FAQs

What material are the Vans Old Skool shoes made of?

These shoes feature a combination of durable suede and breathable canvas uppers.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoes?

Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth for stains. Avoid soaking the suede and allow to air dry.

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

These are skate-inspired shoes designed for casual wear and light skateboarding. For professional skateboarding, specialized technical skate shoes might be more appropriate.

What is the main benefit of the padded collar?

The padded collar provides enhanced ankle support and comfort during wear.

Does the animal print affect the shoe's durability?

The animal print is part of the shoe's design and does not inherently affect the durability of the suede and canvas materials. Proper care is key to maintaining longevity.

What is the primary advantage of the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable traction and durability, ensuring a firm grip on various surfaces.

Can these shoes be worn by men?

While listed as women's, the unisex design of the Old Skool may allow for men to wear them if the sizing is compatible. However, they are specifically marketed towards women.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or a lightly damp cloth, ensuring not to saturate the material. Allow to air dry.

Laces are worn or dirty.

Remove the laces and wash them by hand with mild soap and water, or machine wash them in a garment bag. Replace if frayed or damaged.

Shoes feel too tight.

Loosen the laces and try the shoes on again. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if the materials will stretch slightly with wear. Ensure the padded collar is not causing pressure.

Reduced traction on the outsole.

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be reducing grip.
