Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Adjust the lacing pattern to be looser near the eyelets where you feel the most pressure.
Canvas becoming dirty or stained
Use a soft-bristled brush with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent to gently scrub the affected area.
White rubber parts starting to yellow
Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Converse trainers remain in excellent condition, follow these basic care guidelines. Out of the box, loosen the laces completely to adjust the tension to your specific foot width. These trainers are highly compatible with various styles, from streetwear to business-casual looks. For maintenance, clean the rubber toe cap and outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. The canvas upper can be spot-cleaned; avoid machine washing to preserve the structural integrity and prevent the adhesive from weakening. If they become soaked, air-dry them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the rubber to crack.
