Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
Getting started with your Vans Old Skool Trainers is simple:
- Unfasten Straps: Fully open both riptape straps on the top of the shoe.
- Insert Foot: Slide your child's foot into the trainer, ensuring their heel is comfortably seated at the back.
- Secure Straps: Fasten the bottom strap first, then the top strap, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. The straps should be secure but not overtight, allowing for natural foot movement.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Vans Old Skool Trainers:
- General Cleaning: For minor dirt and dust, use a soft brush or dry cloth.
- Suede Care: For suede sections, gently brush with a suede brush to remove dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Canvas Care: For canvas areas, gently wipe with a damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted in water). Do not saturate the material.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the shoe's structure and materials.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray designed for suede and canvas to help repel water and stains.
