FAQs

Are the Vans Knu Skool suitable for wide feet?

The Knu Skool features a slightly chunkier profile which may offer a bit more room than slimmer Vans models. However, fit can vary per individual. Trying them on is recommended if possible.

How do I clean the suede material?

Gently brush off dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and a lightly dampened cloth. Always allow them to air dry completely away from heat.

Can I wear these for sports?

The Knu Skool is designed primarily for casual wear and light activity. While durable, they are not intended for high-impact sports or athletic training.

What is the difference between Knu Skool and Old Skool?

The Knu Skool is a reinterpretation of the classic Old Skool, featuring a more pronounced, chunky silhouette and a padded collar for enhanced comfort and a bolder aesthetic.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The suede material is not inherently waterproof. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, they are not designed for wet conditions.

What size should I order?

These trainers are available in UK adult sizes. Refer to standard UK sizing charts. The provided example is in UK size 10.5.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For more persistent dirt, apply a specialized suede cleaner following product instructions and allow to air dry.

Shoes feel stiff initially

Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in. Walking around the house for a few hours each day will help them conform to your foot shape.

Laces fraying or showing wear

Replace laces with a similar type and length. Standard trainer laces are compatible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear, aligning with standard UK shoe sizing. They are designed for men but can be worn by anyone appreciating the style.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner and a damp cloth, then allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing.
  2. Protection: Consider a suede protector spray to guard against water and stains.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to maintain shape and prevent dust accumulation.
