This listing covers the Trainer Maxi / Pudding silhouette in a white-based build, with a deep-blue limited colorway noted in the features, sizes 35–46 and 45–46 made to order. Line-level buyer reports say the shape runs large; no independent evidence covers this seller's batch. Confirm sizing and the lace details before ordering.

Pros
Cons
Fit notes
Line-level reports say the Maxi/Pudding runs large: an AJ44 / 280 mm buyer took 43 and still found it slightly loose, and a Nike US 8.5 wearer took size 7 and found it a bit big. One women's-range buyer stayed at EU37 and found it correct. Laces arrive loose — tighten before first wear.
Buy if
You want the chunky Trainer Maxi shape with a thick padded tongue and collar, and you accept the line-level advice to size down about a full size — or you sit in the 35–40 range, where one buyer found EU37 correct.
Skip if
You want a low-profile court shoe, or you need the fit to run true to a standard LV Trainer without adjustment. Also skip if you expect bead-embellished laces exactly as LV specifies for the navy limited pair.

Buying FAQ
Line-level buyer reports say the Maxi/Pudding runs large and advise sizing down about a full size, though one buyer in the 35–40 range stayed at EU37 and found it correct, so the reports aren't unanimous.
Rep-market comparison content for the Pudding lists top-grain nappa with fine natural grain, a latex rather than sponge insole, a thick bread-like tongue and a fully printed LV outsole. That guidance is general, not specific to this seller's batch.
The listing describes plain white laces, while Louis Vuitton's own product page for the navy limited Trainer Maxi specifies thick textile laces with beads spelling "LOVE" — worth confirming with listing photos.
Line-level reviews put the Maxi/Pudding outsole at roughly 4 cm, giving noticeable height while the shoe still feels light on foot.
The claims are line-level for the Maxi/Pudding silhouette plus one community review; nothing independently verifies this seller's batch, so size and trim details are the practical checks.
Evidence
Buyers of the women's Maxi colorways rate the blue, purple and grey versions as all looking cute and appealing.
SourceThe Maxi/胖丁 outsole measures roughly 4 cm thick, giving a noticeable height boost while the shoe still feels light and comfortable on foot, with a wider fit than the standard LV Trainer.
SourceFor the navy/limited LV Trainer Maxi, Louis Vuitton's own product page specifies thick textile laces embellished with Louis Vuitton beads spelling "LOVE", an oversized padded tongue and an EVA rubber outsole — so a navy limited pair is expected to carry bead-embellished thick laces rather than the plain white laces described in this listing.
SourceBuyer reviews of the Maxi/胖丁 praise its thickly padded tongue and collar and wide knit laces, which give a soft "bread shoe" feel that feels more comfortable and softer than the standard LV Trainer, on a smooth-leather upper with tidy stitching.
SourceRep-market comparison content for the 胖丁 lists the checks buyers use between batches: top-grain nappa leather with fine natural grain, wide woven laces with the LV charm, a thick bread-like tongue, a latex (not sponge) insole and a fully printed LV outsole; cheaper batches show synthetic embossed leather, flat laces, a thin tongue and sponge insole. This is general replica-QC guidance and is not specific to this seller's batch.
SourceLine-level (LV Trainer Maxi / 胖丁 silhouette, reviewed on the white-green colorway): buyers report it runs large and recommend sizing down about a full size — one buyer whose everyday size is AJ44 with a 280 mm foot bought size 43 and still found it slightly loose, while another who normally wears Nike US 8.5 (LV 6.5 in the standard LV Trainer) ordered size 7 and found it a bit big.
SourceBecause the Maxi's laces are threaded with bead charms, they arrive very loose, which lets the heel slip on the Maxi/胖丁; buyers advise tightening the laces before wearing for the first time.
SourceIn the women's size range (35-40, blue/purple/grey colorways of the Maxi), at least one buyer who normally wears EU37 stayed with 37 and found the fit correct rather than running large.
