Product Information

Full details

The Vans Lx Old Skool 36 trainers are designed for individuals who appreciate the authentic 1977 skater aesthetic combined with a pre-distressed, vintage visual style. These shoes provide excellent durability through double-stitched construction and consistent comfort via padded collars and foam insoles, making them an ideal choice for daily wear. One important caveat is that the upper material has been intentionally treated to look dirty and worn, which may not appeal to those seeking a pristine, clean aesthetic right out of the box.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard sizing conventions for Vans Old Skool models.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

It is strongly recommended against, as machine washing will ruin the unique grease treatment on the suede upper.

Are these suitable for professional skateboarding?

While based on heritage skate silhouettes, this specific model features decorative treatments meant for casual fashion wear.

What does the paint splatter signify?

The paint splatter is a design feature intended to mimic a studio-floor aesthetic, adding to the lived-in look.

How do I remove mud from the shoes?

Allow the mud to dry completely and then gently brush it off with a soft, dry brush.

Troubleshooting

The suede looks unevenly colored

This is part of the intentional grease treatment process to ensure a unique, worn-in vintage look.

Difficulty putting on the shoe

Ensure the laces are fully loosened, as the double-stitched eyestay provides a secure, snug fit that can feel stiff initially.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic vintage design based on 1977 specs
  • High-quality suede construction
  • Comfortable padded collar for daily use
  • Unique, distressed aesthetic that hides daily wear

Cons

  • Distressed look may appear intentionally dirty
  • Requires careful cleaning to maintain the treated surface
  • Not intended for those looking for a clean, brand-new look

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Vans Lx Old Skool 36 trainers require no special setup; simply lace them up and enjoy. Due to the intentional grease treatment on the suede, standard heavy scrubbing is discouraged as it may alter the intended 'dirty' aesthetic. To care for them, use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this will damage the finish. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the integrity of the foam insole.
