FAQs

Are these Vans Old Skool trainers suitable for skateboarding?

Yes, the Vans Old Skool design originated as a skateboarding shoe. They are built with durable suede and canvas uppers and a sturdy rubber waffle sole that provides excellent grip, making them well-suited for skateboarding.

What materials are these trainers made from?

The uppers are made from 50% suede and 50% textile (canvas). The lining and cushioning are 100% textile, and the sole is 100% rubber.

How do I clean my Vans Old Skool trainers?

For general cleaning, use a soft brush or damp cloth. For suede areas, use a dedicated suede brush and cleaner. For canvas, a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush can be used. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What age group are these trainers for?

These Vans Old Skool Trainers are specifically designed and sized for the 'juniors' or 'kids' age group.

Are these trainers comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, with their textile lining and cushioning, Vans Old Skool trainers are designed for comfortable everyday wear, whether for school, casual outings, or active play.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While durable, the suede and canvas materials are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid heavy rain or puddles to prevent material damage and keep your feet dry. You can apply a water-repellent spray for added protection.

Troubleshooting

Laces frequently come undone

Ensure you are using a secure lacing technique. A double knot can help keep laces tied during active use. You may also try different lacing patterns for a tighter grip.

Shoes look dirty or scuffed easily

The suede and canvas materials are prone to showing dirt. Regularly clean your trainers using appropriate cleaning methods for suede and canvas. For suede, use a suede brush and cleaner. For canvas, a mild soap and water solution can be effective. Consider applying a protective spray.

Material feels stiff or uncomfortable initially

Like most new shoes, your Vans Old Skool Trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless Style: The Old Skool design is iconic and remains fashionable across generations and trends.
  • Built for Durability: Suede and canvas materials are chosen for their robustness, making them suitable for active kids.
  • Versatile Use: Perfect for casual wear, school, skateboarding, and general street style.
  • Comfortable Fit: Designed for everyday comfort with textile lining and cushioning.

Cons

  • Material Care: Suede and canvas require specific cleaning and protection to maintain their appearance, especially in dirty or wet conditions.
  • Limited Arch Support: As a traditional skate shoe, the flat sole may not offer extensive arch support for all users.
  • Not Waterproof: The materials are not inherently water-resistant, making them less ideal for rainy weather without additional treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your Vans Old Skool Trainers is straightforward. Simply unbox, lace them up to your desired tightness, and you're ready to go. The traditional lace-up closure allows for a customizable fit.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for juniors, falling into the 'kids' age group, with this specific variant being a UK size 12. They are a unisex style, suitable for both boys and girls. Their classic black and white aesthetic makes them highly compatible with a wide range of outfits, from casual jeans and shorts to more activewear.

Care

To ensure your Vans Old Skool Trainers last and maintain their iconic look, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away debris.
  2. Suede Care: For suede areas, use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  3. Canvas Care: For canvas parts, a mild soap and water solution can be used with a soft brush. Gently scrub the affected areas.
  4. Air Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, to prevent material damage or warping.
  5. Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and canvas to help protect against elements and prolong the life of your trainers.
  6. Regular Maintenance: Wipe down your trainers regularly after use, especially if worn in dusty or dirty environments, to prevent dirt buildup.
