FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you plan to wear thick socks, you may want to consider a half-size up.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can ruin the suede material and weaken the adhesive used for the soles.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Old Skool has a relatively standard width. The suede material will stretch slightly over time to accommodate the shape of your foot.

Does the black color fade quickly?

Like all dyed suede, colors may fade if exposed to excessive direct sunlight. Proper storage and limiting sun exposure help maintain the deep black finish.

Can I wear these for long-distance walking?

While comfortable for everyday tasks, they do not feature the high-tech arch support found in specialized running shoes, so they are best suited for moderate walking.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears stiff after getting wet

Once completely dry, use a soft suede brush to gently restore the nap of the material.

White soles have gathered scuffs

Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution or a dedicated sneaker cleaning sponge to gently scrub the rubber sidewalls.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile black aesthetic matches almost any wardrobe
  • Durable suede material resists daily scuffs well
  • Padded collar offers superior ankle comfort
  • Reliable traction provided by the signature waffle outsole

Cons

  • Suede requires careful cleaning and is sensitive to water damage
  • Low-top design offers less ankle support than high-top alternatives
  • Break-in period may be needed for optimal comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get the best out of your Vans Old Skool, ensure you select the correct size as the suede material provides a snug fit. Before your first wear, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray to protect the material from the elements.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Never submerge suede shoes in water. Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and a specialized suede eraser for targeted spot cleaning of scuffs.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the black dye over time.
  • Maintenance: If the suede becomes wet, let them air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid heat sources like radiators, as they can cause the suede to crack or stiffen.
