FAQs

Are these shoes good for actual skateboarding?

Yes, the Vans Old Skool 36 Knot Vibram Sneakers are designed with a durable suede and canvas upper, a cushioned interior, and a high-traction Vibram® outsole, making them suitable for skateboarding.

How do I clean the leather knot details?

Gently wipe the leather knots with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the leather.

What is the main difference from standard Old Skool models?

The main differences are the integrated Vibram® outsole for enhanced grip and durability, and the unique handcrafted leather knot detailing on the upper.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes are not fully waterproof. While the suede and canvas offer some resistance, prolonged exposure to water can damage the materials. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What material is the footbed made of?

The footbed is made of leather, combined with cushioning for all-day comfort and support.

What is the best way to maintain the suede?

Regularly brush the suede with a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner. Protecting the suede with a water and stain repellent spray designed for footwear can also help.

What UK size is the product listed as?

The product listed is a UK size 11.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new leather components. Try wearing the shoes for a few days to break them in. If the issue persists, check if the insole is properly seated or consider a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.

Stiffness in the suede or leather

Suede and leather can feel stiff initially. Wear the shoes for short periods to gradually break them in. Applying a suede conditioner (for suede parts) or leather conditioner (for knots and stripe accents) can help soften the material.

Reduced grip on certain surfaces

Ensure the Vibram® outsole is clean. Dirt or debris can accumulate in the tread, reducing its effectiveness. Clean the outsole with water and a brush.

Discoloration of the suede

Suede can be sensitive to water and sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and wet conditions. If discoloration occurs, try a specialized suede cleaner and protectant.
