FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

No, they are made of canvas, which is a porous material. They are best suited for dry weather conditions.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the OrthoLite insoles are removable, making it easy to swap them out or air them out after a long day.

Do these shoes provide good arch support?

They provide basic support suitable for casual wear, but they are relatively flat. Those needing high arch support may want to add custom insoles.

How do I clean the white rubber toe cap?

A damp cloth with mild soap or a specialized rubber cleaner works best to keep the white toe cap looking fresh.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The canvas upper has some natural flexibility, but the standard fit is considered medium. You may want to loosen the laces significantly for a better fit.

Troubleshooting

Canvas becomes stained

Use a soft brush and a mixture of mild detergent and water to spot clean the area, then rinse with a clean damp cloth.

Insole feels worn out

The OrthoLite insoles are removable; you can replace them with third-party orthotic inserts if you require additional arch support.

Rubber edges turning yellow

Use a magic eraser or a mixture of baking soda and water on a toothbrush to gently scrub the rubber toe cap and side walls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Converse trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care tips. For minor dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently wipe the canvas. Avoid placing them in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the rubber bonding. Ensure they air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the canvas from stiffening or shrinking. For sizing, these shoes typically run true to the standard UK adult size 8.5, but keep in mind that the material will slightly stretch and contour to your foot shape after the initial break-in period.
