FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, the Vans Knu Skool sneakers are designed with a throwback skate vibe and features like the durable upper and rubber waffle outsole, making them suitable for casual skateboarding and general active use.
How do I determine the correct size?
These shoes are in UK sizing for juniors. It's recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to a Vans size chart, or try them on to ensure the best fit.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, canvas, and adhesive. Always follow the spot cleaning and air-drying instructions for best results.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Vans Knu Skool sneakers are not designed to be waterproof. The suede and canvas materials will absorb water. For protection against moisture, consider applying a suitable water and stain repellent spray.
What is the '3D molded sidestripe'?
The 3D molded sidestripe is an iconic Vans design feature that gives a raised, three-dimensional appearance to the signature side stripe, enhancing the shoe's visual appeal and retro look.
How can I prevent the suede from getting scuffed?
While scuffing can occur with active wear, using a suede protector spray can help. Regular gentle brushing with a suede brush can also help to maintain the nap and minimize the appearance of minor scuffs.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight during wear.
Adjust the lace tension. Loosen or tighten the laces evenly across the eyelets until you achieve a comfortable, secure fit that doesn't restrict circulation or allow excessive movement.
Suede or canvas upper appears dirty or scuffed.
Use a soft-bristled brush (like a suede brush) to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, lightly dampen a cloth with water and a small amount of mild soap, dab the affected area, then blot dry. Allow to air dry completely. Avoid rubbing vigorously, especially on suede.
Reduced grip from the waffle outsole.
Clean the rubber waffle outsole thoroughly. Use a stiff brush or an old toothbrush with water and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or small debris that might be impacting the traction. Rinse and let air dry.

- Cleaning the Suede and Canvas: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For tougher spots, a damp cloth with a mild soap solution can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid saturating the suede. Allow to air dry completely away from direct heat. - Outsole Cleaning: The rubber waffle outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain traction. - Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleaches, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and color. - Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally. Do not put them in a dryer or use direct heat, which can cause materials to shrink or crack. - Protection: Consider using a suede and fabric protector spray to help repel water and stains, especially if worn frequently in varied weather conditions.
