This is a wide-run (EU 35–45) Trainer Maxi low-top with beaded textile laces and brand lettering on the tongue, side and rear. Buyer reports cluster on one point: the shoe runs large, with advice ranging from half a size down to a full size or more. Settle sizing with the seller before ordering.

Pros
Cons
Fit notes
Reports lean large. One owner says the model runs 1 to 1.5 sizes up; a video reviewer who normally wears Nike US 8.5 ordered a 7 and still found it slightly big; a community note suggests half a size down; one woman took her usual EU 37 with no problem. The listing offers 35–45 — confirm your size with the seller.
Buy if
You want the rounded, oversized Trainer Maxi silhouette with beaded lace accessories, and you are prepared to size down based on the reported large fit. Suits long trousers, which buyers say balance the bulky volume better than shorts.
Skip if
You want a light, true-to-size sneaker. Buyers report this model is heavy and sizing is unsettled — advice ranges from half a size down to 1.5 sizes large, and one reviewer called sizing the trickiest part of the purchase.

Buying FAQ
Buyer reports point large but disagree on how much: one owner says 1 to 1.5 sizes, a community note says half a size down, and one woman took her usual EU 37 without issue. Treat the exact size as something to confirm with the seller.
A reviewer says the thick textile laces come laced very loosely because of the decorative bead accessories, which makes heel slip likely straight out of the box. Re-tighten them before wearing.
One reviewer describes the white/blue colourway as noticeably heavier than typical sneakers because of the thick sole and dense structure, but still bearable for walking, and suggests thicker socks to reduce heel friction.
The listing describes cowhide leather, custom textile laces with beads, brand lettering on the tongue, side and rear, a special fabric lining, and a rubber outsole. These are catalog descriptions, not independently verified.
The construction comparisons in the record cover the standard LV Trainer, not the Maxi, so they describe that model's lace, tongue-logo and stitching traits rather than this shoe.
Evidence
A reviewer of the white/blue Trainer Maxi describes it as noticeably heavier than typical sneakers because of the thick sole and dense structure, but says it is still bearable for walking and recommends thicker socks to reduce heel friction.
SourceLine-level evidence (standard LV Trainer, not the Maxi): a replica buyer's review reports the leather felt like real pebbled cowhide with no plastic smell and even stitching, but also that the pair ran large so sizing down one full size from his normal sneaker size gave the correct fit.
SourceThe Trainer Maxi ships with its thick textile laces laced very loosely because of the decorative bead accessories, which makes heel slip likely out of the box; buyers are advised to re-tighten the laces before wearing.
SourceBuyers like the Trainer Maxi's rounded 'bread shoe' volume and multicolour bead lace accessories, but the same reviewers note the silhouette really is oversized and can look top-heavy or bulky when worn with shorts, so long trousers balance it better.
SourceLine-level evidence (standard LV Trainer, not the Maxi): a replica-market factory-tier guide says mid-tier batches use domestic top-grain leather with roughly correct shape but off-colour soles and uneven midsole stitching, while top-tier '定级工厂' batches use imported calfskin whose pore distribution and sheen come much closer to retail.
SourceLine-level evidence (standard LV Trainer, not the Maxi): an authentication comparison lists the flaws that most often mark replica LV Trainers — laces that are too thin with different texture, tongue logos with the wrong colour or too-thin outline, collar padding that is too thin or too thick, and side heat-stamps that are too flat or placed too low.
SourceAn owner of the white leather LV Trainer Maxi low-top says the model runs about one to one-and-a-half sizes large, and advises buying your true/close-fitting size rather than sizing up because the shoe's weight causes heel slip when it is too big.
SourceA video reviewer who normally wears Nike US 8.5 (and a 6.5 in the standard LV Trainer) ordered the Trainer Maxi in 7 and still found it slightly too big, saying picking the right size is the trickiest part of buying this model.
