FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

The Vans Old Skool 36 LX is designed primarily for casual wear and style. While they offer good grip, they are not engineered as performance athletic shoes.

How do I clean the pony hair material?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, followed by air drying. Avoid soaking the material.

What is the main difference between Old Skool and Old Skool LX?

The 'LX' designation typically indicates a more premium or 'Luxury' version, often featuring upgraded materials, construction, or colorways compared to the standard model.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear these shoes in heavy rain. The pony hair material is sensitive to moisture and prolonged exposure to wet conditions can damage its texture and appearance.

What does 'animal pattern' refer to on this shoe?

The animal pattern refers to the distinctive markings on the pony hair uppers, mimicking natural animal prints.

What size should I order if I'm unsure?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart and consider your usual shoe size. Many users find Vans Old Skool to fit true to size, but variations can occur.

What is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of waffled rubber, providing durability and traction.

Troubleshooting

Pony hair looks matted or dirty.

Gently brush the pony hair with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the hair. For tougher dirt, use a slightly damp cloth with a minimal amount of mild soap, then allow to air dry completely.

Laces are dirty.

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent, or replace them if significantly worn.

Sole feels slippery.

Ensure the waffle pattern on the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. A light scrub with a brush and water can restore grip.

Shoe feels tight.

Leather shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially. Consider using shoe trees to help stretch them slightly.
