Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Vans Old Skool trainers in top condition, start by applying a suede and canvas water-repellent spray before the first wear. This creates a barrier against dirt and moisture. When cleaning, avoid machine washing as this can damage the structural integrity of the shoe. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt from the suede panels and a damp cloth with mild soap for the canvas and white midsole. Ensure they are air-dried in a shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or color fading. Always check your specific UK sizing to ensure the optimal fit for your foot shape.
