FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash Chuck Taylors as it can damage the glue holding the sole and the fabric integrity.
How do Converse sizes compare to other sneakers?
Converse Chuck Taylors typically run large. Many users find success sizing down by half a size from their standard athletic shoe size.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the canvas upper is porous and will soak up water. They are best suited for dry weather conditions.
Does this shoe provide good arch support?
The All Star line features a very flat internal footbed. If you require significant arch support, consider adding an aftermarket orthotic insole.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the standard insoles can generally be removed and replaced with custom insoles for a more personalized fit.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly coming undone
Use a double knot or replace the laces with a slightly more textured material for better grip.
Canvas becoming dirty or discolored
Gently scrub with a mixture of water and gentle laundry detergent using a cloth, then rinse lightly and air dry.
Heel slipping while walking
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to secure the ankle collar more firmly against your heel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your pair, ensure the laces are threaded properly through the metal eyelets to achieve your preferred tension. Converse shoes typically run a half-size to a full-size larger than other brands, so ensure you have the right fit for your UK size 9. To maintain the leopard print and the canvas material, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean with mild soap, warm water, and a soft-bristled brush. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the rubber from warping or the canvas from fading.
