FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they follow standard UK adult sizing, though the canvas upper may feel structured initially.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the OrthoLite insoles are typically removable if you require custom orthotics.
How do I clean the white rubber toe cap?
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to scrub the rubber areas gently.
Are these suitable for sports?
While they take inspiration from basketball roots, they are designed for casual lifestyle use rather than professional court performance.
Will the canvas stretch over time?
Yes, the canvas will naturally soften and provide a more customized fit after several wears.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is crafted from a durable, heavyweight cotton canvas.
Troubleshooting
Footbed feels uncomfortable or slides
Ensure the OrthoLite insert is laid flat; if it has moved, remove and reposition it carefully.
Canvas becoming discoloured
Avoid machine washing; spot clean with a gentle detergent and air dry away from direct heat sources.
Laces coming undone
Because of the wide flat design, ensure a double knot is used to secure the laces during active walking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Converse Chuck Taylor Throwback Ox sneakers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Break-in: As these feature a heavyweight canvas upper, wear them for shorter intervals during the first week to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the canvas. For deeper stains, wipe the area with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Do not submerge them in water for extended periods.
- Lacing: Ensure the wide flat laces are threaded correctly through the oversized eyelets to maintain the intended 90s look and provide even pressure across the bridge of your foot.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading and damage to the rubber sole components.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK sizes; if you typically wear thick socks, you may find the standard fit quite snug due to the structured nature of the canvas.
