FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?
While the Sk8-Hi offers good support, the Vault OG LX is primarily designed for lifestyle wear. For demanding skateboarding, consider models specifically engineered for performance.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to Vans' official size chart, which typically aligns UK sizing with US sizing and foot measurements in centimeters or inches.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
These shoes are not waterproof. While they offer some protection, prolonged exposure to rain may saturate the materials. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy wet conditions.
What is the difference between the Vault OG line and standard Vans?
The Vault OG line features premium materials, enhanced construction techniques, and often unique colorways or collaborations, offering a more elevated version of classic Vans silhouettes.
How often should I clean my Vans Vault OG Sk8-Hi LX?
Clean your shoes as needed, focusing on removing dirt and scuffs after wear. Over-cleaning can degrade the materials.
Are these unisex shoes?
While designed with a gender-neutral aesthetic, this specific listing is for men's sizing (UK 13). Please check other listings for different size ranges or unisex options.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or stiff
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.
Soles detaching slightly
For minor separation, a specialized shoe adhesive can be used. Ensure the area is clean and dry before application. For significant detachment, consult a professional cobbler.
Material discoloration or damage from cleaning
Always use mild cleaning agents and a soft cloth. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid prolonged exposure to water.
