Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Converse trainers stay in prime condition, follow these steps:
Breaking in: Wear the sneakers for short periods during the first week to allow the leather to flex and conform to your foot shape.
Cleaning: Because the upper is leather, avoid submerging the shoes in water. Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied to a soft brush or cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.
Lacing: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your comfort level before tying; pulling them too tight across the bridge of the foot can restrict movement and lead to premature leather creasing.
