FAQs

Can I put my Vans Old Skool 36 in the washing machine?

No. Due to the wool-based material, machine washing can cause shrinking and permanent structural damage. Always hand clean with a soft brush.

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

While the wool provides some insulation, it is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent water saturation and potential staining.

How do these compare to regular canvas Old Skool shoes?

The Old Skool 36 features a more vintage-inspired shape with a shorter toe cap and utilizes a premium wool-blend upper rather than the standard canvas or suede.

Do I need to spray them with a protective coating?

A water and stain repellent spray designed specifically for wool or delicate fabrics can be used to add a layer of protection, but always test it on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Are they true to size?

Yes, they generally run true to standard UK sizing for adult footwear.

Troubleshooting

Wool upper has gathered lint or dust

Use a lint roller or a soft-bristled garment brush to gently lift debris from the fibers.

The trainers feel tight across the midfoot

Loosen the laces significantly before putting them on and allow a break-in period for the wool to naturally adapt to your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated and elevated material quality
  • Faithful recreation of original 1970s design aesthetics
  • Versatile blue checkered pattern suitable for casual and smart-casual looks
  • Robust construction for daily wear

Cons

  • Wool material requires more specialized cleaning than canvas
  • Less breathable than standard lightweight mesh trainers
  • Limited to specific seasonal weather due to wool composition

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK size, as the Old Skool 36 fits true to size. To maintain the wool upper, avoid machine washing, which can damage the fibers and alter the shape. Instead, spot clean with a soft brush or a dry cloth to remove loose dirt. If a deeper clean is required, use a specialized wool-safe detergent with a damp cloth, dabbing the surface gently rather than scrubbing. Always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from shrinking or becoming brittle.
