FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
While the Old Skool was originally designed for skating, the leather construction provides durability for daily lifestyle use as well.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing for adults. If you are between sizes, consider the fit of your previous Vans footwear.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is recommended to clean these leather shoes by hand to prevent damaging the material and the adhesive bonds.
Does the blue color fade?
Like any dyed leather, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Using a leather conditioner with UV protection can help.
Are they waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant to an extent, but the shoes are not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather will stretch slightly with wear. Try wearing them with thin socks for the first few sessions to allow the material to flex.
Leather surface shows scuff marks
Use a leather eraser or a soft cloth with a mild leather conditioner to buff out superficial scuffs.
Outsole loses traction
Clean the rubber sole with a brush and soapy water to remove accumulated debris that can cause slipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Old Skool sneakers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the shoes for short intervals initially to allow the leather to soften.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid submerging leather shoes in water.
- Protection: Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray to extend the life of the finish.
- Storage: Keep shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to dry out or fade over time.
- Sizing: Ensure you are selecting your standard UK size, as the leather material provides a consistent fit once properly broken in.
