FAQs
How should I clean the green suede material?
Gently brush away loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
The Vans Old Skool are historically linked to skateboarding and feature a durable waffle sole for grip. However, for intense or professional skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes with enhanced padding and support might be more appropriate.
What is the Vans Sidestripe?
The Vans Sidestripe, also known as the 'jazz stripe', was originally a spontaneous doodle by founder Paul Van Doren and has become a signature design element and emblem of the Vans brand.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, canvas, and adhesive components of the shoes.
What does 'Old Skool' refer to?
'Old Skool' refers to the original Vans #36 model, launched in 1977, which introduced the now-iconic Sidestripe.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Adjust the lace-up fastening to your comfort. The padded collars provide support around the ankle. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a less constrictive fit. Wear with thicker socks initially to help break them in.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions.
Outsole seems slippery on wet surfaces
While the waffle sole offers good traction, caution is advised on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean from debris.
Laces are frayed or worn
Replace laces with new ones. Standard shoelaces of appropriate length can be used.
