FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing conventions, though some users prefer a half-size up if they plan to wear thicker socks.
Can I put these shoes in the dryer?
No, heat from a dryer can damage the rubber components and cause the canvas to shrink; always air dry your shoes away from direct sunlight.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The canvas upper has some flexibility, but the design is standard; if you have very wide feet, you may find the silhouette slightly snug.
Do they provide good arch support?
These trainers feature a flat insole design consistent with classic Chuck Taylors; if you require high arch support, consider adding an aftermarket insole.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
They are made of standard canvas and are not designed to be water-resistant or waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the rubber toe cap
Use a white eraser or a small amount of mild soap on a cloth to gently buff away surface marks.
Canvas becoming stained
Spot clean the affected area with a mixture of baking soda and mild laundry detergent using a soft-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Chuck Taylor trainers last, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. For light maintenance, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or scuffs. For the canvas material, a gentle brush and mild soapy water can help remove stubborn marks; avoid submerging them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the glue and structural integrity. For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK adult shoe size, keeping in mind that these sneakers have a standard canvas-style fit.
