How do I determine my size?
The Vans Skate Old Skool trainers generally follow standard UK sizing; choose the size you would typically wear in other similar canvas trainers.

It is not recommended to put them in the washing machine as this can damage the structural adhesives and materials.
What is the primary material used?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
This is normal for new skate shoes. Wear them indoors for short durations to allow the materials to soften naturally.
Surface dirt accumulating on the grey exterior
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt, or a slightly damp cloth for light spot cleaning.
Laces becoming loose during activity
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and tied with a double knot if extra security is needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Skate Old Skool trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Spot clean the canvas or suede areas with a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes fully to preserve the structural integrity of the adhesives.
- Drying: Air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the rubber and degrade materials.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to standard UK adult sizing, making them easy to match with your usual footwear selection.
