Full details
These Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Espadrille trainers in black are designed for adult women seeking a stylish and comfortable casual shoe with a unique espadrille twist.

FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. The canvas and espadrille detailing are best kept dry.
What is OrthoLite cushioning?
OrthoLite is a brand of foam insole that provides long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture management for enhanced comfort.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Converse. These are listed in UK women's sizes. The UK 8 is equivalent to a US 10.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, especially due to the espadrille detailing. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between these and standard Chuck Taylors?
The main difference is the addition of espadrille detailing on the midsole, giving them a distinct summer-ready aesthetic, along with OrthoLite cushioning for improved comfort.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Converse Chuck Taylors generally have a medium width. If you have very wide feet, they might feel snug.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially.
Canvas can take a short period to mold to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially, or consider using thicker socks around the house to gently stretch them.
Espadrille sole showing signs of wear or fraying.
This is normal wear for espadrille material. For minor fraying, you can try carefully trimming loose threads with small scissors. Avoid harsh scrubbing on the espadrille section.
Discoloration on the canvas.
For light marks, try spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized canvas shoe cleaner, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt from the canvas and sole. Avoid soaking the shoes, especially the espadrille midsole, as excess moisture can damage the material.
- Drying: If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can warp the shoe.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their color and shape.
