FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
No, these are casual lifestyle trainers and do not provide the cushioning or arch support required for long-distance running.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers use standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the size you wear in other similar canvas or casual sneaker brands.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth or soft brush is the safest way to maintain the quality of the shoes.
Is the design unisex?
Yes, the LX Old Skool 36 Souvenir is designed for all genders.
How do I prevent the shoes from developing an odor?
Allow your shoes to air out completely after wearing them, and consider using moisture-absorbing inserts if you wear them without socks.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feeling stiff during the first wear
Wear them indoors for short periods with thicker socks to gently stretch the materials.
Accumulation of surface dust
Use a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth to gently wipe the exterior surface.
Soles feeling slippery on new surfaces
The rubber sole may need a small amount of wear on rougher pavement to gain optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans LX Old Skool 36 Souvenir trainers last, it is important to follow basic maintenance steps. As these are largely made of textile and durable materials, avoid machine washing, which can degrade the glue and structural integrity. Instead, spot clean with a soft brush and mild soap. For compatibility, ensure you select your standard UK size; if you plan on wearing thicker athletic socks, consider how this affects the internal volume. Keep the shoes in a dry, ventilated area away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material fading and odor buildup.
