FAQs
Is the Converse AS-1 Pro true to size?
Yes, the AS-1 Pro typically fits true to size, but the performance fit is snug to provide optimal control.
Can I use these for sports other than skating?
While designed for skating, their supportive build and flat sole make them suitable for weightlifting and general casual wear.
How do I maintain the white colorway?
Regularly wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and consider using a leather protector spray if the upper is leather.
Are these shoes suitable for walking long distances?
While they provide excellent ground feel, the thin sole is designed for board control rather than long-distance walking comfort.
What should I do if the shoes get wet?
Stuff the interior with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape while letting them air dry away from heat.
Troubleshooting
The sole feels stiff out of the box
This is normal for high-performance skate shoes; wear them for light walking for 1-2 days to allow the vulcanized rubber to flex.
Laces are fraying quickly
The AS-1 Pro is designed for performance, and abrasive griptape will wear down laces. We recommend applying a small amount of clear wax or using heavy-duty skate-specific replacement laces.
Accumulation of dust on the fabric
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning kit or a light mixture of water and gentle detergent applied with a soft sponge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Converse AS-1 Pro lasts as long as possible, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush to remove dry dirt from the upper. For deeper stains on white leather or canvas, use a damp cloth with mild soap.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid placing them near direct heat sources like radiators, which can deform the materials.
- Lacing: Ensure laces are tight enough to provide a secure lockdown, which prevents the foot from sliding inside the shoe and improves board response.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup inside the lining.
