FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

While designed with skateboarders in mind and featuring durable construction and good grip, they are best suited for recreational skateboarding and streetwear enthusiasts. For professional, high-impact skateboarding, more specialized skate shoes might offer additional protective features.

How do I clean the pearlized finish?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch or dull the finish. Always air dry.

What makes the 'Pearlized Pack' different from standard Old Skool models?

The 'Pearlized Pack' features a subtle pearlescent sheen on the upper material, giving it a more refined and eye-catching look compared to the standard matte textile or canvas finishes.

What is the recommended UK size if I usually wear US size 9?

Vans sizing can vary, but typically a US Men's 9 corresponds to a UK Men's 8. However, it is always recommended to check the specific size chart provided by Vans or the retailer for the most accurate conversion.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

The textile upper is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain or wet surfaces is not recommended and may affect the material and finish. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is made of textile material with a special pearlized finish.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction.

Pearlized finish appears dull or scuffed

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For scuffs, a specialized shoe eraser or a very fine grit sandpaper (used with extreme caution) might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces are difficult to keep tied

Ensure laces are new or not excessively worn. Consider using a double knot or replacing them with wax-coated laces for better grip.

Uncomfortable after initial wear

The shoes may need a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Care Instructions

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Vans Old Skool 36 Pearlized Pack "Brown", follow these care tips:

Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth, then wipe clean with fresh water.
Pearlized Finish Care: Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the subtle sheen. Spot clean small marks carefully.
Laces: Remove laces for cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry.
Soles: Use a damp cloth or a brush to clean the rubber soles. For tougher dirt, a specialized shoe cleaner can be used.
