FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The Vans Old Skool 36 LX Pony Hair sneakers are not fully waterproof. While the leather overlays offer some resistance, the pony hair and canvas/suede components can absorb moisture. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How do I clean the pony hair?
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for suede and delicate materials, and always test on a small, hidden area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
What is the main difference between Old Skool 36 and other Old Skool models?
The '36' in Old Skool 36 often refers to an updated or reissued version, sometimes incorporating specific details or materials. The LX designation typically indicates a more premium or 'Luxury' version of the classic silhouette, often featuring enhanced materials like the pony hair in this model.
Are these suitable for professional skateboarding?
While Vans are a staple in skateboarding culture, the LX versions with premium materials like pony hair are often considered more for lifestyle and casual wear. For heavy-duty skateboarding, models designed specifically for skate performance might be more durable.
What size should I get?
Vans Old Skool shoes generally run true to size for most people. However, it's recommended to check Vans' official sizing chart or try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, these shoes should not be put in the washing machine. Machine washing can damage the materials, especially the pony hair, leather, and vulcanized sole construction, leading to irreversible damage.
What does 'LX' mean in the product name?
LX typically stands for 'Luxury' and indicates a premium version of the shoe. These models often feature higher-quality materials, enhanced construction, and more detailed finishing compared to standard versions.
Troubleshooting
Pony hair appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the affected area with a soft-bristled brush. For persistent dirt, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Leather overlays are scuffed
For minor scuffs, try a leather conditioner or cleaner. Deeper scuffs might require a leather repair kit or professional servicing.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the rubber soles are clean from dirt and debris. For new shoes, break-in period might be needed. For older shoes, wear may indicate the tread is worn down.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with a new pair of suitable length and material. Vans offers replacement laces or similar can be found at most shoe retailers.
