The Vans Toddler Old Skool Shoes are built for the dynamic needs of young children. The double hook-and-loop closures are a game-changer for parents, simplifying the process of getting shoes on and off squirming toddlers, while also allowing for quick adjustments throughout the day to ensure a snug fit. This feature makes them ideal for busy mornings, daycare, or quick outings.
The durable suede uppers, combined with reinforced toe caps and supportive padded collars, mean these shoes can withstand the rigors of toddlerhood – from crawling and cruising to their first steps and playful runs. The signature rubber waffle outsoles provide excellent grip on various surfaces, reducing slips and enhancing stability as little ones explore. These shoes are perfect for everyday wear, whether at the park, playground, or simply enjoying family time, offering both comfort and the classic Vans style.
Setup:
Open Straps: Fully open both hook-and-loop straps on each shoe.
Insert Foot: Gently slide your toddler's foot into the shoe.
Secure Straps: Close the straps, starting with the one closer to the toes, then the one closer to the ankle. Ensure they are snug but not too tight, allowing for natural foot movement.
Check Fit: Wiggle your toddler's toes to ensure there's enough room (about a thumb's width) at the end of the shoe, and that the heel isn't slipping.

Care:
Cleaning Suede: For general dirt, allow mud or dirt to dry, then gently brush off with a soft-bristle brush (like a suede brush). For stubborn spots, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, dabbing gently, then wipe with a clean damp cloth and air dry away from direct heat.
Drying: Always air dry shoes. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as this can damage the suede or rubber.
Protection: Consider using a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially important for toddler shoes.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
