FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
While inspired by Vans' skate heritage and featuring durable construction like high foxing tape, the premium pony hair material is best preserved with light to moderate use. They are ideal for casual wear and light recreational skating.
How do I clean the pony hair?
Use a soft brush to remove dust. For stains, lightly dampen a cloth with water and mild soap, gently wipe the affected area, and allow to air dry completely. Avoid excessive moisture.
What is the 'Jazz Stripe'?
The 'Jazz Stripe' (originally called the 'side stripe') was an early Vans design element, initially a random doodle by founder Paul Van Doren, that became an iconic feature of many Vans shoes.
Do these shoes have good arch support?
The Vans Old Skool 36 LX features an Ortholite® insole, which provides cushioning and some level of support for casual wear. For extensive arch support needs, consider adding custom insoles.
What material are the overlays made of?
The overlays are typically made of leather, providing structure and durability to complement the pony hair upper.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It's recommended to try them on if possible. Vans often fit true to size, but personal preference for fit (snug vs. roomy) can vary. Check the brand's sizing guide if purchasing online.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the pony hair and leather materials are not inherently waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try adding a powder-free drying agent like talcum powder under the insole.
Material appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the pony hair with a soft-bristled brush. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth with a very mild soap, and then let it air dry completely.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Wearing appropriate socks can also help prevent rubbing.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber sole with water and a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting grip.
