FAQs
Are these suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not intended for high-performance athletic activities.
How do I clean the red suede/textile material?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used carefully. Always air dry away from heat and direct sunlight.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and affect the shape and adhesive.
What is the sizing like for these trainers?
Converse sizing can sometimes run a little large. It's often recommended to try them on or consult a size chart. For this specific model, the UK size 5 is provided.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
These trainers feature a classic design with minimal built-in arch support. For enhanced support, consider using aftermarket insoles.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
The textile and suede upper is not waterproof. While a protector spray can offer some resistance, they are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit
Wear with thicker socks for a short period or try gently stretching the shoes by hand in areas of tightness.
Scuff marks on the rubber sole
Use a magic eraser or a soft cloth with a small amount of toothpaste to gently buff out scuff marks.
Discoloration of the red suede/textile
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry away from heat.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with standard Converse laces or any similar flat-style shoelaces.

Care:
