To maintain the appearance and extend the life of your Vans Old Skool trainers, proper care is crucial:
Refer to Instructions: Always prioritize the specific care instructions provided on the shoe's label or packaging. These provide the most accurate guidance for your product.
Spot Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, spot clean the suede and canvas areas with a soft brush or cloth and a specialized shoe cleaner designed for these materials. Avoid harsh detergents.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoes.
Air Dry: After cleaning, allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Protective Spray: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and canvas to help protect the shoes from spills and moisture.
