FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
Yes, they feature the classic Old Skool construction designed for durability and grip on the board.
Do these sneakers run true to size?
Vans Old Skool models generally run true to size, but standard UK sizing should be measured against your usual fit.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is preferred to protect the materials.
Are they water-resistant?
While the rubber sole provides some barrier, the canvas upper is not waterproof. Consider a protective spray.
Is this a limited edition product?
This is part of the SpongeBob SquarePants x Vans collaboration series, which features limited-run graphic designs.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty maintaining cleanliness on the canvas upper
Apply a water-repellent spray designed for canvas footwear before initial use to help repel stains.
Laces becoming loose during intense activity
Ensure a double-knot is used or consider swapping to high-friction performance laces if performing high-impact sports.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans sneakers last, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources. Since these are low-top trainers, they are best paired with no-show or low-cut socks to maintain the intended silhouette. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the rubber outsoles. If the canvas upper becomes soiled, use a mild soap and a damp cloth to spot clean. Avoid machine washing, as the agitation can compromise the structure of the shoe and the vibrancy of the graphics.
