FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While they feature modern comfort updates, they are primarily lifestyle trainers and are best suited for light-to-moderate walking rather than long-distance hiking.
How do I choose the correct UK size?
The Vans Old Skool 36 typically runs true to size. We recommend selecting your standard UK shoe size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash these trainers in a machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the materials and adhesive components.
What is the difference between these and standard Old Skool trainers?
The Premium Old Skool 36 features a specific design inspired by the original Style 36, characterized by a shorter toe cap, sharper edge styling, and upgraded materials.
Are these unisex?
Yes, this model is designed to be suitable for all genders, fitting standard adult sizing profiles.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather or fabric maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Stains on premium upper materials
Address stains immediately using a specialized cleaner designed for your specific material type; test on an inconspicuous area first.
Heel slippage
Ensure the laces are securely tightened through the top eyelet or consider adding a thin, supportive insole if the fit is slightly loose.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Old Skool 36 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: These shoes fit standard adult UK sizing. Ensure you verify your size before use to prevent unnecessary wear on the heel counter.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For spot cleaning, apply a mild soap solution with a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water as this may damage the premium materials.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for high-quality footwear to protect against environmental elements.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent color fading and material degradation.
