FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Vans Comme des Garçons x OG Authentic LX generally follows standard Vans sizing. It is recommended to check reviews or try them on if possible, as fit can vary slightly between individuals. The provided size is UK 5.5.

What are the primary materials used?

While specific details can vary, the OG Authentic LX models typically feature canvas uppers and rubber soles. This collaboration may incorporate premium elements, as indicated by the LX designation.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Using the original box or a shoe bag can help maintain their condition and protect the unique print.

Can I wear these for physical activities like skateboarding?

While they are built on a skate-inspired silhouette, the 'LX' designation and collaborative nature suggest these are more suited for fashion and casual wear rather than rigorous athletic activity. For serious skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes are recommended.

What does 'CDG Print' refer to?

'CDG Print' refers to the distinctive geometric pattern designed by or associated with Comme des Garçons, one of the collaborating brands.

How do I clean the geometric print?

Clean the print gently with a soft, damp cloth and a very mild soap solution if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which could damage the pattern.

Troubleshooting

Slight color transfer from dark socks

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Wearing darker socks initially or washing the inside of the shoe with a very mild detergent and cold water may help reduce this. Ensure shoes are fully dry before wearing.

Creasing on the toe box

Creasing is natural with worn leather or canvas. To minimize its appearance, consider using shoe trees when not in use, or try products designed to reduce creases on footwear.

Dirt on the white rubber sole

Use a magic eraser or a melamine sponge with a bit of water. For tougher grime, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied and gently scrubbed with a soft brush, then wiped clean.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique and eye-catching design through the Comme des Garçons collaboration.
  • Classic Vans silhouette provides comfort and a timeless look.
  • Versatile unisex sizing suitable for a wide range of wearers.
  • High-quality construction typical of LX models.

Cons

  • Requires careful cleaning and maintenance due to the distinctive pattern and white base.
  • May be considered a fashion item rather than a performance shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: As footwear, these trainers require no setup. Simply lace them to your preferred tightness.

Compatibility: These unisex trainers are designed to be compatible with a wide range of casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, skirts, and casual trousers. Their versatility makes them suitable for various personal styles.

Care:

  • Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains on the canvas or rubber sole, use a mild soap solution with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the material and print.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, which can cause fading or material degradation.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and potential damage. Avoid storing in humid conditions.
