FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the Vans Old Skool V trainers are designed for daily use, offering comfort and durability for active toddlers.
How do I know if they fit my toddler correctly?
Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between your toddler's longest toe and the end of the shoe. The straps should fasten securely without pinching or being too loose, and your child should be able to wiggle their toes comfortably.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, these shoes, especially due to the suede material, should not be machine washed. Machine washing can damage the suede and the shoe's structure. Please refer to the care instructions for proper cleaning.
Is the floral pattern durable?
The floral pattern is integrated into the design. With proper care and avoiding harsh abrasion, the pattern should remain vibrant throughout the shoe's lifespan.
What is the 'waffle outsole' and why is it important?
The 'waffle outsole' is Vans' signature sole pattern, characterized by a series of square and diamond shapes. It's important because it provides excellent grip and traction, which is crucial for active toddlers to prevent slipping and support their balance.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the suede material is not water-resistant. It's best to avoid wearing these trainers in wet conditions to prevent damage and staining to the material.
Troubleshooting
Straps won't stay fastened
Check if the hook-and-loop fasteners are clean and free of lint or debris. Clean them with a stiff brush if needed to restore their grip.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This helps to lift dirt and restore its original texture.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Ensure you are fastening the easy-fasten straps correctly. They should be snug but not restrictive. For tightness, confirm the child is wearing appropriate socks. For looseness, try tightening the straps further. If the fit is still off, the size might not be ideal.
Outsoles seem to lose grip
Check the waffle outsoles for embedded dirt or debris. Clean thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild soap to restore the traction.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of these suede trainers:
- Spot Cleaning: For small scuffs or dirt, use a specialized suede brush or a soft, clean cloth. Gently brush in one direction to lift dirt and restore the nap.
- Deep Cleaning (Suede): For more stubborn marks, use a suede cleaner product specifically designed for this material. Apply according to the product's instructions, usually by dabbing and then brushing once dry.
- Outsole Cleaning: Wipe the waffle outsoles with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain grip.
- Avoid Water: Suede is not water-resistant. Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or puddles. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing with paper can help maintain their shape.
