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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The OrthoLite® insole provides long-term cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, contributing to overall comfort during wear.
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.
Replace laces with standard Vans laces or similar style. Clean existing laces with mild soap and water.
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn dirt, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner.
Ensure the Vibram® outsole is clean. While designed for grip, extremely polished surfaces may still offer less traction.
Gently condition the leather knots with a leather conditioner. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if discolored.
These sneakers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Compatibility is broad, fitting seamlessly with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, and casual trousers.
