FAQs
What materials are the Vans OTW Old Skool 36 Knot Vibram sneakers made of?
The uppers are constructed from heavyweight canvas and suede, with leather detailing for the knots and lining. The outsole is made of durable synthetic rubber by Vibram.
Are these shoes suitable for actual skateboarding?
While inspired by skate design and featuring a durable Vibram outsole for grip, the intricate knot detailing and premium materials suggest they are best suited for casual wear and light skating rather than intense skate sessions. For heavy skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the leather cord knots?
Gently wipe the leather knots with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the leather or untie the knots.
What is the benefit of the Vibram outsole?
Vibram outsoles are renowned for their durability, excellent traction, and grip on a wide variety of surfaces, providing reliable performance and stability.
Does the shoe come with a specific insole?
Yes, these sneakers feature an upgraded construction with a leather footbed and an Ortholite® insole, designed for enhanced cushioning and all-day comfort.
How does the sizing run for these shoes?
The sizing is provided in UK Men's adult foot sizes. It is recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede, leather, and knot detailing, and compromise the shoe's structure.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels stiff initially.
This is common with new leather and durable materials. Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in gradually. The leather lining and footbed will soften with use.
Knot detailing appears loose or damaged.
Avoid harsh scrubbing or pulling on the knots. If a knot has come undone, it may require professional re-lacing or careful manual re-threading if you are comfortable doing so. Consult a cobbler for repair if needed.
Squeaking noise from the sole.
Moisture trapped between layers or the outsole and the ground can cause squeaking. Ensure the soles are clean and dry. Sometimes, talcum powder can be applied sparingly under the insole if the noise originates from within the shoe.
Discoloration on the upper.
If the discoloration is due to dirt, try spot cleaning with a damp cloth and appropriate cleaner for suede and canvas. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors.
