FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Chuck Taylor Throwback Ox Trainers generally have a standard width. While the lace system allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consider the break-in period.
What is the main difference between these and standard Chuck Taylors?
The Throwback Ox models feature specific '90s-inspired design elements such as oversized eyelets, wider laces, and a generally more robust, 'raw' aesthetic compared to the classic, sleeker versions.
How do I clean the rubber parts of the shoe?
The rubber sole and toe cap can be cleaned using a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap and water. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used gently on the white rubber accents.
Are these waterproof?
No, the canvas upper is not waterproof. These trainers are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may cause the canvas to get soaked.
What type of cushioning do these shoes have?
These trainers feature OrthoLite cushioning, which is designed to provide enhanced comfort and support for everyday wear.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash Converse trainers, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and shape of the shoe. Hand washing and spot cleaning are the preferred methods.
What size should I get if I am a UK 7.5?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Canvas appears dirty or stained
Spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, a soft brush can be used gently. Always allow to air dry.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Ensure laces are tied securely. You may consider replacing the laces with a type that offers more grip or using a double knot.
Slight squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Walking in them more can often resolve this. If persistent, check for any debris trapped in the sole or between the insole and outsole.
