FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made from engineered knit textile, specifically a woven mesh in a variegated colourway of navy, black, and white.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Old Skool series generally offers a standard fit. While designed for comfort, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Checking the specific fit of the LX models is recommended.

How should I clean the "Side Stripe"?

The "Side Stripe" is made of thick white thread. You can gently clean it with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a soft brush with mild soap and water, then wipe with a clean damp cloth.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While they offer some basic protection, the woven upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and discomfort.

What makes the "Premium" version different?

The 'Premium' designation, as seen in the 36 LX models, typically indicates elevated materials, refined construction details, and enhanced comfort features compared to standard versions.

What is the typical lifespan of these shoes with regular wear?

With proper care and regular casual wear, Vans Old Skool shoes are generally durable and can last for several years. The lifespan can vary depending on the frequency of wear and the types of activities undertaken.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear the shoes with medium-thick socks for a few hours each day to allow them to stretch slightly. You can also try using a shoe stretcher if the tightness is significant.

Discoloration on woven upper

Attempt spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Soles appear dirty

Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with a bit of shoe cleaner specifically designed for rubber soles. Wipe clean with a damp cloth afterward.
