FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?

Can I put my Vans in the washing machine?
It is highly recommended to avoid machine washing to prevent glue damage and material distortion.
Are the Vans Old Skool good for walking all day?
They are suitable for casual walking, but because they have a flat footbed, they may not offer the same arch support as dedicated walking shoes.
How do I clean the suede portions?
Use a dry suede brush to remove surface dirt and a specific suede eraser for stubborn spots.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Vans Old Skool series is designed as unisex footwear for adults.
Troubleshooting
The canvas or suede material is getting dirty.
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a soft, damp brush to gently scrub the affected area.
The shoe feels too stiff when new.
Wear them around the house for short periods to gradually break in the materials and form the shoe to your foot.
The rubber soles are losing grip.
Check the underside for debris and clean with a damp cloth to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Vans Old Skool Trainers in top condition, ensure you select the correct size according to the UK sizing standard provided. For initial setup, loosen the laces to comfortably insert your foot, then tighten to your preferred tension to ensure the shoe stays secure. For care, avoid machine washing as this can damage the structural integrity and materials. Instead, spot clean marks using a soft brush, warm water, and mild detergent. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the rubber soles.
