FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though the narrow fit of the Chuck Taylor design is worth considering if you have wider feet.

Can I put my Converse in the washing machine?

It is generally not recommended as the machine cycle can damage the canvas, the rubber adhesive, and the eyelets.

Are these suitable for sports?

While originally designed for basketball in the early 20th century, they do not provide the cushioning, support, or traction required for modern sports.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is crafted from durable, high-quality canvas.

Do these provide arch support?

No, they feature a traditional flat sole. If you require arch support, consider using a thin, removable insole inside the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Canvas becoming dirty or discolored

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild detergent to gently scrub the canvas.

Shoes feeling too tight initially

Loosen the laces to relieve pressure. Canvas typically softens and stretches slightly to accommodate the foot shape after a few days of wear.

Rubber sole edges losing their whiteness

Wipe the rubber edges with a magic eraser or a mixture of baking soda and water to restore the original appearance.

  • Bold, vibrant colorway stands out in a crowd

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Converse trainers remain in good condition, follow these simple care guidelines:

  1. Sizing: These shoes are available in UK adult sizes; always ensure you are selecting the size corresponding to your current fit, as canvas may stretch slightly over time.
  2. Cleaning: Spot clean the canvas upper using a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes fully, as this can degrade the glue and shape.
  3. Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the rubber from warping.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the canvas material.
