FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, it is recommended to hand clean these leather shoes to avoid damaging the material and the adhesive.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Old Skool series generally has a standard fit; if your child has exceptionally wide feet, you may want to ensure the laces are loosened properly.
Can I use these for sports?
While durable for daily activities and school, these are lifestyle trainers and not specifically engineered for high-impact professional sports.
What material is the upper made of?
This specific model features a durable leather construction.
Do they provide arch support?
They provide a standard level of support suitable for general daily wear, but they are not categorized as orthopedic footwear.
Troubleshooting
The leather is starting to look dull.
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore shine and keep the material supple.
The outsoles have lost traction due to debris.
Use a toothpick or a small brush to dislodge pebbles or mud stuck in the waffle tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Old Skool trainers last as long as possible, follow these care steps:
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt or dust from the leather surface.
- Stain Removal: For deeper stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid soaking the leather, as this can cause it to stiffen.
- Air Drying: Always let your shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup inside the lining.
