FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
While Vans are renowned for skateboarding, the Knu Skool's puffy design and suede material make them more geared towards casual wear and fashion, though they retain Vans' durable construction.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
These are UK children's size 4. It's recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to Vans' official sizing chart for the most accurate fit. Consider that the puffy elements might make them feel slightly different than standard slim-profile shoes.
Can these shoes be washed in a machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended, especially for suede shoes. This can damage the material and adhesives. Always follow the specific care instructions for suede.
What is the difference between Knu Skool and Old Skool?
The Knu Skool is a modern, 'puffed up' interpretation of the classic Old Skool. It features an exaggerated tongue, 3D-molded Sidestripe, and chunky laces, giving it a more substantial and retro 90s aesthetic compared to the sleeker original.
Are they comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, the Knu Skool is designed for everyday wear. The padded tongue and collar contribute to comfort, making them suitable for prolonged use during school or casual activities.
How often should I apply suede protector?
It's recommended to apply suede protector before the first wear and then reapply every few weeks or months, depending on frequency of use and exposure to elements, to maintain water and stain resistance.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material.
Laces frequently come untied
Ensure laces are tied with a double knot. The oversized laces might require tighter knotting to stay secure during active wear.
Shoes feel too bulky or loose
Check that the size is correct. Adjust the lacing tightness to achieve a snug but comfortable fit, ensuring the foot is secure within the padded interior.
Minor scuffs or marks on the sole
Wipe rubber soles with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser can often remove them effectively.
