FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adult UK sizing for the Converse brand.

Can I replace the wide laces with standard ones?

Yes, though using thinner laces may make the oversized eyelets appear disproportionately large.

Are these suitable for sports?

These are designed as lifestyle sneakers. While they have basketball roots, they lack the technical support required for professional-level court sports.

How do I clean the canvas?

Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not soak the shoes completely in water.

Are they waterproof?

No, the canvas upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a fabric protector spray if you plan on wearing them in light rain.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming loose frequently

The wide flat laces may require a double-knot due to their material texture; ensure they are threaded tightly through the oversized eyelets.

Insole feels stiff initially

OrthoLite insoles often require a short break-in period; wear them for a few hours at a time to allow the foam to mold to your foot shape.

Surface scuffs on rubber

Use a specialized rubber eraser or a damp sponge with a gentle abrasive cleaner to buff out scuffs on the vulcanized toe cap and sole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced underfoot comfort with OrthoLite technology
  • Durable vulcanized rubber sole for long-term use
  • Distinctive 90s aesthetic with unique styling details
  • Versatile unisex design suitable for various casual outfits

Cons

  • Oversized eyelets may require specific lacing methods
  • The 90s-inspired silhouette is less minimal than standard Chuck Taylors
  • Limited to specific colorway options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your trainers in optimal condition, ensure they are laced securely using the wide flat laces provided, which are designed to stay tight despite the larger eyelet diameter. When cleaning, avoid machine washing to maintain the integrity of the vulcanized rubber; instead, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For the canvas upper, a soft-bristled brush can be used to remove surface dust. Always air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the rubber from drying out or warping.
