Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Vans Old Skool 36 Souvenir, it is essential to treat the leather properly. Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the surface. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather and affect the security of the decorative pins. If you choose to remove the pins, store them in a secure container to avoid loss. When lacing, ensure you do not pull too tight at the top eyelets to maintain the structural integrity of the padded collar. For storage, keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the deep black pigment of the leather over time.
