FAQs
Are these suitable for professional skateboarding?
While designed with skate heritage, they are best suited for casual wear and light recreational skateboarding due to their cushioning and construction.
How do I clean the black and white sections?
For the suede, use a suede brush and avoid water. For the canvas and rubber sole, a damp cloth with mild soap is generally effective. Always air dry.
What is the main difference between Knu Skool and other Vans models?
The Knu Skool often features a chunkier silhouette and a more padded collar compared to classic Vans models, offering enhanced comfort and a distinct look.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as it can damage the material and reduce its lifespan. Consider treating them with a water-repellent spray for minimal protection.
What size should I get if I'm between sizes?
Given that fit can vary, it's advisable to check the Vans size chart or try them on if possible. Some users find Vans run slightly large or narrow, so personal preference plays a role.
How do I maintain the white sole?
The white sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning agent. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot.
Suede getting wet
Allow shoes to air dry naturally. Avoid using direct heat. Consider applying a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be affecting grip.

Ensure laces are threaded through eyelets correctly and tied with a firm knot. Check for wear on the laces themselves.
