While the Old Skool has a heritage in skateboarding and features a durable sole, they are primarily marketed as lifestyle shoes. For intensive skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes with enhanced padding and grip might be more appropriate.

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, mix a small amount of mild soap with water and use a damp cloth or soft brush to gently clean the affected area. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

These shoes feature a combination of durable leather and canvas on the upper.

It is not recommended to machine wash Vans shoes, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and shape of the shoe.

The signature waffle outsole provides excellent grip and traction, a hallmark of Vans shoes, offering stability on various surfaces.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box can help protect them from dust and potential damage.

The materials used are not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions without additional protective treatments.

Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and mold to your feet. Thinner socks can also help. If the tightness is significant, consider if this is the correct size.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try inserting a talc-free powder or a small piece of paper inside the shoe where the squeak originates. Ensure the insole is properly seated.

Clean regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For scuffs, a magic eraser (used gently) might help on the rubber parts. Apply a protective spray designed for footwear to help prevent future marks and fading.
