FAQs

Are these shoes made for skateboarding?

While the design is rooted in skate history, the premium wool construction is intended primarily for lifestyle and fashion-focused everyday use.

Can I put these in the dryer?

No. The dryer will likely shrink the wool and warp the rubber sole. Always air-dry.

Does the wool material get too hot?

Wool is a natural fiber known for temperature regulation, but these shoes are warmer than traditional canvas Vans, making them best for mild to cool weather.

How do these fit compared to standard Old Skools?

They generally fit true to size, but the structural differences of the Style 36 design may feel slightly more snug in the toe box initially.

What is the best way to store them?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the plaid pattern from fading over time.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust or debris on the wool upper

Use a soft dry brush to gently sweep away particles without damaging the fabric fibers.

Stubborn stains on the fabric

Use a specialized wool cleaning solution and a damp cloth; dab the area gently rather than scrubbing.

Loss of shoe shape

Always use shoe trees or stuff the toes with acid-free tissue paper when not in use to maintain the shorter toe cap structure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated plaid design for a unique look
  • High-quality wool material feels premium and durable
  • Faithful recreation of the classic Style 36 shape
  • Comfortable for all-day casual wear
  • Refined edges and profile for a cleaner aesthetic

Cons

  • Wool material is less breathable than canvas
  • Requires specialized care for cleaning
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty wet weather conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers feature wool fabric, proper maintenance is essential to retain their appearance. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the wool fibers and the shoe's structure. Instead, spot clean with a soft-bristled brush or a slightly damp cloth using a mild detergent meant for wool. Ensure the shoes are air-dried in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent fading of the plaid pattern. Given their classic silhouette, these shoes pair exceptionally well with denim or chinos.
