VANS PS Old Skool V Check Camo: Sizing and Fit for Kids

Quick answer

For the VANS PS Old Skool V Check Camo, order your child's usual size based on foot length, but expect a snug fit at first due to the padded collar and dual hook-and-loop strap closure.

Step-by-step sizing guide

1. Measure your child's foot: Place their foot on a piece of paper against a wall, mark the longest toe, and measure the distance in centimeters. Do this at the end of the day when feet are slightly swollen. Common mistake: measuring while sitting. Feet spread when standing, so always measure standing.
2. Check the Vans size chart: Compare the measured length to Vans' official size chart for PS (pre-school) sizing. The PS Old Skool V runs true to length, so match the measurement to the corresponding US size. Checkpoint: if your child is between sizes, choose the larger size for growing room.
3. Try on with the hook-and-loop straps: After putting the shoe on, tighten the straps so the heel stays in place but toes have a thumb's width of space. The padded collar can feel tight initially, but it will soften after a few wears. Common mistake: overtightening the straps to fix a loose heel. If the heel slips even when straps are snug, the shoe is too big.
