FAQs
What are the primary materials used in the Vans Ward Old Skool?
The primary materials are suede and canvas for the upper, with a rubber sole.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The description mentions 'wide fit trainers', suggesting they may accommodate wider feet, but fit can vary by individual.
How do I clean the black and white colorway?
Clean suede parts with a suede brush and cleaner, and canvas parts with mild soap and water. Wipe rubber soles with a damp cloth. Always air dry.
What is the main benefit of the cushioned midsole?
The cushioned midsole provides lightweight comfort and absorbs shock, making them suitable for extended wear.
Can I wear these in rainy weather?
While they offer some protection, suede and canvas are not ideal for heavy rain and can be damaged or discolored. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions.
What kind of support do these shoes offer?
They offer comfort and a secure fit with padded collars and a lace-up closure, but provide limited ankle support due to their low-top design.
Where do these shoes fit into Vans' product line?
The 'Ward' is a variation of the classic 'Old Skool' silhouette, often featuring similar design elements with slight material or color differences.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dirty or matted
Use a dry suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a suede cleaner product and follow its instructions carefully.
Canvas gets scuffed or stained
For light scuffs, try a soft eraser. For stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Laces become dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Air dry completely before re-lacing.
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure laces are loosened before putting on the shoe. If still tight, consider wearing them for short periods initially to allow them to break in, or try thicker socks to see if it improves comfort.
