Full details

These high-tops offer excellent ankle support and a durable construction that stands up to daily wear, making them a versatile choice for school or play. While the canvas material provides great breathability, potential buyers should note that the high-top style requires a bit of extra effort to lace up compared to slip-on alternatives.

FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash Converse trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the best way to maintain their shape and durability.

Do these trainers provide arch support?

These shoes feature a classic flat sole. If your child requires specific orthopedic arch support, you may wish to add an aftermarket insole.

Are these suitable for sports like football?

These are lifestyle trainers intended for casual wear. They do not have the specialized traction or protection required for contact sports.

How do I know if the size 4.5 fits correctly?

When the child is standing, there should be roughly 10-15mm of space between the longest toe and the front of the shoe.

Do these shoes get hot in the summer?

The canvas upper is breathable, which helps keep feet cool, though they will naturally be warmer than open-toed sandals.

Can I replace the laces?

Yes, standard flat or round shoelaces can be used as replacements if the original laces wear out.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Double-knot the laces or swap them for textured laces that grip better.

Canvas becoming discoloured

Use a specialized canvas cleaner and a soft brush to gently lift dirt; avoid harsh bleaching agents.

Stiff ankle collar during break-in

Wear slightly thicker socks for the first few days to provide cushioning while the material softens.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe to allow for natural growth and comfort.
  2. Lacing: Adjust the laces to a snug but comfortable tension; avoid over-tightening around the ankle to maintain circulation.
  3. Cleaning: Spot clean the canvas upper with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the glue and structural integrity.
  4. Air Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the rubber components.
