Our take on the Vans Old Skool 36 LX

The Vans Old Skool 36 LX is a premium take on the classic Old Skool, built with a mix of canvas, suede and leather on a rubber waffle outsole. The LX tag marks it as a Vault by Vans or premium-tier release, so materials and detailing sit above the standard Old Skool. It is a lace-up casual sneaker in off white, sized here at men's 9½ medium width. It suits people who want the familiar sidestripe silhouette with nicer materials rather than a technical running shoe.

Questions and answers

Is the Old Skool 36 LX worth it over the standard Old Skool?
If you want better materials and a more premium finish, yes. If you just want the silhouette at a lower price, the standard Old Skool does the same job.
How does the Old Skool 36 LX fit?
It generally fits true to size for most people, though some with wider feet size up half a size. This listing is men's 9½ medium width.
Is it good for skateboarding?
It can handle light skating, but it is a lifestyle shoe. A dedicated skate model with reinforced ollie panels and a cushioned insole is better for regular sessions.
How do I clean the off-white suede and canvas?
Brush suede dry with a suede brush and spot-clean canvas with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing, which can warp the sole and upper.
What is in the box?
You get the pair of sneakers with the laces already fitted. Extra laces and a dust bag are not standard.
When is the best time to buy?
Premium LX colorways tend to drop in price at end-of-season sales and when a new colorway replaces them. Watch the price history rather than buying at full price.
