FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the Knu Skool design?
The Knu Skool design is inspired by a classic 90s skate style, reinterpreted with modern trends, featuring a puffed-up tongue and a dramatic, chunky profile.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Knu Skool has a chunky profile which can accommodate different foot shapes, but specific width fittings are not detailed. The elastic laces allow for some adjustment.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoes?
Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a damp cloth with a very mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by air drying. Avoid saturating the suede.
What age group are these shoes intended for?
These specific Knu Skool trainers are designed for toddlers, with available sizes ranging from 3.5 toddler up to 9.5 toddler.
Can the elastic laces be replaced with regular laces?
While the shoes come with elastic laces for ease of use, it may be possible to replace them with traditional Vans laces if a different fit is preferred, though this is not a standard feature.
Are these waterproof?
The Knu Skool features a canvas and suede upper, which are not inherently waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
What is the benefit of the padded ankle collar?
The thick, spongy padding around the ankle collar provides extra comfort and a secure, snug fit, helping to prevent rubbing and offering support for young children's feet.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to put on.
Gently loosen the elastic laces and ensure the tongue is pulled forward. Use the heel pull loop to assist in sliding the shoe onto the foot. Check that the correct size has been selected.
Toddler complains about discomfort.
Ensure the shoes are not tied too tightly. Check for any debris inside the shoe. The padded collar should provide comfort, but if irritation persists, consider alternate footwear for very sensitive feet.
Scuffs or dirt on the canvas and suede.
Spot clean the affected areas with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For suede, use a specialized suede brush. For stubborn marks, a soft-bristled brush may help. Always allow to air dry.
Outsole losing grip.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of excessive dirt or debris, which can affect traction. Regular cleaning can help maintain grip.
