FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though some users prefer a half-size down if they enjoy a tighter fit.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended, as machine washing can damage the vulcanized bond and cause premature wear to the eyelets.

Is the OrthoLite insole removable?

Yes, the OrthoLite cushioning is designed to be removable if you wish to use custom orthotics.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

While the rubber soles provide good grip, the canvas upper is not waterproof and may allow water to seep through in heavy rain.

Do these provide good arch support?

They offer more support than classic flat-sole sneakers due to the OrthoLite cushioning, but they are not categorized as orthopedic support shoes.

Troubleshooting

Laces constantly coming untied

Due to the wide, flat nature of the laces, use a double knot or ensure the bow is pulled tight to lock the tension.

Canvas becoming stained

Spot clean with a gentle laundry detergent and a soft cloth, then blot dry; avoid using harsh bleach which may fade the black fabric.

Stiff fit during first wear

Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors for a few days to allow the canvas and vulcanized rubber to flex and conform to your foot shape.

  • Enhanced comfort via OrthoLite insoles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Converse Chuck Taylor Throwback Trainers last, keep these care tips in mind. The wide, flat laces can be adjusted for a custom fit across the midfoot. For cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush, then wipe the canvas with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully submerging them in water, as this can affect the glue integrity. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the rubber from warping or yellowing. Since these are unisex, ensure you verify your UK sizing as these models tend to have a standard fit.
