Is the Louis Vuitton Skate Noir true to size?

Most owners say it fits true to size. If you have wide feet, some report it feels narrow, so consider trying it on first.

What is the upper made of?

Pony-style calf leather with technical mesh panels, laced up, on a rubber outsole with Monogram Flowers. It is made in Italy.

How does it compare with the LV Trainer?

The Skate Noir is lower and more understated, with a skate-shoe shape and mesh panels. The LV Trainer is chunkier and more of a statement shoe.

Can I wear it in rain?

It is not a weatherproof shoe. The pony-style leather and mesh can mark or soak in wet conditions, so keep it for dry days.

How should I care for it?

Brush the pony-style leather gently and wipe the mesh with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking it and let it air-dry away from direct heat.

Our take on the Louis Vuitton Skate Noir

The Louis Vuitton Skate Noir is a low-top luxury sneaker in black pony-style calf leather with technical mesh panels, laced and finished on a rubber outsole with Monogram Flowers. It is made in Italy and sits at the fashion end of the skate-shoe silhouette, closer to a designer trainer than a performance shoe. Buyers rate it very highly, praising the leather, the clean all-black look and the comfort for a designer sneaker. Against rivals like the LV Trainer or a Balenciaga skate style, it is the more understated, easier-to-wear option.
