FAQs
Are these Vans Old Skool trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK shoe sizing, though the canvas may stretch slightly with repeated wear.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your Vans as it can damage the materials and the bond of the rubber sole.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
While durable, the canvas and suede are not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to prevent water staining.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
The Old Skool features a standard flat footbed. If you require specific arch support, you may wish to add aftermarket insoles.
How do I keep the black color looking new?
Keep them out of direct sunlight when not in use and use a color-safe fabric or suede restorer if the color begins to fade.
Troubleshooting
Stiff fit during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short intervals at home with thick socks to gently stretch the materials until they conform to your foot.
White marks or dust on the black material
Use a dry microfiber cloth or a dedicated suede brush to gently buff away surface debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal fit, ensure you are selecting the correct UK sizing, as these trainers are designed for a standard adult foot shape. To care for your Vans Old Skool trainers, avoid machine washing, which can compromise the glue and material integrity. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede and canvas. If they become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the rubber from warping or the materials from becoming brittle. Using a protective suede spray can help maintain the richness of the black fabric over time.
