FAQs
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the Vans Old Skool 36 Souvenir trainers are designed as unisex footwear.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers and do not provide the cushioning or arch support required for running.
How should I clean the suede parts?
Use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt; avoid using water directly on suede as it can cause discoloration.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK adult sizing conventions.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
While durable, the materials are not waterproof; it is best to avoid heavy rain to maintain the appearance and longevity of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Stiff feel during first wear
The materials need time to soften; wear them for short periods around the house to help break in the canvas and heel counter.
Surface dirt on the fabric
Use a dry, soft brush to remove loose dust, followed by a slightly damp cloth with mild detergent for stubborn spots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans maintain their appearance, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. If they get dirty, spot-clean the canvas or suede with a soft-bristled brush and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the glue and structural integrity of the shoe. When sizing, these trainers generally follow standard UK adult foot sizing; it is recommended to wear them with mid-weight socks to ensure a snug, comfortable fit during the initial break-in phase.
