FAQs
Do these trainers run true to size?
Converse Chuck Taylors are known to run approximately a half-size to a full-size larger than standard shoe sizing. It is generally recommended to order a half-size down.
Are these suitable for walking long distances?
While comfortable for everyday wear and moderate walking, they are not designed with the specialized cushioning or arch support found in dedicated walking or running shoes. For very long distances, consider adding supportive insoles.
How should I clean the grey canvas material?
Gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a soft brush. Always air dry away from heat.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The canvas material is not waterproof. While a water-repellent spray can offer some protection, they are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What is the main difference between Malden Street and other Chuck Taylor models?
The Malden Street line often features slightly more robust materials or subtle design updates suitable for a street-style aesthetic, while retaining the core Chuck Taylor All Star DNA.
What socks are best to wear with high-top trainers?
Ankle socks or crew socks generally work well. For comfort and to prevent rubbing, ensure the socks extend slightly above the shoe's collar.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too large
Converse sizing often runs large. Consider ordering a half-size down from your usual size. If already purchased, consider adding thicker insoles or wearing thicker socks.
Laces are difficult to tie or come undone
Ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets correctly and tied securely using a double knot if necessary. Consider replacing the original laces with ones that offer better grip.
Sole feels stiff initially
The rubber sole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially to allow them to adapt to your foot.
Slight discoloration on the canvas
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric or colour.
