FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
Converse sizing can sometimes run slightly large. It is recommended to check customer reviews or measure your foot and compare it to the Converse sizing chart to ensure the best fit. Some users find sizing down a half-size is beneficial.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the canvas upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, waterproof footwear is recommended.
How does the OrthoLite cushioning differ from standard Converse?
OrthoLite cushioning provides enhanced, long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture management compared to the standard insoles, offering superior comfort and support for extended wear.
What does 'Throwback' refer to in the name?
'Throwback' refers to the design's inspiration from '90s street culture and skate-park attitude, featuring remastered details like oversized eyelets and wider laces for an authentic retro look.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer good grip and some support, they are not specialized athletic shoes and may not provide the necessary performance or support for rigorous sports activities.
What is the difference between the Throwback High and standard Chuck Taylor High?
The Throwback High features design elements inspired by '90s aesthetics, such as oversized eyelets, wider laces, and potentially a slightly bulkier silhouette, along with enhanced OrthoLite cushioning for added comfort. The standard Chuck Taylor High offers a more classic, minimalist design.
Troubleshooting
Tread wear seems uneven.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Uneven tread wear can sometimes be caused by a shoe that is too large or too small, affecting your natural gait. Check for any obstructions or debris stuck in the sole pattern.
Discomfort after wearing for a short period.
Although they feature OrthoLite cushioning, new shoes can sometimes require a break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the laces are tied correctly – not too tight, not too loose.
Canvas appears discolored or stained.
For general cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush. For tougher stains, consult specific canvas shoe cleaning guides, but always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces keep coming undone.
Try a different lacing technique, such as a secure knot. Consider replacing the laces with a waxed or textured pair that offers better grip.

Care:
