FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

While the Vibram sole offers good grip, the Old Skool 36 Knot Vibram is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker with enhanced durability. For intense professional skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes might offer more specialized features.

How do I clean the leather cord knots?

Gently wipe the leather knots with a slightly damp cloth. For any staining, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather. Avoid soaking the knots or the surrounding materials.

What is the benefit of the Vibram outsole?

The Vibram outsole provides superior traction, durability, and grip on a wide range of surfaces compared to standard rubber soles, enhancing stability and wear-resistance.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The suede and canvas upper is not waterproof. While the Vibram sole offers good grip on wet surfaces, the shoe material can be damaged by excessive moisture. Using a suede protector spray is recommended for water resistance.

What makes the 'Knot Vibram' version different from standard Old Skools?

The 'Knot Vibram' version features unique decorative leather cord knots on the upper and a custom Vibram outsole for enhanced grip and durability, alongside premium interior cushioning.

What is the OrthoLite® insole for?

The OrthoLite® insole provides long-term cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, contributing to overall comfort during wear.

How should I care for the suede material?

Regularly brush suede with a soft brush to remove dust. Use a suede eraser for small marks and a suede cleaner for tougher stains. Avoid water and protect with a suede spray.

Troubleshooting

Laces become dirty or worn

Replace laces with standard Vans laces or similar style. Clean existing laces with mild soap and water.

Suede appears matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the Vibram® outsole is clean. While designed for grip, extremely polished surfaces may still offer less traction.

Leather knots are stiff or discolored

Gently condition the leather knots with a leather conditioner. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if discolored.
