FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the leather upper is more water-resistant than canvas, it is not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protectant spray if you intend to wear them in wet conditions.

How do I clean the rubber toe cap?

A magic eraser or a simple mixture of baking soda and water applied with an old toothbrush works wonders on the rubber components.

Do these run true to size?

Converse typically runs slightly large. If you are between sizes, it is often recommended to size down half a size for a more secure fit.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the OrthoLite insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them out for custom orthotics if required.

Are these suitable for sports?

While they provide good grip, they lack the high-performance support and impact absorption required for intense athletic activities or running.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff or tight

Wear the shoes for short periods with thick socks to gently stretch and soften the leather over time.

Creasing on the toe area

This is normal for leather footwear; using cedar shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and reduce deep creasing.

Laces coming undone frequently

Double-knot the laces or consider replacing them with waxed cotton laces for a more secure, long-lasting hold.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather construction stands up well to daily wear
  • Easier to wipe clean than canvas styles
  • OrthoLite insoles offer improved underfoot cushioning
  • Versatile design works with casual and smart-casual outfits
  • Timeless, iconic hi-top silhouette

Cons

  • Leather may feel stiff during the initial break-in period
  • Hi-top design takes more time to lace up than low-top sneakers
  • Less breathable than canvas versions due to leather material

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Converse leather shoes stay in top condition, follow these guidelines. When new, wear them with thicker socks for the first few outings to protect your heels while the leather softens. For care, wipe down the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dust or salt stains; avoid submerging them in water, as this can damage the material and the vulcanized sole bond. To maintain the crisp black look, you can apply a leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking. Always store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color depth.
