FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the canvas upper is not inherently waterproof. While some water resistance can be achieved with protector sprays, they are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions.
How do the OrthoLite insoles compare to standard insoles?
OrthoLite insoles are designed for superior cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, providing enhanced comfort and support compared to standard insoles.
Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?
Yes, the description mentions 'unisex sneakers' and 'adult', indicating they are designed for a broad audience regardless of gender.
What size should I order if I'm between sizes?
Converse often runs slightly large. If you are between sizes, consider sizing down. Refer to the specific sizing chart for Converse Chuck Taylors if available.
How do I clean the white rubber parts?
The white rubber sole and toe cap can be cleaned using a damp cloth with a bit of mild soap or a specialized shoe cleaner. A magic eraser can also be effective for scuffs.
What is the main difference between these and classic Chuck Taylors?
The Throwback Hi Trainers feature remastered details inspired by '90s street style, such as oversized eyelets, wider laces, and higher tape details, along with enhanced OrthoLite cushioning for improved comfort.
Troubleshooting
Torn or frayed canvas
Minor fraying can sometimes be addressed with fabric glue. For significant tears, repair may not be feasible, and replacement might be necessary.
Squeaking sole
This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between layers. Try drying the shoes thoroughly. If the squeak persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Discoloration
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with appropriate cleaners for canvas and rubber as per care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Their versatile design makes them compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, joggers, and casual dresses. To care for your Converse Throwback Hi Trainers:
- Cleaning the Canvas: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with a cloth, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Sole and Laces: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Laces can be removed and hand-washed or machine-washed in a mesh bag.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or tumble drying, which can damage the materials.
- Protection: Consider using a fabric protector spray suitable for canvas to help repel water and stains, especially for use in varied weather conditions.
