FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Converse Chuck Taylors typically run slightly large; many users find they need to size down by a half size compared to their standard athletic shoe size.

Can I replace the insoles?

The OrthoLite insoles are designed for comfort, but they can be removed if you need to insert your own custom orthotic supports.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

While the rubber sole provides good grip, the canvas upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to prevent water from soaking into the fabric.

How do I maintain the black colour?

Keep them out of direct sunlight when not in use and clean them using products specifically designed for black canvas to avoid grey streaks.

Are these considered unisex?

Yes, while listed with specific sizing, the Chuck Taylor Throwback silhouette is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for all genders.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel loose or slip during walking

Ensure the wide laces are pulled taut through every oversized eyelet and double-knot the bow for additional security.

Canvas upper staining

Use a soft brush and a dedicated shoe cleaner or diluted soap solution; dab the stain gently rather than scrubbing aggressively to prevent fabric fraying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive '90s street style aesthetic
  • Enhanced comfort with modern OrthoLite insoles
  • Durable rubber outsole suitable for daily walking
  • Versatile design that pairs well with casual outfits

Cons

  • Flat sole lacks arch support needed for high-impact sports
  • Oversized eyelets may require specific lacing techniques for a secure fit
  • Canvas upper requires regular cleaning to maintain appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Chuck Taylor Throwback trainers maintain their look, follow these guidelines:

  • Breaking In: The initial fit may feel stiff due to the canvas material; wear them for shorter periods during the first week to allow the material to soften to your foot shape.
  • Lacing: The oversized eyelets accommodate the included wide laces. Ensure the laces are threaded uniformly to avoid pressure points on the top of the foot.
  • Cleaning: Spot clean the canvas upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the vulcanized rubber bond and cause the fabric to shrink.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the saturated colours from fading over time.
