Product Information

Full details

The Vans Premium Old Skool 36 is designed for fashion-conscious adults who appreciate a blend of traditional craftsmanship and alternative aesthetic details. Featuring a sophisticated hand-woven Harris Tweed upper and unique jewelry-inspired embellishments, these trainers offer a premium, textured look that elevates the classic Old Skool silhouette. While the shoe provides excellent style and durability with its signature distressed rubber sole, users should note that the wool material requires more careful maintenance than standard canvas versions to preserve its texture.

FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing will likely damage the Harris Tweed wool and may degrade the glue on the rubber soles. Spot clean only.

What is the primary difference between this and the standard Old Skool?

The 36 series features a shorter toe cap and sharper edges compared to the standard modern Old Skool, staying true to the vintage Style 36.

How should I store these trainers?

Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the wool colors from fading over time.

Is the sole really meant to look distressed?

Yes, the distressed rubber sole is a specific aesthetic choice intended to give the shoe a lived-in, vintage appearance from the start.

Does the wool material stretch?

While natural fibers like wool can have a slight give, these shoes are designed to hold their shape; purchase your regular size for the best fit.

Can these be worn in rainy weather?

Wool is naturally water-resistant to a point, but we recommend avoiding heavy rain to keep the material looking its best.

Troubleshooting

Dirt stuck in the weave of the wool

Use a soft-bristled garment brush to gently dislodge debris from the Harris Tweed texture.

Rubber sole looking too worn

Clean the edges of the rubber sole with a mild soap and a damp sponge; keep in mind the distressed finish is intentional.

Tight fit around the instep

Loosen the lacing system completely and re-lace with less tension to accommodate a higher arch.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable hand-woven Harris Tweed material
  • Unique design elements like jewelry-inspired accents
  • Faithful recreation of the retro Style 36 silhouette
  • Provides a sophisticated and premium aesthetic
  • Robust construction suitable for regular wear

Cons

  • Wool upper is more susceptible to staining than canvas
  • Requires specialized cleaning due to textile construction
  • Distressed sole aesthetic may not suit all style preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the initial setup, ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the eyelets to achieve your desired tension. These shoes run true to standard adult sizing, though the wool construction may feel slightly more structured than synthetic alternatives. To maintain the integrity of the Harris Tweed, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the rubber sole from warping or the wool from shrinking.
