FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, though some users prefer a half-size smaller due to the generous fit of the rubber toe cap.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended, as machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the rubber sole.

Do they provide good arch support?

They feature standard flat soles. If you need significant arch support, you may want to add a third-party orthotic insert.

Are the shoes water-resistant?

No, the canvas material is absorbent and not designed to protect your feet from rain or wet conditions.

What is the purpose of the holes on the side?

The two eyelets on the inner side of the shoe are designed for ventilation to allow air to circulate inside.

How do I make the canvas look new again?

Regularly brushing off dry dirt and spot cleaning with mild soap will keep the canvas looking fresh for longer.

Troubleshooting

Canvas becoming stained

Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently spot clean the affected area.

Laces becoming frayed

Replace with standard length cotton laces found at most footwear retailers to maintain the authentic look.

Insole comfort fading over time

Consider replacing the existing OrthoLite insole with a generic arch-support insert if you require more padding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless design that never goes out of style
  • Lightweight and breathable canvas material
  • Easy to clean and maintain

Cons

  • Minimal arch support for long-distance walking

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you first receive your Converse All Stars, ensure you have correctly adjusted the laces to your desired tension to secure the ankle. For sizing, the shoes follow standard UK sizing conventions. To maintain the appearance, spot clean the canvas with a soft brush, warm water, and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can degrade the rubber bonding and cause the canvas to lose its shape. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the rubber from becoming brittle.
