FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though if you prefer extra room, you may want to consider your standard Vans size.

Can these be washed in a machine?

It is not recommended to wash them in a machine as this can compromise the adhesive and material integrity; hand cleaning is the best method.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Old Skool 36 design is standard in width, but the canvas material typically allows for some natural stretching over time.

Do these shoes provide arch support?

They offer standard support suitable for everyday casual walking but do not contain specialized orthopedic inserts.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, you can remove the existing insoles and replace them with your own orthotics or cushioned insoles if preferred.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone

Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the lace material is pulled tight through each eyelet for consistent tension.

Visible dust on the black upper

Use a dry microfiber cloth or a dedicated suede brush to gently lift and remove surface debris.

Feeling too tight initially

The materials will naturally break in after several hours of wear; ensure you are wearing the appropriate thickness of socks for your preference.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no special setup; simply lace them up and adjust for your desired snugness. They are compatible with most casual attire, including slim-fit jeans, joggers, and shorts. To maintain their appearance, we recommend using a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede and canvas sections. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the materials from stiffening or losing their shape. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for mixed-material footwear.
