Vans Old Skool 36 Trainers - Brown - Size 10

While inspired by skate culture, the 'Premium' version with elevated materials and detailing is best suited for casual wear. For heavy skateboarding, consider Vans models specifically designed for skate performance.

Gently wipe the pearlized areas with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, which could damage the finish.

The upper is constructed from a combination of premium suede and canvas, providing both durability and a refined look.

The trainers feature a vulcanised rubber midsole for cushioning and support, but they offer a relatively flat profile. For individuals requiring significant arch support, consider adding aftermarket insoles.

It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet conditions, as water can stain and damage the material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

The 'Old Skool' is Vans' first shoe featuring the iconic Sidestripe. The '36' designation refers to the specific original design and model number from its 1977 release.

Refer to a standard UK shoe size chart and measure your foot length. Vans trainers typically follow standard sizing, but slight variations can occur. Comparing with other Vans shoes you own can also be helpful.

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt. For more persistent stains, try a suede eraser or consult a professional shoe cleaner. Avoid using water directly on suede unless specified by a cleaning product.

This is common with suede. Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. You can also try using a shoe stretcher or thicker socks to gently expand the fit.

Ensure laces are tied tightly using a secure knot. Consider replacing the laces with a textured or wax-coated pair which tend to hold knots better.

Regular cleaning of the waffle sole will help maintain its grip. For significant wear, consider professional sole repair or replacement if available for this model.
