FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing, though the leather may feel slightly stiff initially.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather material and the glue used in the vulcanized construction.
Are these suitable for hiking?
These are lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for rugged terrain or hiking as they lack aggressive tread and structural stability.
How do I protect the leather from water?
Apply a high-quality leather protector spray specifically designed for footwear to help repel water and prevent stains.
Are these unisex?
While listed by specific gender sizes, the design is widely considered unisex due to its classic silhouette.
Troubleshooting
The leather upper is showing creases.
Creasing is a natural characteristic of real leather; keep them stored with a shoe tree to maintain shape when not in use.
The laces feel too loose or keep coming undone.
Replace standard laces with waxed cotton laces for better friction, or try a double-knot technique.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Vans Old Skool trainers, ensure the fit is snug across the midfoot. Leather requires a brief break-in period where the material will soften to the shape of your foot. To care for your leather trainers, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, wipe away surface dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a mild soap solution applied sparingly to a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack or shrink.
