FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
While designed for a standard fit, the velcro straps allow for some adjustability. However, if your child has significantly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on in person if possible.
How do I know if I'm ordering the correct size?
These shoes are generally true to size. It's best to measure your child's foot from heel to toe and compare it to the size chart provided by Converse or the retailer.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these are not waterproof. For heavy rain or puddles, it's advisable to choose a different type of footwear.
What is the primary advantage of the 'Easy-On' feature?
The 'Easy-On' feature refers to the velcro straps, which make it significantly faster and simpler for children to put on and take off their shoes independently, compared to traditional laces.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of them to maintain their shape.
Do these shoes come in other colors?
This specific model, the '1998 Easy-On Low Top' in black leather, is as described. Other variations within the Converse Kids Lifestyle series may be available in different colors or materials.
Troubleshooting
Velcro straps not sticking well
Ensure the velcro surfaces are clean and free from lint or dirt. Gently brush the velcro with a stiff brush. If the velcro is worn out, it may need replacement.
Leather appears scuffed or dirty
Wipe down with a damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Child finds the fit uncomfortable
Double-check the size against a foot measurement. Ensure the velcro straps are adjusted for a snug but not tight fit. Consider the socks typically worn with the shoes.
