FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for walking?

These Vans Old Skool Crib trainers are designed specifically for infants and are best suited for pre-walkers or those just beginning to stand and cruise. They offer comfort and style but do not provide the robust support needed for active walking.

How do I choose the right size for my baby?

It's best to measure your baby's foot length and compare it to the Vans infant size chart. Since infants grow quickly, consider checking their foot size regularly.

Can these trainers be worn outdoors?

While they can be worn outdoors, they are primarily designed for light use and keeping feet covered. The suede material and crib sole are not built for extensive outdoor play or wet conditions. Consider them more for gentle outings or stroller wear.

What is the outsole made of?

The outsole features a print that mimics the iconic Vans waffle sole design. For crib shoes, the outsole is typically soft and flexible, made from materials suitable for infants.

Are the laces adjustable?

No, the laces on the Vans Old Skool Crib trainers are elasticated and fixed. They are designed for easy slip-on access rather than adjustability.

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Please refer to the 'Care' section for instructions on how to clean the suede material properly.

Troubleshooting

Trainers seem too tight or too loose

Ensure you have the correct infant size. Crib shoes are generally soft and flexible, but sizing can vary. Measure your infant's foot and consult a Vans size guide if available. The elasticated laces are not adjustable.

Suede is getting dirty quickly

Regularly brush off dirt with a soft brush. For specific stains, use a suede cleaner designed for delicate materials. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessively dirty environments or prolonged outdoor play.

Difficulty getting the shoes on/off

Utilize the hook-and-loop closure and the heel pull tab for easier access. Ensure the infant's foot is relaxed. The elasticated laces provide some give but are fixed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

To put on the Vans Old Skool Crib Trainers, simply open the `hook-and-loop closure`, slide the infant's foot in, and secure the closure. The `elasticated laces` are fixed and do not require tying. The `heel pull` tab can assist in gently guiding the foot into the shoe.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for *infants* and are available in specific crib sizes (e.g., UK 1, 2, 3). They are unisex in design and suitable for both baby boys and girls. They are best for infants who are pre-walkers or just learning to stand/crawl, providing a soft, flexible cover for their feet rather than rigid support for active walking.

Care

  • Cleaning Suede: Gently brush off any loose dirt or debris using a soft brush. For light stains, lightly dampen a clean cloth with water and a tiny drop of mild soap (ensure it's safe for suede), and gently dab the affected area. Avoid saturating the suede. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
  • Avoiding Water: Suede is sensitive to water. Try to avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to prevent staining or damage.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Do NOT Machine Wash: Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede and the shoe's structure.
