FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash Converse trainers as it can damage the materials and rubber soles; spot cleaning is the safest method.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The classic Chuck Taylor silhouette is moderately narrow, but the lace-up design allows for some adjustment in width.

What size should I order for a child who is currently a size 5?

The Converse Chuck Taylor series is generally true to size, so a 5.5 is likely to provide a little extra room for growth.

Do these shoes provide arch support?

These trainers feature a classic flat sole design; if your child requires specific arch support, adding an orthotic insole is recommended.

Can these be worn in the rain?

While the rubber sole provides grip, the canvas upper is not waterproof and will absorb water, so they are best suited for dry conditions.

Troubleshooting

Laces constantly coming untied

Double-knot the laces or swap them for elastic no-tie laces for younger children.

Canvas surface appearing dull or faded

Use a fabric-safe sneaker cleaner or a mild detergent solution to spot clean and restore the vibrant black finish.

Difficulty putting on the shoe

Loosen the laces down to the second eyelet from the bottom to allow the tongue to expand and create a wider opening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless design that never goes out of style
  • Provides reliable ankle coverage
  • Versatile black color hides dirt better than lighter shades
  • Available in a wide range of children's sizes

Cons

  • Canvas material can be difficult to keep clean in wet weather
  • Lace-up closure may be challenging for younger children who haven't learned to tie shoes
  • High-top design requires more time to put on than slip-on styles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Converse Throwback Hi trainers, start by adjusting the laces to the child's foot width before first use. Compatibility-wise, these shoes fit standard children's foot shapes; if the child wears thick socks, consider sizing up by a half-size. To care for them, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or dust. For deeper stains on the canvas, spot clean with a mixture of mild soap and warm water. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the glue and canvas integrity over time. Air dry in a shaded area to prevent fading.
