FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for actual skateboarding?

While inspired by skate culture and featuring a durable design with excellent grip, these shoes are primarily designed as a stylish casual wear option. For rigorous skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes might offer more specialized protection and board feel.

How do I clean the leather cord knots?

Gently wipe the leather cord knots with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture to preserve the leather.

What is the benefit of the Vibram outsole?

The Vibram outsole is known for its exceptional durability and superior grip, providing confidence and stability on a wide range of surfaces.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the suede and leather offer some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Using a suede protector spray can offer some resistance to light moisture.

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

This model features unique round leather cord knot detailing, an upgraded leather footbed with cushioning, and a custom Vibram outsole for enhanced grip and durability, differentiating it from the standard Old Skool models.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the size chart provided by Vans. These shoes are designed with a standard width, and the leather lining can help the shoe conform to your foot over time.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a mixture of mild soap and water, applying sparingly and allowing to dry fully.

Reduced grip on the outsole

Clean the Vibram outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be impeding traction.

Leather knot detailing looks worn

Gently wipe the leather knots with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaning agents that could damage the leather finish.

Shoe feels stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. The leather and suede will naturally soften with use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
