Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather Vans Knu Skool shoes:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust after each use.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather): For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently rub the affected area. Follow the cleaner's instructions for best results. Do not saturate the leather.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a stiff brush or old toothbrush with mild soap and water to clean the rubber foxing tape and outsole.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff them with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
