FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Converse Chuck Taylor trainers often run slightly large compared to standard athletic shoes. Many customers prefer to size down by half a size for a more precise fit.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash your Converse. The harsh agitation and heat can damage the construction and affect the glue binding.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The canvas upper is relatively flexible and tends to accommodate a variety of foot shapes, though they have a standard width profile.

What material is the upper made from?

The upper is constructed from durable, high-quality canvas.

How do I remove scuffs from the rubber?

A standard pencil eraser is often very effective at removing black scuffs from the white rubber toe cap and midsole.

Is the insole removable?

The OrthoLite insole is designed to be part of the shoe's internal structure but can generally be removed if you need to insert a custom orthotic.

Troubleshooting

Canvas becoming stiff after storage

Gently massage the canvas with your hands or wear them for short durations to soften the material through natural movement.

Dirty white rubber toe cap

Use a magic eraser or a mixture of baking soda and water with a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the rubber back to its original white.

Laces constantly coming undone

Double-knot the laces or swap them for waxed cotton laces which provide better grip and stay tied longer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless design that never goes out of style

  • Upgraded OrthoLite cushioning improves comfort
  • Versatile black colourway matches a wide variety of clothing
  • Proven durability through a century of manufacturing history

  • Not intended for high-impact sports or gym performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Converse trainers remain in top condition, follow these steps:

  1. Lacing: Adjust the laces to your preferred tension. Many users prefer a slightly looser fit around the ankle for movement or a tighter fit for support.
  2. Cleaning: Spot clean the canvas upper using a mild detergent and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid machine washing, as this can weaken the adhesives and cause the canvas to lose its shape.
  3. Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the rubber foxing or warp the glue.
  4. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the black canvas from fading over time.
