FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?
Yes, the OG Old Skool LX features a durable rubber outsole and reinforced construction, making them a classic choice for skateboarding.
How do I determine the right size?
These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing; if you typically wear an 8.5 UK in casual shoes, that size should fit correctly.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is recommended to hand-clean them to prevent damage to the materials and structural adhesives.
Does this model provide arch support?
Like most traditional skate shoes, they feature a relatively flat footbed; consider adding an ergonomic insole if you require significant arch support.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the OG Old Skool LX is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for all adults.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too stiff when first worn
Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to allow the canvas and rubber components to break in and mold to your foot shape.
Dirt stains on the white sections
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mixture of mild soap and water applied with a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the affected areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans OG Old Skool LX remain in prime condition, keep them clean by gently brushing off loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the glue and materials. When sizing, note that these run true to standard UK adult sizing, such as the 8.5 UK model. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks to manage moisture, which helps prolong the life of the internal fabric lining.
