FAQs

Are these suitable for professional skateboarding?

While they feature a vulcanized sole and good grip, the pony hair material is more suited for casual wear and light skateboarding. For advanced or professional skateboarding, more durable, performance-oriented skate shoes might be a better choice.

How do I clean the pony hair material?

Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a specialized pony hair cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, being careful not to saturate the material. Always air dry naturally.

What is the main difference between these and standard Old Skool models?

The primary difference is the use of a pony hair upper, which provides a unique texture and aesthetic compared to the standard canvas or suede.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the design is considered unisex, suitable for adults of any gender.

What does 'LX' stand for in Old Skool 36 LX?

LX typically denotes a 'Luxury' or premium version of a standard model, often featuring enhanced materials or construction details.

How does the Ortholite® insole contribute to comfort?

The Ortholite® insole provides enhanced cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, contributing to long-lasting comfort for the wearer.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these sneakers in heavy wet conditions, as the pony hair and leather materials are not inherently waterproof and could be damaged by excessive moisture.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole, or check if laces are too tight.

Pony hair looks matted or dirty

Gently brush the pony hair with a soft bristle brush in the direction of the hair. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized pony hair cleaner and follow product instructions.

Sole starting to detach

For minor detachment, a specialized shoe adhesive can be used. For significant detachment, professional repair or replacement might be necessary. Ensure proper care to prevent this.
