FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Vans LX Old Skool 36 Souvenir trainers generally fit true to standard UK adult sizing.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the glue and material integrity. Spot cleaning is the preferred method.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The classic Old Skool silhouette has a standard width; however, the lace-up closure allows for some adjustment in tension to accommodate different foot volumes.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, they are designed as unisex trainers, catering to a wide range of adult foot shapes and preferences.

What is the best way to clean the white rubber sole?

Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water applied with an old toothbrush to scrub away scuffs.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during the first few wears

The canvas and suede materials will naturally relax and mold to your foot shape after a few days of consistent wear.

Accumulation of dust on black fabric

Use a lint roller or a soft garment brush to lift surface dust and keep the black fabric looking vibrant.

Pros and Cons

  • Suitable for a variety of casual environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are designed for immediate wear right out of the box with no complex setup required. Because they feature a unisex design, ensure you verify your UK sizing before purchase to get the best fit. To maintain the black aesthetic, avoid submerging the shoes in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the soles and a damp cloth with mild detergent to spot-clean the upper canvas or suede panels. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive damage.
