FAQs
What is the primary material of the Vans Old Skool 36?
The primary materials are suede and canvas for the upper, with a vulcanized rubber midsole and waffle rubber sole.
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
While inspired by skate shoes, the 'Premium' and 'Pearlized' details suggest these are more suited for casual wear rather than rigorous skateboarding, which can cause significant wear.
How do I clean the red suede without causing color bleed?
Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For damp cleaning, use a very lightly dampened cloth and blot, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
What does 'Old Skool 36' signify?
'Old Skool' refers to the classic Vans aesthetic, and '36' denotes the specific model lineage which evolved from the original Style 36.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as it can damage the material and potentially cause color transfer.
What is the difference between this and the original Old Skool?
This 'Premium' version of the Old Skool 36 features elevated materials like suede and pearlized detailing, offering a more refined aesthetic compared to standard canvas models.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser.
Laces are worn or damaged
Replace laces with standard shoe laces. Ensure the new laces are of appropriate length for low-top sneakers.
Soles are losing grip
Clean the waffle sole thoroughly with a brush and mild soap to remove embedded debris. If grip is significantly compromised, it may indicate wear and tear of the rubber.
Shoe shape is lost after getting wet
Stuff the shoes with newspaper or shoe trees and allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid using heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
