Maintaining the suede and canvas on your Vans Old Skool shoes will help them last longer and look their best.
Initial Protection: Before the first wear, consider applying a suede and fabric protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush (a dedicated suede brush works best) to gently remove loose dirt and dust from the suede and canvas surfaces.
Spot Cleaning: For minor marks on suede, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp, clean cloth. Rub gently in one direction.
Deeper Cleaning: For more stubborn stains or overall dirt, use a specialized suede and canvas cleaner. Follow the product's instructions carefully, often involving applying the cleaner, scrubbing gently with a brush, and wiping away excess.
Air Dry: Always allow your shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. You can stuff them with paper towels to help maintain their shape as they dry.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your Vans Old Skool shoes, as this can damage the materials and construction.
