FAQs

What makes the Vibram outsole special?

The Vibram outsole is a high-performance rubber compound known for its durability, excellent traction, and grip on various surfaces, providing enhanced stability and confidence with every step.

How do I clean the leather cord knots?

Gently wipe the leather cord knots with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather.

Are these sneakers suitable for skateboarding?

While inspired by skate culture and featuring a durable build, the unique decorative elements like the leather knots might be susceptible to damage during intense skateboarding. They are best suited for casual wear and light activity.

What is the difference between this model and standard Old Skool?

This model features a premium upgrade with a heavyweight canvas and suede upper, a leather lining, a cushioned leather footbed, and the distinctive round leather cord knots. The most significant functional difference is the inclusion of a custom Vibram® outsole for superior grip.

How should I care for the suede material?

Regularly brush the suede with a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product instructions. It is recommended to apply a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.

What does 'OTW' stand for in the product name?

OTW typically stands for 'Off The Wall,' a long-standing Vans tagline and product line descriptor, often indicating premium or lifestyle-oriented models.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the Ortholite® insole is designed for comfort and can be removed if you wish to replace them with custom orthotics or different insoles, provided they are of a similar size and shape.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Apply a suede protector to prevent future stains.

Laces are difficult to tie or come undone.

Ensure laces are properly threaded through eyelets. Consider using a lace lock or double knotting for a more secure fit.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.

Ensure the Vibram outsole is clean. Minor wear may occur over time; however, the tank tread is designed for optimal grip. If persistent, inspect for damage.

Leather lining feels stiff initially.

Wear the shoes for short periods to allow the leather lining to naturally conform to your foot shape. Avoid using heat to break them in, as this can damage the leather.
