FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, Converse Chuck Taylors tend to run slightly large. If you are between sizes, many users prefer to size down by half a size.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can weaken the adhesive and cause potential discoloration of the canvas or metal components.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The standard Chuck Taylor model features a flat sole and offers minimal arch support. They are best suited for casual wear rather than long-distance walking or sport.
Are they suitable for rainy weather?
While the canvas is durable, it is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or light-weather conditions to keep your feet dry and the shoes clean.
How long do they take to break in?
The canvas material typically softens after a few days of consistent wear, conforming better to the shape of your foot.
Troubleshooting
Canvas becoming stained
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt, then gently dab with a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water.
Footbed feels uncomfortable
Consider adding an aftermarket orthotic insole if you require additional arch support.
Laces constantly coming untied
Double-knot the laces or ensure they are pulled tight enough to maintain tension across the tongue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Converse trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines. When first trying them on, ensure the laces are loosened to allow your foot to enter comfortably, then tighten them to your preferred tension. For cleaning, remove surface dust with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, spot clean the canvas with a mild soap and cold water, using a soft cloth; avoid putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage the glue and metal eyelets. Ensure they air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the canvas from stiffening.
