FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and fashion. They are not intended for high-impact athletic activities or intense sports.
How should I clean the espadrille part of the sole?
Gently clean the espadrille detailing with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. It's best to avoid soaking this material to prevent damage.
What is OrthoLite cushioning?
OrthoLite is a brand of foam used for insoles, known for its breathability, moisture-wicking properties, and long-term cushioning and comfort.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole provides some traction, the canvas upper and espadrille detailing are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Converse or the retailer. For these specific trainers, the UK size 5 is indicated, but it's always recommended to check specific measurements if available.
What is the main difference between these and standard Chuck Taylors?
The main difference is the espadrille detailing along the midsole, which gives them a distinct summery look, and the use of heavyweight canvas.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
The heavyweight canvas may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Gently flexing the shoes manually can also help soften the material.
Espadrille detailing appears frayed or damaged
Avoid excessive moisture and rough abrasion. If minor fraying occurs, you can try to trim loose threads carefully with small scissors. For significant damage, consult a cobbler.
Dirt on the canvas or rubber sole
Use a damp cloth and mild soap for canvas, and a brush or damp cloth for the rubber sole. Ensure to dry thoroughly afterwards.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the canvas upper. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Espadrille Detail: Gently clean the espadrille detailing with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the espadrille material, as excessive moisture can damage the natural fibers and adhesives.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Wipe the rubber outsole clean with a damp cloth. Stubborn dirt can be removed with a brush.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the materials.
