FAQs
What makes the Old Skool 36 LX Pony Hair different from other Old Skool models?
The primary difference is the use of a premium pony hair upper, which provides a unique texture and luxurious aesthetic compared to the standard canvas or suede uppers found on other Old Skool models. It also features leather collar lining and potentially upgraded insoles.
How do I properly clean the pony hair material?
Use a soft brush to gently remove dirt. For stains, use a specialized pony hair cleaner and a soft cloth, always brushing in the direction of the hair. Avoid water saturation.
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
While they share the classic Old Skool silhouette and vulcanized sole construction beneficial for skating, the premium pony hair upper is delicate and may not withstand the abrasion of regular skateboarding. They are better suited for casual wear.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these shoes in wet conditions. The pony hair and leather materials can be damaged by excessive moisture, leading to discoloration, matting, or structural issues.
What does 'LX' stand for in the model name?
'LX' typically denotes a 'Luxury' or premium version of a standard model, often indicating higher quality materials, more detailed construction, or special editions.
How does the Ortholite® insole enhance comfort?
Ortholite® insoles are known for their cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, providing long-lasting comfort and helping to keep feet dry.
Where does the 'jazz stripe' design come from?
The iconic side stripe, referred to as the 'jazz stripe' by Vans founder Paul Van Doren, was originally a random doodle that became a signature design element of the Old Skool line.
Troubleshooting
Pony hair appears matted or dirty
Gently brush the pony hair with a soft-bristled brush in the direction of the hair. For stubborn dirt, use a specialized pony hair cleaner and a soft cloth.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the rubber soles are clean. For new shoes, break them in on a rougher surface. The waffled pattern provides grip, but excessive wear can reduce traction.
Leather components are scuffed
For minor scuffs on leather, a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner may help restore the finish. For deeper scuffs, professional repair might be needed.
Shoe odor
Remove the insoles and allow them to air out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then tap it out. Regular airing also helps.
