FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Vans Old Skool Trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities like running.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The best way to ensure the right fit is to try them on. They should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight, with enough room in the toe box. Refer to Vans' sizing chart if purchasing online.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash Vans Old Skool Trainers, especially those made with leather, as it can damage the materials and construction. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap instead.

How durable is the rubber outsole?

The durable rubber outsole with a waffle pattern is designed for longevity and provides good traction for everyday use.

What is the main benefit of the Comfycush midsole?

The Comfycush midsole provides lightweight cushioning, offering a softer feel and more comfort for prolonged wear compared to traditional soles.

Are these trainers waterproof?

These trainers are made of leather and are not inherently waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but should be treated with a waterproofing spray for better protection in wet conditions.

What does the 'Old Skool' refer to?

'Old Skool' is the original name for the Vans #36 model, which introduced the iconic sidestripe that has become synonymous with the Vans brand.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or stiff

Wear the shoes with thicker socks for a short period indoors to help them stretch and mold to your feet. Consider using a shoe stretcher if needed.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the waffle outsole is clean. For new shoes, a light scuffing of the sole on rougher surfaces can improve initial grip. Consider specialized grip enhancers if persistent.

Leather showing signs of dryness or cracking

Apply a quality leather conditioner regularly, especially after cleaning or exposure to dry conditions. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Laces are difficult to keep tied

Try a different lacing knot, or consider replacing the laces with ones that have more friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:

  1. Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid soaking the shoes.
