FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Vans Old Skool 36 LX generally fits true to standard adult sizing.

Can I replace the Sola Foam ADC insole?

The insole is removable, allowing you to swap it for custom orthotics if required.

How do I clean the tweed sidestripe?

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust. Do not saturate the tweed with water.

Is the distressing on the midsole removable?

No, the distressing is a factory-applied finish meant to be a permanent feature of this series.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of canvas and leather overlays.

Troubleshooting

Pins are loose or falling off

Ensure the backing mechanism is fully locked in place; if the pin back becomes loose, replace it with a standard locking clutch.

Midsole looks too dirty

The pre-scuffed aesthetic is intentional; however, if you wish to clean it, use a damp cloth without abrasive chemicals to maintain the distressed texture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality material blend of leather and canvas
  • Enhanced comfort provided by the Sola Foam ADC insole
  • Distinctive vintage-style aesthetic with pre-scuffed detailing
  • Includes customizable elements like removable pins

Cons

  • Distressed look is permanent and not for those seeking a polished look
  • Suede or leather overlays require specific care compared to basic canvas
  • Limited stock availability due to the collectible LX series nature

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate socks for your activity level, as the padded collar provides a snug fit around the heel. To maintain the shoes, avoid machine washing; instead, spot-clean the canvas with a soft brush and mild soap. Leather overlays should be treated with a leather-appropriate cleaner to prevent cracking. Given the pins, it is recommended to keep them in a safe place if you choose to remove them for a cleaner look or for activities where they might snag. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the blue color depth.
