FAQs
Are these sneakers unisex?
Yes, the Converse Chuck Taylor Throwback trainers are designed as unisex footwear, suitable for all adults.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Washing machines can damage the adhesive and cause the red canvas to fade or shrink; spot cleaning is always the safer option.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
They feature a traditional flat-sole construction, which provides minimal built-in arch support. You may wish to add an insole for comfort.
Are the shoes waterproof?
No, the canvas material is not waterproof or water-resistant. They are intended for dry conditions.
How do I ensure I pick the right size?
The sizes listed are standard adult UK sizes. It is recommended to choose the size you wear in other casual sneaker brands.
Troubleshooting
Canvas becoming stained or dirty
Use a soft sponge with mild detergent and water, gently scrubbing the affected area before allowing to air dry away from heat sources.
Foot fatigue after long periods of wear
Insert high-quality aftermarket insoles to provide the additional arch support and cushioning the factory footbed lacks.
Laces coming untied frequently
Double-knot the laces or consider replacing them with elastic "no-tie" laces for a more secure, consistent fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Converse Chuck Taylor Throwback trainers last, proper care is essential.
- Breaking In: New canvas trainers may feel slightly stiff initially; wearing them with socks for short periods will help them mold to your feet.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently spot-clean the canvas. Avoid soaking the shoes fully or using a washing machine, as this can degrade the glue and fabric.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the red colour from fading over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to standard adult sizing. If you prefer a more supportive fit, consider replacing the factory insole with a custom orthotic insert.
