FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
Converse Chuck Taylors typically have a narrower fit. While the canvas can stretch slightly over time, individuals with very wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on is recommended.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the canvas, rubber, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care' section.
What size should I get if I usually wear a half-size?
Converse often runs slightly large. Many customers choose to size down a half size for a better fit, especially if you prefer a snug feel. However, individual fit can vary, so trying them on is ideal.
How do I prevent the laces from coming undone frequently?
Ensure you are double-knotting your laces. You can also try different lacing techniques that provide more friction, or consider replacing standard laces with slightly thicker ones.
Are these knee-high shoes good for all seasons?
Due to their knee-high canvas design, they are best suited for cooler to mild weather. They may feel warm in hot summer conditions, but can be a stylish option for spring, autumn, and mild winter days.
Can I fold down the top part of the shoe?
Yes, many users fold down the top of the XXHi to reveal the inner lining or create a different look, offering versatility in styling. Ensure the folded part is neat and doesn't cause discomfort.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable around the calf
Ensure the lacing is not too tight. You can loosen the laces around the calf area or try wearing thinner socks. For persistent discomfort, consider folding the top section down.
Difficulty getting foot into the shoe
Fully unlace the top few eyelets and pull the tongue forward to create more space. A shoehorn can also be helpful.
Canvas appears dirty or stained
Refer to the 'Care' section above for detailed cleaning instructions for canvas. Promptly clean stains to prevent them from setting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup/Wearing
- Lacing: Begin by unlacing the trainers sufficiently to allow your foot to slide in comfortably.
- Fit: Ensure your heel is snugly seated, and there's about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
- Adjusting: Lace them up to your preferred tightness. For the knee-high design, you can lace them all the way up, or fold the top down for a different look.
Compatibility
- Apparel: Best with clothing that allows the full shaft of the shoe to be visible or that complements its unique height. Think skinny jeans tucked in, leggings, short dresses, or skirts.
- Socks: Wear socks that extend above the shoe's shaft for comfort, especially to prevent rubbing.
Care
- Cleaning Canvas:
- Remove excess dirt with a soft brush.
- Mix warm water with a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap).
- Using a cloth or soft brush, gently scrub the canvas.
- Rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
- Air dry away from direct sunlight or heat. Do NOT machine wash or machine dry.
- Cleaning Rubber Soles: Use a magic eraser or a mixture of baking soda and water to scrub away scuffs and dirt.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation.
- Odor Control: If needed, use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use.
