FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
While they feature a durable Vibram® outsole and classic Vans construction, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light skateboarding. For intense professional use, dedicated skate shoes with more robust protection might be preferable.
How do I clean the leather knot details?
Gently wipe the leather knots with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather. A mild leather conditioner can be applied sparingly if they appear dry.
What is the main benefit of the Vibram® outsole?
The Vibram® outsole is renowned for its superior durability, traction, and grip on a wide variety of surfaces, providing confidence and stability whether you're walking or skating.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, especially the suede, leather, and adhesives, and compromise the shoe's structure and appearance.
What is the advantage of the upgraded interior construction?
The upgraded interior features a leather footbed combined with cushioning, designed to offer enhanced comfort and support for all-day wear.
How do the Old Skool 36 Knot Vibram differ from standard Old Skools?
The key differences are the addition of decorative leather cord knots, the use of a premium Vibram® outsole for superior grip, and an upgraded interior with a leather footbed and enhanced cushioning.
What material is the upper primarily made of?
The upper is constructed from heavyweight canvas, complemented by suede and leather overlays for durability and detailed aesthetics.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on outsole
Clean the Vibram® outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, mud, or debris that may be lodged in the tread pattern.
Suede looking dull or stained
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be necessary, always follow product instructions.
Leather knots losing shape or showing wear
Gently wipe the knots with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid excessive pressure or abrasive cleaning materials. Consider applying a leather conditioner periodically if wear is significant.
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure the correct size is being worn. The Ortholite® insole provides cushioning, but breaking in the shoes might take a few wears. Consider trying thicker or thinner socks if needed.
