially
The PopCush material typically breaks in within 2-3 days of regular wear; try wearing them for shorter periods initially.
Suede looks matted or worn
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material by brushing in a single, consistent direction.
Dirt stuck in the waffle sole
Use a stiff plastic brush or a toothpick to carefully dislodge debris from the deeper lugs of the waffle tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Old Skool trainers last as long as possible, avoid machine washing them, as this can damage the suede texture and the adhesive. For minor dirt, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose debris. For more stubborn stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a suede eraser. It is recommended to apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before initial use to provide a protective barrier. Ensure the shoes are stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey colour from fading.
