Full details

FAQs

What makes these trainers 'throwback'?

The 'throwback' elements refer to design choices inspired by the 1990s, such as the deconstructed style, heavyweight canvas, and oversized eyelets and laces.

Are these suitable for athletic activities?

These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and general comfort. They are not intended for high-impact athletic performance.

How do I ensure I'm getting the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Converse and measure your foot to compare with the UK sizing. This specific model is listed as 'Size UK 5.5'.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash Converse trainers, as this can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing or spot cleaning is the preferred method.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is made from heavyweight canvas, a characteristic of many classic Chuck Taylor models.

How durable is the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed for durability and provides reliable traction for everyday use.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

This particular listing is for the white colorway. Converse often releases various color options for the Chuck Taylor series, which may include other options for similar models.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Wearing thicker socks initially might help stretch the material slightly. Ensure the laces are adjusted properly, not too tight.

Canvas material getting dirty quickly

Regularly brush off loose dirt after wear. For stains, spot clean immediately using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Consider using a protective spray suitable for canvas footwear.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free of debris. While designed for general traction, specific smooth or wet surfaces may offer less grip. Use caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility:

Designed for general wear, these trainers are compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, skirts, shorts, and casual dresses. They are suitable for adult wearers.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust from the canvas. For stubborn stains, a mild soap and water solution can be applied sparingly with a cloth, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a specialised shoe cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water can be used, followed by a thorough wipe-down.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate washing by hand with mild detergent and water. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing.
  • Drying: Always air dry trainers away from direct heat sources or sunlight to prevent material damage and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
