FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
Yes, the Old Skool was designed as a skate shoe and remains a popular choice for skaters due to its durable construction and grip.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to a standard sizing chart if you are between sizes.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your Vans as the heat and agitation can damage the materials and bonding agents.
Does the blue fabric bleed when wet?
While the materials are high-quality, it is best to avoid getting the shoes soaked to preserve the color consistency between the blue and white panels.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
Most users find them comfortable immediately, but the canvas and sole may become slightly more flexible after a few days of wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the laces starting from the bottom eyelets to relieve pressure on the bridge of the foot.
White stripe is collecting scuffs
Use a white eraser or a damp cloth with a tiny amount of baking soda to gently buff out surface marks.
Outsole losing traction
Use a stiff-bristled brush to remove embedded debris from the waffle grooves to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Sizing: These shoes are standard UK sizing; choose your regular street shoe size for the best fit.
- Care Instructions: To maintain the vibrancy of the blue canvas and the brightness of the white stripe, spot-clean with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid machine washing, which can compromise the glue and structural integrity of the shoe.
- Lacing: The standard lacing system allows for customizable tension; ensure laces are tightened snugly to prevent heel slip during walking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the canvas fabric from fading over time.
