Vans Knu Skool - Green - UK 8

For the leather upper, wipe with a damp cloth or use a specialized leather cleaner. For the rubber sole, scrub with warm, soapy water and a brush. Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat.

Yes, they are inspired by classic Vans skate shoes and feature durable leather construction, a secure fit, and a grippy waffle tread sole, making them suitable for casual skateboarding use and offering good board feel.

The Knu Skool style is a modern reinterpretation of 90s skate shoes, characterized by its oversized, puffed-up tongue, chunky laces, and 3D-molded Sidestripe, offering a bold and padded silhouette.

Vans generally run true to size. However, due to the significant padding in the tongue and ankle of the Knu Skool, they may feel snug initially. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up, or consult Vans' official size guide.

The trainers feature a durable leather upper, a 100% textile lining for comfort, and a 100% rubber sole with the iconic waffle tread pattern.

Yes, the Knu Skool series is available in a variety of colorways beyond this Green variant, including Black White, Blue, White Black, and Beige. Check product listings for specific availability.

Ensure you have the correct size. The Knu Skool features significant padding; adjust your lacing to a looser setting initially. Wear them for short periods to break them in, allowing the materials to conform to your foot.

Check the waffle tread sole for dirt, mud, or small stones lodged within the pattern. Clean the sole thoroughly with a stiff brush and soapy water to restore optimal traction. Avoid walking on excessively smooth or oily surfaces if grip is a concern.

For light marks, gently wipe with a damp cloth. For more persistent scuffs or dirt, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear, following the product's instructions. Apply carefully and buff with a clean, dry cloth.

This can sometimes be caused by air trapped between the insole and the sole, or friction from a new material. Try removing and reinserting the insole. If the noise persists, ensure your socks are not causing excess friction, or try a small amount of baby powder under the insole.

Ensure you are using a double knot for security, especially with the chunky laces. You can also experiment with different lacing techniques that provide a tighter hold. Replacing worn laces might also resolve the issue.
