FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?

While based on skate heritage, the wool material is less durable against abrasive grip tape than standard suede or canvas models.

How should I clean the wool material?

Spot clean gently with a soft brush and a dedicated wool cleaner. Never machine wash or tumble dry.

Are these true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions for adult footwear.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.

Does the wool fabric keep feet warm?

Wool provides natural thermal properties, making these slightly warmer than standard canvas trainers.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty cleaning the wool upper

Use a specialized wool-safe cleaner and a soft-bristled brush; avoid soaking the shoe entirely.

Laces coming untied frequently

Ensure the laces are threaded tightly through the eyelets and consider using a double knot for a more secure fit.

Heel slipping while walking

Re-lace the trainers using the top eyelet to create a 'heel lock' tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Vans Old Skool 36 trainers last, begin by ensuring you have the correct UK size, as the fit is precise. Because these shoes are constructed from wool, it is crucial to avoid submerging them in water or using harsh laundry detergents. Instead, spot clean any dirt using a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth with a mild cleaner designed for wool. Allow them to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which could warp the rubber or shrink the fabric.
