FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the wool upper and the shoe's structure. Always use hand-cleaning methods.
How does the fit compare to standard Vans?
The Old Skool 36 has a slightly different profile due to the shorter toe cap, but they generally fit true to standard UK shoe sizing.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The wool material is not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to keep the shoes in optimal condition.
What is the primary difference between the 36 and the standard Old Skool?
The 36 series specifically replicates the original design cues of the first model, including a sharper edge and a shorter, more vintage-accurate toe cap.
Is the sole flexible?
Yes, the vulcanized rubber sole offers a balance of flexibility for natural foot movement and durability for daily wear.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or lint on the wool surface
Use a garment lint roller or a soft-bristle brush to gently lift debris away from the wool fibers.
Slight discomfort during break-in period
Wear the trainers for short durations during the first week to allow the wool and internal padding to conform to your foot shape.
Stains on the fabric
Spot clean immediately using a damp cloth and a very small amount of mild wool-safe detergent, dabbing rather than rubbing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers arrive ready to wear straight from the box with no complex setup required. They fit true to size, but users should verify their UK sizing to ensure the best fit before first use. To maintain the wool material, avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. Instead, gently brush off surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. If deeper cleaning is necessary, use a specialized wool cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap, then allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material shrinkage or damage.
