Quick verdict

This is a high-top LV Trainer in black with a cow-leather upper and a Monogram-print TPU outsole, stocked in EU 38–44 with 45/46 made to order. Independent reports cover the Trainer line, not this listing: expect a firm, unventilated sole and split sizing advice. Ask the seller for insole length before ordering.

Pros

  • · Catalog material describes an imported cow-leather upper with complex construction and a private-mold TPU outsole printed with the Monogram floral motif.
  • · The listing describes the high-top as not reading bulky on foot.
  • · One Shihuo owner reports genuinely good build quality and leather/detail control on the Trainer line.
  • · Standard stock covers EU 38–44, with 45/46 offered as made-to-order.

Cons

  • · Multiple owners describe the Trainer sole as hard and brick-like with essentially no cushioning, with comfort becoming acceptable only after adding an aftermarket insole.
  • · Owners report no ventilation holes, so the shoe runs hot and stuffy in warm weather.
  • · A Shihuo reviewer lists a narrow last unfriendly to wide feet and calls it a look-first shoe that isn't ideal for daily commuting.
  • · A buyer couple's store review describes a small crack in the toe leather on a brand-new boutique pair that staff acknowledged as a QC issue.

Fit notes

LV's own Trainer pages say the style runs large and recommend one size down, though the high-top isn't called out separately. Buyers report roughly 1–1.5 EU sizes below their Nike size; some wide-footed or high-instep wearers go half a size up. Ask for insole length.

Buy if

You want the high-top Trainer silhouette in black and the leather-and-Monogram-sole look, you don't need cushioning or breathability, and you're willing to confirm sizing with the seller before ordering.

Skip if

You need cushioned, breathable shoes for long days standing or commuting, or you have wide feet or a high instep and won't verify insole length and last width first.

Buying FAQ

Common questions

Does the LV Trainer high-top run large?⌄

LV's own Trainer pages say the style runs large and recommend one size down, and buyers report drops of about 1–1.5 EU sizes from Nike sizing. The high-top isn't singled out on those pages, so treat it as a starting point rather than a rule.

How does it hold up for all-day wear?⌄

Multiple Trainer owners describe a hard sole with essentially no cushioning and no ventilation holes, so it runs firm and hot. One owner rates build quality highly but calls on-foot comfort only average.

Do buyers agree on sizing?⌄

No. Reports split between sizing down one to 1.5 sizes and, for wide feet or high insteps, going half a size up; the spread appears to track foot width. A slim-footed buyer found the recommended size had no room at all.

Which sizes does this listing carry?⌄

EU 38–44 are listed as standard, with 45 and 46 offered as made-to-order. LV's own chart for the Trainer High runs higher, so larger-footed buyers should confirm the custom option before ordering.

What should I check before paying?⌄

Ask for actual insole length, then check the toe leather for cracks, stitching for even spacing with no skipped stitches at the curves, and Monogram repeats lining up at the seams. A well-built pair should feel substantial in hand rather than hollow.

Size availability: this listing stocks EU 38–44 as standard with 45/46 listed as made-to-order/custom, while LV's own size chart for the Trainer High runs from EU 38 up to about EU 47–48, so larger-footed buyers should confirm the custom option before ordering.

Line-level (LV Trainer): another 识货 owner says the build quality and detail work are genuinely good (leather/detail control), but on-foot comfort is only average and the shoe is stiff, so it is worth buying for quality and status rather than comfort.

Line-level (LV Trainer): a buyer couple's store review advises inspecting the leather at the toe before paying — a brand-new pair at a boutique had a small crack in the front leather and staff acknowledged it as a QC issue.

Line-level authenticity/QC check for the Trainer: stitching should be evenly spaced with an information-consistent tilt and no skipped stitches at the curves, the Monogram repeats should line up exactly at the seams, and a well-built pair should feel substantial in hand rather than hollow/light.

sizing · tip · 80% confidence

Line-level (LV Trainer): Louis Vuitton's own Trainer product pages state the style runs large and recommend selecting one size down from your usual size; this applies to the Trainer last/low trainers, and the high-top variant is not separately called out on those pages.
