How should I clean my Vans KNU SKOOL trainers?

Info needed: The exact material for this specific Black/White UK 3 variant is not explicitly stated in the general description. However, other KNU SKOOL variants often feature materials like leather or suede. Please refer to the product tag on your specific pair for precise material information.
Can these trainers be used for sports?
The Vans KNU SKOOL trainers are designed for casual everyday wear and light recreational activities. While durable, they are not specialized performance sports footwear and may not offer the specific support or features required for intensive athletic use.
Do these trainers have arch support?

Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
First, ensure the laces are properly adjusted; loosen or tighten them as needed. If the issue persists, double-check the sizing. Vans KNU SKOOL are true-to-size, so confirm your child's current foot measurement against standard sizing charts.
Shoes get dirty easily.
Regularly wipe the trainers clean after use with a damp cloth as recommended. For persistent dirt, a mild soap can be used. Consider applying a suitable shoe protector spray (if the material allows) to help repel future stains.
Laces keep coming undone.
Ensure you are tying a firm double knot. If this continues to be an issue, consider replacing the laces with a slightly thicker or textured pair, or explore alternative lacing techniques that offer better retention.
Squeaking sound when walking.
A common cause for squeaking is air trapped between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and reinserting it. If the squeaking persists, it may be due to moisture; ensure the shoes are completely dry.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Vans KNU SKOOL trainers, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: The product description recommends to wipe clean. Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap (if necessary) to gently wipe away dirt and grime from the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdry, as this can damage materials.
- Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or submerge the trainers in water, as this can affect their structure and materials.
- Protection: Consider using a shoe protector spray suitable for the shoe's material (if known) to help repel water and stains, particularly if the material is suede or canvas.
