Maintaining the pristine white appearance of your Vans Old Skool requires regular attention, particularly for the canvas and suede elements. Proper care will extend the life and look of your shoes.
Spot Cleaning (Canvas): For canvas areas, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) with a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently scrub in circular motions.
Suede Cleaning: For suede panels, use a specialized suede brush or a clean, soft eraser to gently lift dirt and scuffs. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede. For tougher stains, a suede-specific cleaner is recommended.
Lace Cleaning: Remove laces and wash them separately with soap and water.
Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g., radiators, dryers). Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your Vans Old Skool shoes, as this can damage the materials and construction.
Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for canvas and suede to help prevent future marks.
