FAQs

What age group are these Vans Old Skool shoes designed for?

These shoes are specifically designed for toddlers, providing a comfortable and secure fit for their growing feet.

How do the double hook and loop closures work?

The double hook and loop closures replace traditional laces, allowing for quick and easy adjustment. Simply open the straps, slide the foot in, and press the straps down to secure a snug fit.

Can these shoes be washed in a washing machine?

No, these shoes are not recommended for machine washing. The suede and canvas materials should be spot cleaned by hand to maintain their quality and appearance.

How do I clean the suede material?

To clean the suede, first let any dirt dry, then gently brush it off with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid getting the suede too wet.

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

While durable, the suede components of these shoes are not ideal for heavy wet weather. Prolonged exposure to rain or puddles can damage the suede. It's best to wear them in dry conditions.

What size is this specific product?

This specific pair of Vans Old Skool shoes is UK Toddler Size 9.

Are these shoes comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, these shoes are designed with toddler comfort in mind, featuring a low-top style and secure fit to support all-day play and activity.

Troubleshooting

Shoes are difficult to put on or take off.

Ensure both hook and loop straps are fully opened before attempting to put the shoe on or take it off. Check for any debris or lint caught in the hook and loop material that might prevent smooth operation.

Suede appears dirty or scuffed.

For light dirt, use a soft suede brush to gently remove debris. For deeper stains, use a reputable suede cleaner and follow its specific instructions. Avoid using water directly on suede.

Canvas parts look stained.

Spot clean the canvas areas with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently rub the stained area and wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.

Hook and loop straps are not holding securely.

Check for lint, hair, or other debris caught in the 'hook' side of the closure. Use a stiff brush or tweezers to carefully remove any obstructions to restore grip.

Care Instructions

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your toddler's Vans shoes:

  • General Cleaning: For minor dirt on the canvas, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. Gently scrub the affected area and wipe clean.
  • Suede Care:
  1. Allow any mud or dirt on the suede to dry completely.
  2. Use a suede brush to gently brush away dried dirt in one direction.
  3. For stubborn marks, a specialized suede cleaner can be applied sparingly according to the product's instructions.
  4. Avoid harsh scrubbing or using excessive water on suede, as this can damage the material.
  • Strap Care: Keep the hook and loop closures free of lint and debris to ensure they maintain their strong grip.
  • Drying: Air dry shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Never put them in a washing machine or dryer.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
