FAQs

How do I determine the right size?

Converse Chuck Taylor trainers are known to run slightly large. It is recommended to try them on in person or consult a size chart, and potentially consider ordering a half-size down if you are between sizes or prefer a snugger fit.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for most athletic activities.

How should I clean the rubber sole?

The rubber sole can be cleaned using a damp cloth and a bit of soap. For tougher scuffs, a magic eraser or a paste of baking soda and water can be effective.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is generally not recommended to machine wash Converse trainers, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and shape of the shoe. Hand washing is the preferred method.

What is the difference between this 'Throwback' model and other Chuck Taylors?

The 'Throwback' designation typically indicates a model designed to closely replicate an original or early version of the iconic silhouette, often featuring specific vintage details, colourways, or materials that harken back to a particular era.

How durable is the canvas material?

The canvas is durable for everyday casual use. However, like most canvas footwear, it can be susceptible to wear and tear in high-friction areas and can be stained more easily than leather.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them with thicker socks for a short period or use a shoe stretcher. They may also loosen with regular wear.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with standard shoelaces. Any athletic or casual shoelace of the appropriate length will work.

Canvas becoming discoloured

Spot clean with a mild soap and water solution. For stubborn stains, consult specialized shoe cleaning guides for canvas materials.

Soles showing wear

For minor wear, a rubber sole repair product can be applied. Significant wear may indicate it's time for replacement.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
