FAQs
Are the Vans Old Skool 36 LX Pony Hair suitable for skateboarding?
While the Old Skool 36 LX features a durable construction and classic skate shoe design, the pony hair upper is a premium material not intended for the high impact and abrasion of professional skateboarding. They are best suited for casual wear and style.
How do I clean the pony hair on these sneakers?
Gently brush away dust with a soft brush. For stains, use a specialized pony hair cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, always testing on a small, hidden area first. Avoid soaking the material.
What is the 'jazz stripe' on Vans shoes?
The 'jazz stripe' (now officially called the 'sidestripe') was originally a random doodle by Vans founder Paul Van Doren. It has since become an iconic and instantly recognizable design element of Vans footwear.
What does 'LX' mean in the product name?
LX typically denotes a 'Luxury' or premium version of a Vans model. This often signifies higher quality materials, enhanced construction details, or special editions.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
The pony hair and leather materials are not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing these sneakers in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and prevent damage.
What is the Ortholite® insole for?
Ortholite® insoles are designed to provide long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, contributing to overall comfort throughout the day.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight. There should be a small amount of space at the toe, and your heel should not slip excessively when walking. Try them on at the end of the day when feet are slightly larger.
Troubleshooting
Pony hair appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the pony hair with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the hair to restore its texture. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and a specialized pony hair cleaner if necessary.
Leather overlays are creased
Minor creases can often be reduced by wearing the shoes regularly. For deeper creases, try inserting shoe trees or stuffing the shoes when not in use to help maintain their shape.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. If the wear pattern on the sole suggests significant smoothing, a cobbler might be able to add grip.
Color transfer from pony hair
This is rare but possible with darker dyes. Ensure the shoes are dry. If you notice transfer onto socks, allow the shoes to air out for longer periods or consider a protective spray specifically for this material type.
