FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for new walkers?

Yes, the Vans Old Skool V Toddler Trainers feature flexible rubber waffle soles that provide good support and grip, which can be beneficial for new walkers as they develop balance and coordination.

What materials are these trainers made from?

The upper is primarily made from suede, with other parts potentially using canvas and synthetic materials, and the sole is made of Vans' signature rubber waffle.

How do I choose the correct size for my toddler?

It's best to measure your toddler's foot and compare it to a Vans size chart. Remember to leave a little room for growth, but not so much that the shoe slips off. Toddlers' feet can grow quickly, so regular measurement is recommended.

Can these shoes be machine washed?

No, due to the suede material and construction, these trainers should not be machine washed. Machine washing can damage the suede and adhesives. Always follow the care instructions provided in the guide.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, these trainers are not waterproof. Suede is sensitive to water and can be damaged if exposed to excessive moisture. It's recommended to avoid wearing them in wet conditions and to apply a protective spray if desired.

How do I restore the nap of the suede?

After cleaning and drying, use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This helps to lift and restore the texture of the material.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too loose or too tight on my toddler's foot.

Adjust the rip-tape fastenings. Ensure they are snug but not constricting. If the issue persists, verify the shoe size against your child's current foot measurement; toddlers' feet grow quickly.

Suede material looks dirty or stained quickly.

Regularly brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the nap.

The rip-tape straps are not holding securely anymore.

Clean the hook-and-loop sections. Over time, lint, hair, and dirt can get embedded, reducing stickiness. Use a stiff brush or a fine-toothed comb to remove debris from both sides of the fasteners.

My toddler is constantly taking the shoes off.

Ensure the shoes are comfortable and not too tight. Check that socks aren't bunching up. Make sure the rip-tape is securely fastened, but not so tight it causes discomfort. Sometimes toddlers simply want their shoes off, so gentle redirection may be needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Convenient for Parents: Rip-tape fastenings make putting on and taking off shoes quick and easy, ideal for busy toddlers and caregivers.
  • Supportive for Toddlers: Rubber waffle soles offer good grip and flexibility, aiding in balance and natural foot movement.
  • Durable Construction: Built with Vans' quality standards and suede material for lasting wear.
  • Stylish Appearance: Maintains the iconic Vans Old Skool aesthetic in a toddler-friendly design.

Cons

  • Suede Care Required: The suede material can be prone to stains and requires specific cleaning and maintenance to keep it looking its best.
  • Rip-Tape Wear: While convenient, hook-and-loop fasteners may lose some effectiveness over extensive use compared to laces.
  • Limited Breathability: Suede material might offer less breathability compared to canvas-only options in very warm climates.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

There is no complex setup required for these trainers. Simply unfasten the rip-tape straps, slide your toddler's foot in, and secure the straps for a comfortable, snug fit. Ensure there's a small amount of wiggle room for toes, but not so much that the foot slides around.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: Designed specifically for toddlers. This particular model is a UK Size 5, suitable for young children learning to walk and explore.
  • Gender: Classified for Male toddlers, but their classic style is often chosen for any child.
  • Activities: Ideal for casual wear, walking, light running, and general play.

Care

Maintaining the suede on your Vans Old Skool V trainers is key to their longevity and appearance:

  1. Initial Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear to help repel water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: For light dirt and dust, use a soft suede brush to gently remove debris. Brush in one direction.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a damp cloth (not wet) with a small amount of mild suede cleaner or white vinegar. Blot the stain gently, do not rub aggressively, as this can spread the stain or damage the suede nap.
  4. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  5. Avoid Water Immersion: Suede is sensitive to water. Avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they get wet, blot excess water immediately and allow them to air dry.
  6. Rip-Tape Maintenance: Periodically clean any lint or debris from the hook-and-loop fasteners to ensure they remain sticky and secure.
