FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard Converse sizing conventions for adults.

Can I put these in the dryer?

No, avoid using a dryer as high heat can damage the rubber foxing and the shoe structure.

Are they waterproof?

No, they are made of canvas and are not designed to be water-resistant or waterproof.

What is the primary benefit of the Ortholite sole?

The Ortholite sole provides enhanced cushioning and moisture-wicking properties, significantly improving comfort compared to standard foam.

Are these suitable for gym use?

While they provide good stability, they are classified as casual lifestyle trainers and are not optimized for heavy gym workouts or running.

How do I maintain the color of the brown canvas?

Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight and clean using only cold water to prevent material degradation and fading.

Troubleshooting

Inner sole feels like it is sliding

Ensure the Ortholite insert is pressed firmly into the heel cup of the shoe; if it persists, allow the shoe to air dry completely as moisture can cause the sole to shift.

Canvas becoming stained by mud

Allow the mud to dry completely before brushing it off with a soft-bristled brush, then spot clean with a damp cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ortholite cushioning offers significantly more comfort than standard canvas trainers
  • Bold 90s design cues stand out from traditional basic models
  • Durable canvas material is breathable for all-day wear
  • Versatile brown colorway pairs easily with denim and casual trousers

Cons

  • Canvas material can attract dirt and requires frequent cleaning
  • Higher tape details may feel slightly stiffer during the initial break-in period
  • Not suitable for high-intensity athletic activities or running

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Break-in: Wear them for short durations for the first few days to allow the canvas and tape to conform to your feet.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the canvas. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and cold water solution on a soft cloth; avoid putting them in the washing machine as this can damage the glue.
  3. Lacing: The fatter laces are a design feature; ensure they are threaded evenly to maintain the aesthetic integrity of the 90s-inspired look.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the brown color from fading.
