Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Vans Old Skool trainers, ensure the fit is snug but comfortable; suede tends to have a slight natural stretch over time. To maintain the appearance of your trainers, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt after each use. Avoid machine washing, as water and detergent can damage the suede texture and adhesive bonds. If you encounter a stain, use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser to spot-treat the area. For maximum longevity, consider applying a suede-safe water repellent spray before your first wear to provide a protective barrier against minor spills.
