FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Converse trainers typically run slightly large; many users prefer choosing a half-size smaller than their standard sneaker size.
Can I put my Converse in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth or soft brush is the safest method to preserve the integrity of the materials.
Are these suitable for gym use?
While excellent for weightlifting due to their flat, stable sole, they are not recommended for running or high-impact activities due to limited cushioning.
How long do these trainers last?
With regular wear and proper care, the durable construction ensures they can last for several seasons of frequent use.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the standard canvas model is not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Canvas becoming stained or dirty
Use a soft-bristled brush with a mixture of water and mild detergent to gently scrub the fabric, then air dry.
Soles feeling slippery on smooth floors
Ensure the rubber soles are free of debris or wax buildup; if they remain slippery, lightly scuff the bottom with fine-grit sandpaper.
Foot discomfort during long walks
Consider adding a third-party foam or gel insole to improve cushioning and arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, start by lacing them comfortably—avoid overtightening, as this can strain the eyelets. These shoes are compatible with various inserts or orthotics if you require additional arch support. For care, spot clean the canvas with a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as high heat and heavy agitation can damage the rubber foxing and adhesive. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
