FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, these trainers should only be spot cleaned to protect the structural integrity of the foam midsole and padded collar.
Do I need to break these in?
Thanks to the padded collar and foam midsole, these generally require very little break-in time compared to traditional rubber-sole sneakers.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the upper is made of cotton, which is breathable but not water-resistant. We recommend avoiding heavy rain.
How does the sizing compare to regular Chuck Taylors?
They feature a wider fit, so they may feel more spacious than standard, narrower Converse models.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite insoles can be removed if you prefer to use your own custom orthotic inserts.
Troubleshooting
The shoes feel too loose compared to my old Converse.
The Malden Street Ox is built on a wider last; try wearing slightly thicker cotton socks to take up the extra volume.
Surface stains are not coming off the canvas.
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a soft-bristled brush with a gentle soap solution, applying minimal pressure to avoid damaging the fabric fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Because these fit wider than standard Chuck Taylors, consider trying them on with your preferred thickness of socks before committing to a size.
- Care: These trainers should be cleaned via spot cleaning only. Use a soft cloth, mild soap, and cold water to gently rub away surface stains on the cotton upper.
- Drying: Never place these in a tumble dryer. Always air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the glue from degrading or the canvas from shrinking.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the grey colour from fading over time.
