FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick socks, some users prefer sizing up by a half size.

Can I wash these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended. Machine washing can weaken the adhesive holding the rubber sole to the canvas upper.

Do these provide good arch support?

They feature OrthoLite insoles for basic comfort, but they do not have aggressive orthotic arch support. They are best suited for casual, daily activity.

How do I keep the white rubber toe cap clean?

A magic eraser sponge or a damp cloth with a tiny amount of toothpaste can help lift scuffs from the rubber.

Are these suitable for sports?

While they originated as basketball shoes, modern performance standards differ. They are intended for lifestyle and casual wear rather than high-impact athletics.

Troubleshooting

Canvas becoming dirty or stained

Spot clean with a mixture of mild detergent and water. Do not submerge in a washing machine as it can damage the vulcanized rubber bond.

Soles feeling slippery on smooth surfaces

New rubber soles may have a slight coating from manufacturing. Scuff them slightly on a rough concrete surface to improve initial traction.

Tongue sliding to one side

Utilize the laces to secure the tongue through the integrated eyelet or stitching loop often found on the tongue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable canvas material for long-lasting use
  • OrthoLite insoles provide superior comfort compared to standard canvas sneakers
  • Timeless design that works well with many clothing styles
  • Sturdy vulcanized sole offers excellent ground feel

Cons

  • High-top design requires more time to put on and take off
  • Canvas material may feel stiff during the initial break-in period
  • Limited arch support compared to dedicated athletic performance shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Converse trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the canvas. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and cold water mixture with a damp cloth.
  2. Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, as they can warp the rubber or cause the glue to degrade.
  3. Lacing: Adjust the laces through the metal eyelets to your preferred tightness. Ensure the tongue is centered properly using the winged stitching to prevent slipping.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
