Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Simply lace up the trainers to achieve a snug and comfortable fit. Adjust the laces to your child's foot shape, ensuring they are secure but not too tight.
Compatibility:
These Vans Old Skool trainers are designed for children (kids' UK size 10) and are unisex, making them suitable for both boys and girls. They complement a wide range of casual attire, from jeans and shorts to skirts and dresses, and are appropriate for various recreational activities.
Care Instructions:
Proper care is essential to extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Vans Old Skool trainers, particularly due to the suede and canvas materials.
- Spot Cleaning: For light dirt and smudges, use a soft brush or a clean, damp cloth.
- Suede Care: For suede areas, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner specifically designed for footwear can be applied. Always brush the suede in one direction to maintain its nap.
- Canvas Care: For canvas areas, a mild soap solution (like dish soap diluted in water) can be used with a soft brush or cloth. Gently scrub the affected area.
- Cleaning the Side Stripe: The iconic white rubber side stripe can be cleaned with a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth to remove scuffs and dirt.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources. Do not tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can cause damage to the shoe's structure, materials, and color.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both suede and canvas to add an extra layer of protection against the elements and spills.
