FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Generally, Converse trainers run slightly large. Many users find that sizing down by half a size provides a more secure fit.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended, as the mechanical action of the machine and high heat can damage the rubber and canvas. Manual spot cleaning is safer.

Does the OrthoLite insole provide arch support?

The OrthoLite insole provides excellent cushioning, but it is not a corrective orthotic. If you have specific arch needs, you may want to swap the insole for a custom one.

Is the canvas material waterproof?

No, the canvas is a breathable fabric and is not treated to be waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The standard Chuck Taylor model has a somewhat narrow profile, but the canvas material typically stretches slightly over time to accommodate different foot shapes.

Troubleshooting

Laces becoming loose during the day

Try a double knot or ensure the laces are threaded through the top-most eyelets for a more secure fit.

Canvas becoming stained or muddy

Use a soft brush to remove dried mud first, then use a damp cloth with mild detergent to gently dab the area clean.

Insole sliding or moving

Remove the OrthoLite insole, clean the footbed area, and ensure the insole is pressed firmly back into the flat position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and breathable canvas material
  • OrthoLite insole adds noticeable comfort compared to older versions

  • High-top design takes slightly longer to lace up than low-top models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Hi trainers in top condition, follow these simple maintenance steps.

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean your trainers using a mild soap and a soft damp cloth. Avoid submerging them in water, as this can affect the glue and canvas durability.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the rubber or warp the material.
  3. Lacing: Adjust the laces to your preferred tension. Because they are high-tops, you may choose to lace them to the top for maximum ankle support or slightly lower for a more relaxed, casual look.
  4. Compatibility: These shoes pair well with denim, casual trousers, and shorts, making them an extremely versatile base for a wide range of personal styles.
