FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash Converse trainers, as it can damage the adhesive and material structure. Spot cleaning is the safest method.

Do these shoes come with arch support?

They feature an OrthoLite cushioned insole for comfort, but they do not provide medical-grade arch support.

What material is the upper part made of?

The upper is constructed from durable, breathable cotton canvas.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

These trainers follow standard UK children's sizing; it is best to measure the foot in the afternoon when it is at its largest and leave a little room for growth.

Can these be worn in wet weather?

While the rubber sole provides good grip, the canvas material is not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.

Are these suitable for sports?

They are ideal for general activity and school use, but they are not intended for high-impact sports like sprinting or court sports.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure a double knot is used, or replace standard laces with slightly textured or longer alternatives.

Canvas becoming dull or dirty

Use a specialized canvas cleaner and a soft sponge, then allow to air dry completely.

Rubber edges losing whiteness

Gently scrub the rubber toe cap and midsole with a mixture of baking soda and water using an old toothbrush.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile black design matches almost any outfit
  • Lightweight and breathable material construction
  • Proven durable design suitable for active children
  • Provides reliable grip and stability
  • Adjustable fit through traditional lacing

Cons

  • Canvas material can be difficult to clean once stained
  • High-top style may be more time-consuming to put on than slip-ons
  • Limited arch support compared to dedicated athletic performance shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longest lifespan for your trainers, begin by loosening the laces fully before putting them on to avoid stressing the back heel tab. These shoes fit true to standard children's sizes, but if you intend to wear them with thick socks, you may consider checking the fit carefully.

Care Instructions:

  1. For light surface dirt, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud.
  2. For deeper cleaning, spot clean the cotton canvas with a mild soap and a damp cloth.
  3. Avoid placing these shoes in a washing machine, as this can weaken the adhesives and affect the rubber foxing.
  4. Always air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the rubber from cracking or the canvas from shrinking.
