FAQs
What is the primary material of the Vans Old Skool 36?
The primary materials are suede for the upper, complemented by canvas accents. The sole is made of vulcanized rubber.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a suede brush for regular dirt and a suede eraser for stains. Avoid water and harsh cleaners. Allow wet shoes to air dry naturally.
Are these trainers suitable for skateboarding?
While they feature a classic skate design and durable waffle sole, the premium suede and pearlized detailing suggest they are best suited for casual wear to preserve their aesthetic. For intense skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes might offer more durability.
What does 'Old Skool 36' refer to?
'Old Skool' is Vans' term for their original skate shoe models. The '36' refers to the Style 36, which was an early design that introduced the iconic Sidestripe.
How do the pearlized details affect care?
The pearlized detailing should be treated gently. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing on these areas to prevent chipping or wear.
What is the fit like?
The Old Skool typically offers a standard fit. The low padded collar enhances comfort, and the lace-up closure allows for adjustability. It's recommended to consult Vans' sizing chart for the most accurate fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede shoes in wet conditions as water can damage the material and cause staining. If they get wet, ensure they are dried properly and promptly.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained.
Use a specialized suede eraser for dry marks. For wet stains, blot immediately and allow to air dry, then use a suede brush. Consider a suede protector spray for future prevention.
Laces are frayed or worn.
Replace laces with new ones of similar length and material. Many shoe retailers offer replacement laces.
Sole is losing grip.
Ensure the waffle sole is clean of debris. If the rubber has significantly worn down, grip may be permanently reduced.
Color seems to be fading.
Limit prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Consider using a suede color restoring product if available, following product instructions carefully.
