FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, they feature reinforced toe caps and a grippy waffle outsole, making them suitable for casual skating.
Does the pearlised finish rub off easily?
The finish is integrated into the material design, but like any decorative coating, it should be treated with care to avoid harsh scraping.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
These trainers follow standard adult UK sizing. Measure your foot length and compare it to a standard size guide to confirm your fit.
Can I put these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the construction. Clean them by hand only.
Is the leather material genuine?
Yes, these trainers are crafted with a durable leather upper for long-lasting quality.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather; using shoe trees when not wearing the trainers can help maintain the shape.
Difficulty cleaning white leather
Use a specialized leather foam cleaner and a microfiber cloth rather than abrasive household detergents.
Stiff fit during first wear
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear the shoes for short intervals at home to soften the material gradually.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Old Skool Pearlised trainers last, it is important to follow proper care protocols.
- Cleaning: Use a leather-safe cleaning solution and a soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris from the white exterior. Avoid submerging the leather in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from discoloring or cracking over time.
- Compatibility: These shoes run true to standard adult UK sizing. If you prefer a looser fit for thicker socks, consider sizing up by a half size.
- Protection: Apply a leather protector spray before initial wear to help repel water and stains, which is especially important given the white colorway.
