Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Vans Old Skool Junior Shoes, especially given their suede and canvas construction.
- General Cleaning:
- For everyday dirt, brush off loose debris with a soft brush.
- Mix a small amount of mild soap with cold water.
- Use a cloth dipped in the soapy water to gently scrub canvas areas. Avoid oversaturating.
- For suede parts, use a suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to carefully brush dirt away.
- For tougher marks on suede, a specialized suede cleaner or eraser stick is recommended.
- Wipe rubber outsoles and sidewalls with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can damage materials.
- Stain Treatment: Treat stains on suede or canvas as quickly as possible. For specific stain types, consult a shoe care guide or professional.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and canvas to protect your shoes from the elements and help prevent future stains. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. You can stuff them with tissue paper to help maintain their shape.
