A blue LV Trainer-style low-top in a retro basketball shape, offered in sizes 35–45. Public feedback is line-level on the LV Trainer itself, not on this listing: sizing reports genuinely split, and blue colorways are described as stiff out of the box. Settle the size with an exchange option in hand.

Pros
Cons
Fit notes
LV's own pages say the Trainer runs large and recommend a full size down; regional pages say half. Owner conversions also land half to a full down, while other guides say true to size or up half on rigid leather — and one owner found width and length disagreed across three sizes. The toe box runs narrow.
Buy if
You want the white-and-blue retro-basketball look that owners describe as clean and easy to style, and you accept adding a cushioned insole — buyers of the blue colorway call that the standard comfort fix. Best if you can try sizes locally or exchange rather than commit blind.
Skip if
You need genuine cushioning tech or a soft-riding shoe out of the box; the Trainer line carries rubber and foam in the sole and some owners rate comfort mid. Also skip if you want one settled size answer, since the sizing record here is split.

Buying FAQ
The record points both ways: LV's own product pages recommend a full size down, several regional pages say half a size down, and a pre-owned marketplace guide says true to size or up half on rigid leather. Buyer conversions cluster half to a full size down, but one owner found three sizes each flawed differently.
Owners of the blue denim and blue-and-white Trainer describe it as stiff despite its looks, and a softer or cushioned insole is the reported fix. Separately, a long-wear write-up on the low-top Trainer notes a stiff upper, heel abrasion on the first wear, and no cushioning tech in the sole.
Not reliably. One owner found white/black pairs much less padded and much roomier than a more heavily padded colorway in the same nominal size, and a full-print calf leather version was reported around half a size small — so Trainer sizing shifts with material and padding.
The listing marks size 46 as made to order and non-returnable; the standard run is listed as 35 through 45.
White-soled LV sneakers are reported to yellow within months under UV and heat exposure, with storage out of direct sun and the supplied dust bag as the suggested precaution. Leather pairs in humid climates are also reported to risk mould if boxed while damp.
Evidence
The white/blue Trainer colorway is repeatedly praised as clean, easy to style and summer-appropriate, with the blue accents described as versatile enough to wear with almost anything.
SourceWhite-soled LV sneakers are reported to yellow within months under UV/heat exposure, so owners are advised to store them out of direct sun and heat and to use the supplied dust bag; leather pairs in humid climates also risk mould if boxed while damp and should be aired out.
SourceFor the blue-and-white Trainer, adding a cushioned insole with arch support is reported to solve two problems at once — comfort on hard ground and the slightly-too-large, heel-slipping fit of the blue colorway — with the 2.5 cm version still leaving enough room inside.
SourceA first-hand long-wear write-up on the low-top Trainer says the upper is stiff out of the box and causes heel abrasion on the first wear, is noticeably heavier than an ordinary skate-style sneaker, and has no performance cushioning tech — just rubber and foam in the sole.
SourceOwners of the blue denim/blue-and-white Trainer specifically describe the shoe as stiff despite its looks, and say swapping in a softer insole is the standard fix for comfort.
SourceLine-level comfort is polarised in owner threads: complaints include no ventilation holes so all-leather pairs get very hot and a sole described as brick-like with an insole swap as the only remedy, while other owners in the same thread say it is actually one of the more wearable luxury sneakers and not especially heavy.
SourceLine-level leather behavior: the Trainer's calf/grained leather is hard initially and needs wear time to soften and mold to the foot, which buyers report makes early fit feel tighter and later fit looser — so an initial snug fit is not a reliable signal that the size is wrong.
SourceOwner review of the white-cement (white leather) Trainer notes a long, slightly narrow shape and a stiff feel out of the box — rated comfortable only as a three-out-of-five, though considered softer than comparable chunky designer sneakers.
