FAQs

Are these shoes good for athletic activities?

The Old Skool 36 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe. While they have a heritage in skateboarding, the premium versions are more suited for everyday wear than intense athletic performance.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the Vans size chart and compare it with your foot measurement. These are UK sizes. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the shoes offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and discomfort. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection.

What is the main difference between the Old Skool 36 and other Old Skool models?

The '36' in the name signifies the original design iteration. Models like the 'Premium' Old Skool 36 often feature enhanced materials, improved cushioning, and refined construction for superior comfort and a more elevated feel compared to the most basic versions.

How should I care for the brown color?

For the brown color, especially if it's suede or nubuck, use a suede brush to remove dirt and maintain texture. A suede cleaner and protector can help preserve the color and prevent stains.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

The Old Skool 36 provides a standard level of support typical for flat-soled casual shoes. Individuals requiring significant arch support may need to consider using aftermarket insoles.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. If still uncomfortable, consider using thicker socks or specialized shoe stretchers.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with standard flat shoelaces. Ensure they are tied securely but not excessively tight to prevent undue stress.

Discoloration on suede/canvas

Use a suede eraser for dry marks. For tougher stains, use a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for the material, following product instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Sole becoming detached

For minor detachment, a strong adhesive like shoe glue can be used. For significant damage, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.
