The shoe features an upper made from durable 8oz canvas and pig suede, with a synthetic sole.

Are these shoes suitable for skateboarding?

How do I clean the pink 'Coral Blush' suede?

Use a soft suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a dedicated suede cleaner is recommended, applied according to product directions. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.

What does 'LX' signify in the product name?

The 'LX' designation often indicates a more premium or specialized version of a classic Vans model, sometimes featuring upgraded materials or construction details.

What kind of support does the midsole offer?

The shoe is equipped with a SOLA FOAM ADC midsole, described as anti-fatigue and bio-based, designed to provide lasting comfort for everyday wear.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, like most low-top shoes, they are designed to be worn with or without socks, depending on personal preference and weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Stiff or uncomfortable out of the box

The shoe may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your foot.

Suede appears dirty or matted

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stubborn marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow instructions carefully.
