FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday activities. They are not intended for high-impact sports.

What does LWG certification mean?

LWG (Leather Working Group) certification indicates that the leather used comes from tanneries that adhere to high environmental performance standards, covering aspects like energy use, water consumption, and waste management.

How do I determine the correct UK children's size?

Measure your child's foot from heel to the tip of the longest toe. Compare this measurement to the brand's size chart, paying close attention to the UK children's sizing. It's often recommended to add a small allowance for growth.

Can these trainers be washed in a machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, textile, and sole components of the trainers.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is primarily made from leather (80%), complemented by 20% textile for flexibility and design.

Are there other color options available for this model?

This specific product is in blue with a checkered pattern. Other colorways or similar models might be available under the Vans Old Skool V series.

What type of fastening do these trainers have?

These trainers feature a convenient touch 'n' close (Velcro) fastening system.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty with touch 'n' close fastening

Ensure the hook and loop straps are clean and free from debris. If the 'hook' side is worn, it may lose some sticking power over time.

Shoes appear dirty after wear

Gently wipe the leather and textile parts with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks on the rubber sole, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn. If the shoes are new, they may need a short break-in period. Wear with appropriate socks.

Color transfer from checkered pattern

While unlikely with proper care, avoid prolonged exposure to excessive moisture or friction with light-colored clothing or surfaces.

  • Durable construction suitable for active use.
  • Easy fastening system for independence.
  • Comfortable lining for extended wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box. They are compatible with a wide range of children's casual outfits. To care for your Vans Old Skool V Gum Check trainers, it is recommended to wipe the leather and textile uppers with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the materials and construction. Ensure the shoes are air-dried completely, away from direct heat, if they become wet. For the rubber sole and checkered pattern, gentle cleaning with a soft brush or cloth should suffice.
