FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, washing machine cycles can damage the leather and adhesive. Please clean them by hand using a damp cloth.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing. If you are between sizes, we recommend opting for the larger size to accommodate growing feet.

Can these be worn for sports?

While they are comfortable and durable, they are designed as casual trainers. For high-intensity sports, a shoe with more specialized athletic support is recommended.

What material is the upper made of?

This specific model features a durable leather upper for long-lasting use.

How do I ensure the grip stays effective?

Periodically check the waffle tread for pebbles or debris. Keeping the soles free of mud ensures maximum traction.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff when new

Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the leather and padding to break in comfortably.

Scuff marks on the leather surface

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser to gently buff out minor scuffs.

Laces coming untied frequently

Use a double knot or replace with elastic laces if your child struggles with standard tying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Vans Old Skool trainers, follow these guidelines:

Sizing: These are standard UK kids' sizes. Ensure there is a small amount of room for growth, but check that the padded collar sits snugly against the ankle.
Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth to remove surface dirt from the leather. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather quality over time.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from fading or cracking.
Conditioning: Periodic application of a leather conditioner will help keep the material supple and prevent scuffs from becoming deep scratches.
