FAQs

What is the main difference in this 'Over Trainers' version?
This version features updated quilted side panels and a thicker platform sole compared to the classic Old Skool design.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Old Skool fit is generally considered standard. If you have wider feet, trying them on first or considering sizing up might be beneficial.
How should I store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
What is the sole made of?
The sole is made of durable rubber with Vans' signature waffle pattern for traction.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
Are there other color options available?
This specific model is in Grey and White. Other Vans Old Skool models come in a variety of colors.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Allow to air dry completely.
Shoes feel slightly stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to break them in. The suede and platform sole will gradually conform to your foot shape.
Traction seems reduced
Ensure the waffle sole is clean and free from debris. A quick wipe with a damp cloth can often restore grip.
Color transfer from suede
This can happen with new suede. Allow the shoes to air out and consider using a suede protector spray to minimize color bleeding.
