FAQs

How do I clean the pony hair on these Vans?

Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a very mild soap solution, then blot and air dry. Avoid soaking or using harsh chemicals.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these sneakers are not waterproof. The pony hair and leather materials can be damaged by excessive moisture.

What is the 'jazz stripe'?

The 'jazz stripe' is the iconic side stripe found on Vans shoes, originally a random doodle by founder Paul Van Doren.

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

The 'LX' designation typically indicates a premium or deluxe version, often featuring upgraded materials or construction compared to the standard model, such as the pony hair and leather in this case.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Try them on with the type of socks you would normally wear. Ensure there is comfortable space at the toe, and the heel does not slip. Consider the product's sizing guide if available.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

It is not recommended to wear these sneakers in wet weather as the pony hair and leather can be susceptible to water damage and staining.

What does 'High Foxing Tape' refer to?

High foxing tape is the rubber strip that runs along the side of the shoe, above the sole. It reinforces the seam between the upper and the sole, adding durability.

Troubleshooting

Pony hair becoming matted or dirty

Gently brush the pony hair with a soft bristle brush to lift dirt. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a minimal amount of mild soap, and blot gently. Ensure the shoes are air-dried completely.

Laces showing wear

Inspect laces regularly. Replace if frayed or damaged to maintain the shoe's appearance and integrity.

Soles losing grip

Ensure the soles are clean from debris. Minor loss of grip can sometimes be restored by lightly abrading the sole surface with fine-grit sandpaper, but use with caution.

Discomfort due to sizing

If the shoes feel too tight or loose, try adjusting the lacing. For persistent discomfort, consider using insoles or professional stretching services if the fit is slightly off.
