FAQs

Do these shoes run true to size?

Converse Chuck Taylors typically run large. Many users find it best to size down by half a size compared to standard athletic trainers.

Can I remove the OrthoLite insole?

Yes, the insoles are removable, which is convenient if you prefer to insert your own custom orthotics.

Are these suitable for rainy weather?

The canvas material is not waterproof, so they are better suited for dry conditions. Excessive water can also weaken the glue on the rubber soles.

How do I lace the high-top style?

You can lace them to the top for a secure fit or skip the top two eyelets for a looser, more casual look.

Are these machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash your Chuck Taylors, as the agitation and heat can damage the rubber and cause the fabric to warp.

Troubleshooting

The shoes feel tight across the midfoot.

Relace the shoes using the 'window lacing' technique to relieve pressure on the top of the foot.

White rubber sole edges are showing scuff marks.

Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with a small amount of baking soda to gently buff away surface scuffs.

Canvas looks dull after extended wear.

Use a specialized fabric refresher or a soft dry brush to remove dust and restore the original deep black hue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless, iconic design suitable for almost any casual wardrobe
  • Improved comfort with built-in OrthoLite cushioning
  • Lightweight construction perfect for all-day wear
  • Highly versatile styling options

Cons

  • Flat sole construction offers minimal arch support
  • Canvas material can be prone to staining if not protected
  • Requires a break-in period for the canvas and ankle collar

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Converse trainers stay in top condition, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

  1. Lacing: Adjust the laces firmly around the ankle for support, or leave the top eyelets open for a more relaxed aesthetic.
  2. Cleaning: Spot clean canvas with a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid machine washing to prevent the rubber foxing from separating or the canvas from shrinking.
  3. Storage: Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the black canvas.
  4. Protection: Consider using a fabric-safe water and stain repellent spray before first wear to keep the black canvas looking crisp.
