FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for actual skateboarding?
While inspired by skate shoes and featuring a durable sole, the premium pony hair and leather materials are best suited for casual wear and light skate use. For intense skateboarding, consider models specifically designed for the sport.
How do I clean the pony hair material?
Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a specialized pony hair or suede cleaner sparingly with a clean cloth, and allow to air dry.
What is the 'jazz stripe'?
The 'jazz stripe' is the iconic side stripe on Vans shoes, originally a doodle by the founder Paul Van Doren.
What are the insoles made of?
The shoes feature an Ortholite® insole, known for providing enhanced cushioning and comfort.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the pony hair and leather, and affect the shoe's construction.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the product's size chart and compare it with your UK or European shoe size. Measuring your foot length can provide the most accurate comparison.
What is the main difference between this LX model and standard Old Skool?
The LX (Luxury or Level) designation typically indicates premium materials, enhanced construction, or special collaborations compared to standard models.
Troubleshooting
Pony hair looks matted or dirty
Use a soft brush to gently brush the pony hair in its natural direction. For stubborn dirt, use a dedicated pony hair cleaner and a soft cloth, applying it lightly.
Leather overlays scuffed
For minor scuffs, a leather conditioner or a specific leather cleaner for footwear can help buff them out. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Shoes feel tight after wearing
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If they are slightly tight, wearing them with thicker socks for a short period or using shoe stretchers can help.
Soles have lost grip
Clean the rubber sole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.
