FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Vans Old Skool 36 generally fits true to size, though the leather construction may feel more snug initially than canvas alternatives.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never machine wash leather footwear as it can damage the material and the integrity of the adhesive.
What is Sola Foam ADC?
Sola Foam ADC is a specialized cushioning technology used in modern Vans silhouettes to provide better impact protection and long-term comfort than the standard footbeds.
Is the leather waterproof?
While the leather is more water-resistant than canvas, it is not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy downpours to maintain the condition of the material.
Can I use standard shoe polish on these?
You can use a neutral leather conditioner or cream to keep the leather hydrated, but avoid heavy colored polishes unless you are matching the specific black tone.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or tight upon first wear
Wear the shoes indoors for short periods with medium-thickness socks to allow the leather to naturally mold to your foot shape.
Studded details catching on clothing
Ensure pants have a hem that sits above the studded section or cuff them to prevent snagging.
Outsole losing its grip
Use a soft brush and warm soapy water to clean the waffle tread, as debris can settle into the grooves and reduce traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers maintain their look, use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the leather after each wear. If the leather becomes heavily soiled, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap; avoid soaking the material, as this can degrade the hide. Because these shoes are made of premium leather, they may feel stiff initially; we recommend wearing them with thick socks for the first few outings to facilitate the break-in process. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading.
