FAQs

How do I determine my correct shoe size?

Refer to the Vans size chart or measure your foot length and compare it to the size guide.

Can I use these shoes for other sports?

While these shoes are designed for skateboarding, they can be used for casual wear. However, their specific features are optimized for skateboarding.

How do I clean the white rubber sole?

Use a specialized sole cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water, gently scrubbing with a brush. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.

What is the lifespan of the Vans Skate Old Skool 36+?

The lifespan depends on usage and care. With regular skateboarding and proper care, they should last for several months.

Where can I purchase these shoes?

These shoes are available at Vans stores and authorized retailers.

What kind of socks are best to wear with these shoes?

What is the warranty on these shoes?

Vans offers a warranty on manufacturing defects. Contact Vans customer service for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Sole is losing grip.

Clean the sole with a brush and soapy water. If grip persists to be an issue, consider the wear of the shoe and the surface being skated on.

The shoe is uncomfortable.

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Consider the socks, and if the shoes are still uncomfortable, they might require a break-in period.

The uppers are tearing or wearing out prematurely.

The shoe has Duracap in the uppers, which should help with the longevity of the shoe. Avoid excessive friction against abrasive surfaces. Consider using shoe goo to repair the uppers.
