To ensure your Vans Old Skool Trainers last and maintain their iconic look, follow these care guidelines:
Spot Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away debris.
Suede Care: For suede areas, use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Canvas Care: For canvas parts, a mild soap and water solution can be used with a soft brush. Gently scrub the affected areas.
Air Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, to prevent material damage or warping.
Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and canvas to help protect against elements and prolong the life of your trainers.
Regular Maintenance: Wipe down your trainers regularly after use, especially if worn in dusty or dirty environments, to prevent dirt buildup.
