Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoe is new, it may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to mold to your foot.
Color transfer onto socks or other clothing
This can occasionally happen with new, brightly colored footwear. It is recommended to wear darker colored socks initially. The color transfer should reduce with wear.
Soles becoming detached or showing wear
Check if the wear is normal for the usage. For significant detachment, contact customer support regarding warranty. Minor separation may be addressed with appropriate shoe adhesive.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Converse offers replacement laces, or any standard shoelaces can be used.
