Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK adult foot size. Vans Old Skool models generally fit true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary. Consider using thinner or thicker socks for minor adjustments.
Color transfer from camouflage to socks/pants
Due to the nature of dyed materials and strong prints, some color transfer can occur, especially when new or wet. Wear with darker socks initially and avoid exposure to heavy rain until the shoes have been worn a few times.
Laces are dirty or worn
The laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water. For worn-out laces, they can be easily replaced with standard Vans shoelaces or any comparable sneaker laces.
