FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for skating?

While the Old Skool 36 series has roots in skating, the Souvenir edition is primarily styled for lifestyle and daily wear.

How do I find my correct size?

These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing; if you are between sizes, it is generally recommended to opt for the larger size for comfort.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash your Vans, as this can degrade the materials and the adhesives used in construction.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, the Vans Old Skool 36 Souvenir Trainers are designed as a unisex product, suitable for any gender.

Do they provide arch support?

They feature standard flat-bed construction consistent with the classic Vans silhouette. If you require extra arch support, you may wish to add aftermarket insoles.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during the first few wears

The canvas and suede will naturally stretch and mold to your foot shape after a few days of consistent wear.

Accumulation of lint or dust on the black material

Use a lint roller or a piece of masking tape to gently lift surface debris from the upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last as long as possible, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt and dust from the suede and canvas components.
  2. Stain Removal: For tougher marks, use a specialized sneaker cleaner safe for suede; avoid submerging the shoes in water as this can damage the glue.
  3. Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to prevent damage from the elements.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the black color from fading.
  5. Fit: Ensure you verify your UK sizing before wear, as the Old Skool 36 silhouette has a specific fit that should feel snug but not restrictive.
