FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for heavy skateboarding?

While they feature Vans' signature grip and a durable sole, the premium pony hair material is best suited for lifestyle wear and light skateboarding. For heavy use, consider Vans models designed specifically for skateboarding.

How do I clean the pony hair material?

Gently brush with a soft brush to remove dust. For dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking.

What is the difference between Old Skool 36 LX and standard Old Skool?

The 'LX' designation typically indicates a premium or 'Luxury' version, often featuring upgraded materials like the pony hair and leather lining seen in this model, compared to the standard canvas or suede versions.

Are these unisex shoes?

While listed as 'Male' in some attributes, the Old Skool silhouette is widely considered unisex and is often worn by individuals of all genders. Check the specific sizing for the best fit.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is not recommended to wear these shoes in heavy rain. The pony hair material can be damaged by excessive moisture, and may lead to water spots or matting.

What is the grip like on these shoes?

These shoes feature Vans' classic waffled rubber outsole, which provides reliable traction and grip suitable for everyday walking and light activities.

How durable is the pony hair material?

Pony hair is a natural material that offers a unique aesthetic but requires more careful handling than synthetic materials. With proper care, it can maintain its appearance, but it is more prone to scuffs or damage from rough use.

Troubleshooting

Pony hair appears matted or dirty

Gently brush the pony hair with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the grain. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Shoes feel stiff initially

Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. The leather lining will soften with wear.

Water spots on pony hair

If the shoes get wet, blot them immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, use a soft brush to restore the texture.
