FAQs
Can I skate in these shoes?
While they are built on the classic Old Skool chassis, the addition of the bejeweled buckle makes them better suited for lifestyle and fashion wear to protect the integrity of the hardware.
How do I clean the buckle?
Use a dry, soft microfiber cloth to wipe the buckle after wear to remove oils and moisture.
Is the sizing the same as standard Vans?
Yes, these follow the standard Vans Old Skool 36 adult sizing conventions.
Are the buckle components removable?
No, the hardware is integrated into the design and should not be removed to avoid damaging the upper material.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the materials are resilient, it is best to avoid heavy rain to protect the longevity of the metal hardware finish.
Troubleshooting
Buckle hardware seems loose
Check the internal backing or attachment point. If it remains loose, consult a professional cobbler rather than attempting to pry the hardware yourself.
Scuffs on the metallic finish
Gently buff the area with a soft microfiber cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that may strip the finish.
