FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing, though the puffy padding may make them feel slightly more snug initially.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash suede shoes, as the water and agitation can damage the material and the shoe's structural glue.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof. We recommend applying a protective suede spray to provide basic water resistance.
What is the primary material used in this shoe?
This variant is constructed with a sturdy suede upper.
Does this model come with extra laces?
The Knu Skool typically comes with standard flat laces that match the aesthetic of the 90s reissue.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Knu Skool's chunky design and padded interior generally provide a bit more interior space than slimmer Vans models, which many users find accommodating.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or flat
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, soft toothbrush to gently brush the fibers in one direction to restore the nap.
Minor scuffs on the rubber sole
Use a white pencil eraser or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to buff out marks from the rubber sidewall.
Heel slippage
Ensure the laces are snugged properly through the top eyelet to utilize the padded ankle collar for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans Knu Skool Trainers maintain their look, apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first use. If the suede becomes dirty, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents, as this can discolor the material and ruin the integrity of the suede. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. To keep the shape of the puffy tongue intact, store them loosely rather than packing them tightly against other items.
