FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
Yes, they are designed with classic skate features including the waffle sole, though they are categorized as casual lifestyle trainers as well.
How do I determine the right size?
Vans typically fit true to size. If you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up by a half size.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash Vans, as the agitation and heat can damage the construction and cause the colors to bleed.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of durable canvas and suede panels for a mix of breathability and structure.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
They feature a standard flat footbed. If you require high arch support, it is recommended to add a third-party insole.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets and adjust the tongue positioning to relieve pressure.
Rubber sole edges losing their bright finish
Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a magic eraser to gently scrub the white side-wall of the sole to restore its appearance.
Excessive heel slippage while walking
Ensure the shoes are tied securely and consider using a slightly thicker sock to fill the internal volume.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper care for your Vans Old Skool trainers will significantly extend their lifespan. Out of the box, ensure you lace the shoes to your preferred tension to accommodate your arch height.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the canvas and suede panels.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution; avoid soaking the shoes as this can weaken the adhesive bonds.
- Drying: Always air dry the trainers in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can warp the rubber and cause the fabric to fade or shrink.
- Protection: Consider applying a water-resistant spray for suede and canvas to help prevent surface stains.
