Troubleshooting

Suede material looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Shoes feel stiff initially

The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape.

Laces are dirty

Remove the laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing the shoes.

Tread pattern losing grip

Ensure the sole is clean from debris like mud or stones. For significant wear, consider replacement if grip is compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These Vans Old Skool trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are compatible with a wide range of casual outfits for adult males. To care for your trainers, it is recommended to clean the suede and canvas components separately. Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the suede. For stains, a damp cloth can be used on the canvas and rubber parts. Avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes, as this can damage the materials. Suede-specific cleaning products can be used for tougher marks on the suede sections. Ensure they are air-dried away from direct heat.
