FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they follow standard Converse sizing for adults. However, if you are between sizes, consider the roomier nature of the cushioning.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the glue and rubber adhesion. Hand cleaning is best for longevity.
What is the primary difference between these and classic Chucks?
The Throwback series features thicker, more supportive OrthoLite insoles and exaggerated aesthetic details like larger eyelets and wider laces.
Do these provide good arch support?
The OrthoLite cushioning offers better support than traditional canvas sneakers, though it remains a flat-sole profile trainer.
Are the materials breathable?
Yes, the canvas upper allows for natural airflow, making them suitable for warmer weather and daily casual use.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel loose or slip during walking
Ensure the wide flat laces are pulled tight through each eyelet and use a double knot if necessary, as the oversized eyelets allow for more movement.
Insole feels tight
The OrthoLite insole is removable. If you require custom orthotics, you can remove the existing insole to create more volume inside the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Converse Chuck Taylor Throwback trainers maintain their appearance, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: These trainers are designed as standard adult sizing; ensure you wear the type of socks you intend to use daily when trying them on to account for the internal cushioning.
- Lacing: Given the oversized eyelets and wide laces, take care to pull each cross-section of the lace flat to prevent bunching, which can create pressure points.
- Cleaning: Spot clean the canvas upper using a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the vulcanized bond between the sole and the upper.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the saturated colors from fading over time.
