Levis Jeans 501® '90s ANKLE Blue Jeans Women

It is the American brand founded in 1873 by Levi Strauss, inventor of the copper-riveted jean.

The 501 is the original Levi’s jean with button fly and straight cut, launched in 1890 and never out of production.

Unwashed denim can shrink slightly on the first hot wash; in cold the shrinkage is minimal.

Inside out, cold or 30°, washing rarely to preserve colour and stiffness; air-dry, no tumble dryer.

It is the fit code: each number indicates a different fit, from the straight 501 to the slim 511.

Levi’s sneakers often use denim canvas in the brand’s style, but they are real footwear with rubber soles.

The two-horse patch symbolises the strength of the original jeans: two horses pulling without tearing them.

No: beyond jeans and apparel it also makes shoes, belts and accessories.

Raw denim fades naturally with wear, creating the signature lived-in effect — intentional, not a defect.

Jean sizes are in inches (W/L) which convert; shoes use standard European sizes.

Clean and fully dry, stuffed with paper to keep the shape, in an aired place away from heat and humidity.

Air the shoes after use, take out the insole if removable and let it dry; specific shoe deodorants also exist.

No: direct heat deforms glue and materials. Always air-dry them, even if it takes longer.

With laces of similar length and thickness to the originals; take the old lace as a size reference.

If the model has a removable insole, yes: it can be swapped for an insole of the same size or a doctor-advised one.

Yes: stuff them with socks or paper to keep the shape and pack them in a bag separate from clothes.

When the tread pattern is smooth on the contact zones, or the shoe leans sideways when placed on the floor.

Some leather models soften with wear; feeling them stiffer in the first days is normal.

It depends on the material: treated leather tolerates light rain; suede and canvas should be protected or avoided in heavy water.

A cobbler can stretch that exact spot, or you can use shoe-stretch sprays and trees.
