FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic sports?
While they pay homage to basketball roots, these are lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for high-impact professional sports.
Does the OrthoLite insole come out?
Yes, the OrthoLite cushioning is removable, allowing you to clean it or replace it with custom orthotics if preferred.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
Converse typically fits true to size, though they can run slightly long; compare your UK size to the provided sizing chart to ensure a correct fit.
Are these machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the vulcanized rubber bonding.
Do the wide laces provide more support?
The wide laces allow for better pressure distribution across the top of the foot, which can feel more secure than standard thin laces.
Will the black canvas fade quickly?
Like all dyed canvas, some fading is natural over time; keep them away from harsh sunlight to maintain the deep black colour longer.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming loose easily
The wide flat laces are a style choice; ensure you double-knot them if you require a tighter, more secure lock during activity.
Canvas becoming dusty or faded
Use a specialized canvas cleaner or a soft-bristled brush to lift embedded dust and restore the appearance of the black fabric.
Inner sole feels firm
Ensure the OrthoLite insole is properly seated flat inside the shoe; if it shifted, remove and reinsert it for optimal comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Converse Throwback Ox trainers, keep the canvas clean by brushing off loose dirt after use. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and a soft damp cloth, avoiding abrasive chemicals that might fade the saturated black finish. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. Regarding compatibility, these trainers run standard, but if you have a wide foot, you may appreciate the wider lacing capabilities of this specific model.
