Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Vans Old Skool Shoes Junior:
Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt and scuffs, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush).
Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush or a specialized suede eraser for marks. For deeper stains, a suede cleaner solution applied with a clean cloth can be used. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Allow to air dry completely.
Cleaning Canvas: Mix mild soap (like dish soap) with cool water. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub canvas areas. Avoid oversaturating the material. Rinse the brush/cloth and wipe away soap residue.
Cleaning Rubber Soles: Use warm water and a brush or cloth with a small amount of mild soap to scrub the rubber foxing tape and waffle outsole. A magic eraser can also be effective for stubborn marks.
Drying: Always air dry shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials. Stuffing with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede and canvas to add an extra layer of protection against spills and dirt.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Do NOT machine wash or machine dry these shoes, as it can damage the materials and adhesives.
