FAQs

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is made from a premium, durable 18oz cotton twill.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?

These shoes are designed for fashion and casual wear, not for strenuous athletic performance. Their unique construction prioritizes style and comfort for everyday use.

How does the sizing run for this model?

The sizing generally follows the standard Converse Chuck 70 fit. It's recommended to consult a size guide or try them on if possible. This specific listing is for UK size 7.5.

Can the elongated tongue be tucked in?

While the tongue is designed to be prominent, it can be adjusted or partially tucked, though its full effect is achieved when worn as intended.

What is the 'TURBODRK' tag?

The 'TURBODRK' tag is a collaborative branding element by Rick Owens, signifying a specific design iteration within their partnership with Converse.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and light.

What is the warranty period for these shoes?

Warranty information typically depends on the retailer. Please check with the point of purchase for details on their specific warranty policy.

Troubleshooting

Laces are difficult to tighten evenly.

Ensure the eyelets are clear and the laces are not frayed. Try lacing them through the eyelets in a consistent pattern.

Discoloration on the white stitching.

Gently clean the stitching with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Test a small, inconspicuous area first.

Distorted midsole seems difficult to clean.

Use a damp microfiber cloth and gently wipe the textured areas. For stubborn dirt, a soft-bristled brush can help dislodge it.

Shoe feels slightly stiff on first wear.

This is common with new cotton twill shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. Avoid excessive bending.

Cons

  • May require more careful cleaning due to unique design elements like the distorted midsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear. Pairs well with casual and avant-garde fashion. The low-top silhouette makes them versatile with different pant styles.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the cotton twill or stitching.
  2. Midsole and Toe Cap: For the rubber parts, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. For tougher marks, a rubber eraser can be effective.
  3. Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately in mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing.
  4. Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources to prevent material shrinkage or damage.
  5. Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the shoe's construction and unique design elements.
