FAQs

Are these suitable for skateboarding?

While inspired by skate culture, these are primarily lifestyle shoes. For intense skateboarding, consider Vans' dedicated skate shoe lines which offer enhanced durability and padding.

How do I clean the pink leather?

Use a soft brush or cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for leather. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

These shoes are not waterproof. While the leather offers some resistance, prolonged exposure to rain is not recommended. Consider using a waterproofing spray for light moisture protection.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper material is primarily leather.

What does 'Old Skool' refer to?

'Old Skool' is the original name for the Vans #36, the first shoe to feature the iconic sidestripe, and represents a classic Vans silhouette.

Is this a unisex model?

Yes, the Vans Old Skool series is generally considered unisex and suitable for all genders.

What kind of socks are best with these shoes?

Ankle socks, crew socks, or no-show socks all work well depending on your style preference and the desired look.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight.

Leather scuffs or stains easily

Clean promptly with appropriate leather cleaner. Use a leather protectant spray for prevention. Consider this a natural part of wear for leather shoes.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The waffle sole offers good grip, but extremely smooth or wet surfaces may reduce traction. Ensure the sole is clean of debris.
