Product Information

Full details

The Vans Old Skool V trainers are designed for active children who need a reliable, stylish, and easy-to-wear shoe for daily adventures. Featuring a durable leather construction and iconic animal print, these trainers offer significant convenience for both kids and parents due to their touch 'n' close fastenings. While they provide excellent comfort and grip for playground activities, the leather material requires consistent care to maintain its appearance and longevity compared to canvas alternatives.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Old Skool V model has a fairly standard width, but the adjustable straps allow for a more customizable fit compared to traditional laced sneakers.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash leather Vans as it can damage the material and weaken the adhesive used on the rubber soles.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Check for a comfortable gap at the toe and ensure the heel doesn't slip when walking. Refer to UK sizing standards as listed on the box.

Is the animal print durable?

Yes, the print is integrated into the design to withstand typical childhood activity, though excessive scraping against rough concrete may show wear over time.

Are these shoes water-resistant?

While the leather upper provides better protection against light splashes than canvas, they are not fully waterproof and should be dried naturally if they get soaked.

Troubleshooting

Fastening straps no longer stick firmly

Use a pair of tweezers or a fine comb to remove lint, hair, and debris trapped in the hook-and-loop fabric.

Scuff marks on the leather surface

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a shoe polish matching the black color to buff out minor surface scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vans Old Skool V trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the toes to allow for natural foot growth.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove mud or dust. For tougher stains, use a mild leather-safe cleaner.
  3. Storage: Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or the glue in the rubber soles to degrade.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically check the touch 'n' close fastenings for lint or debris build-up to ensure they remain secure.
