FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, machine washing can damage the vulcanized rubber and the structural integrity of the shoe. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The Chuck Taylor series typically follows standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual size, keeping in mind the structured high-top fit.

What is the primary benefit of the OrthoLite cushioning?

OrthoLite provides high-level breathability and long-lasting cushioning, significantly improving comfort for all-day wear compared to traditional flat soles.

Can I replace the laces with standard ones?

Yes, although the shoes are designed with wide flat laces to complement the 90s aesthetic, standard laces will fit if you prefer a different look.

Is the sole suitable for skating?

While they are styled after skate-park culture, they are lifestyle trainers; for intensive technical skating, professional-grade skate footwear is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel loose while walking

Adjust the tension at each oversized eyelet individually before tying a double knot to secure the wide laces.

Insole feels less comfortable over time

Remove the OrthoLite insoles and allow them to air out for 24 hours to regain their original shape and cushioning properties.

Difficulty with fit at the ankle

Loosen the top two eyelets during the first few wears to allow the material to flex and adapt to your ankle shape.

Pros and Cons

  • Durable vulcanized construction

Cons

  • High-top design may require break-in

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Converse Throwback Hi trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple maintenance steps. Initially, ensure the laces are threaded through the oversized eyelets to achieve your preferred tension. If the shoes become dirty, spot clean the upper material with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing to preserve the integrity of the vulcanized sole. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material fading. If the OrthoLite insoles become compressed after heavy use, they can be removed and aired out to restore comfort.
