FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

While designed with skate inspiration and featuring a durable Vibram sole for good grip, they are best suited for casual skateboarding or everyday wear rather than intense professional use. For professional needs, consider models specifically engineered for high-impact skateboarding.

How do I clean the leather knot details?

Gently wipe the leather knots with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents, as these can damage the leather.

What is the main advantage of the Vibram outsole?

The Vibram® outsole is renowned for its exceptional durability, superior grip, and reliable traction on various surfaces, offering increased stability and confidence with every step.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

This specific guide focuses on the Royal Cobalt blue variant. Please check product listings for availability of other colors or styles within the Vans Old Skool 36 Knot Vibram collection.

How does the sizing compare to other Vans models?

Vans Old Skool models generally offer a consistent fit. However, individual fit can vary. It is recommended to refer to the Vans size chart and consider trying them on if possible.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The Vibram sole provides good grip, but the suede and canvas upper is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended and may require treatment with a water-repellent spray for suede.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Ensure the insole is properly seated. If the noise persists, try a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.

Discomfort or rubbing on heel/toe

Wear thicker socks or use heel grips/cushioning inserts. Allow the shoes a break-in period by wearing them for short durations initially.

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Protect with a suede protector spray.
