FAQs
What material are the Vans Old Skool made from?
The Vans Old Skool typically feature a combination of suede and canvas for the upper, with a rubber sole.
How do I clean my suede Vans?
Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth, and always air dry.
Are these suitable for skateboarding?
While the Old Skool originated from skate culture and has a durable construction with good grip, they are best suited for casual wear. For intense skateboarding, specialized skate shoes might offer better protection and performance.
Can I put them in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash Vans Old Skool, especially those with suede, as it can damage the materials and structure of the shoe. Hand wash or spot clean instead.
What is the difference between Old Skool and other Vans models?
The Old Skool is characterized by its iconic Sidestripe and low-top silhouette. Other models may differ in height (e.g., Sk8-Hi is high-top), materials, or specific design elements.
Do they run true to size?
Vans sizing can sometimes vary. It is generally recommended to check customer reviews or try them on if possible, as some find them to run slightly narrow or small.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Vans Old Skool series comes in a wide variety of colors and material combinations beyond this black suede version.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher marks, a suede eraser or a damp cloth can be applied gently. Ensure shoes are dry before brushing.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length. Consider durable alternatives like waxed laces.
Sole starting to detach slightly
For minor detachments, a strong adhesive like shoe glue can be used. For significant issues, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually with thicker socks. Consider using insoles for added comfort or arch support if needed.
