While the design is rooted in skate history, the premium wool construction is intended primarily for lifestyle and fashion-focused everyday use.
No. The dryer will likely shrink the wool and warp the rubber sole. Always air-dry.
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.
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.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the plaid pattern from fading over time.
Use a soft dry brush to gently sweep away particles without damaging the fabric fibers.
Use a specialized wool cleaning solution and a damp cloth; dab the area gently rather than scrubbing.
Always use shoe trees or stuff the toes with acid-free tissue paper when not in use to maintain the shorter toe cap structure.
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.
