FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
Converse Chuck Taylors typically have a narrower fit. While the canvas will stretch slightly over time, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug. We recommend trying them on to ensure comfort.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the canvas, shape, and glue of the trainers. Spot clean or hand wash only with mild detergent and cold water, then air dry.
How do I ensure a secure fit with the knee-high design?
The trainers feature both laces and a side zipper. Use the zipper for easy access, and then adjust the laces from the bottom to the top to achieve your desired snugness and support around your foot and calf.
What kind of socks should I wear with XXHi trainers?
Due to their height, mid-calf or knee-high socks are often preferred to prevent rubbing against the skin. Material choice depends on comfort, with cotton or moisture-wicking blends being good options.
Are these trainers true to size?
Converse sizing can sometimes run slightly large. It's generally recommended to try on the trainers or consult a size guide. For UK size 9, you can expect a fit consistent with standard Converse sizing.
Do these trainers provide good ankle support?
Yes, the knee-high design, combined with the lace and zip closures, offers enhanced stability and support around the ankle and lower calf compared to traditional low or high-top trainers.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The canvas upper offers minimal water resistance. They are best suited for dry conditions. For wet weather, consider waterproof footwear to keep your feet dry and protect the trainers from damage.
What is the Ortholite insole?
Ortholite insoles are made of open-cell foam, providing long-lasting cushioning, breathability, and moisture management. They are designed to enhance comfort and reduce odor within the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable around the calf
Ensure the laces are not pulled too tightly, especially in the upper sections. You can try skipping eyelets or adjusting the lacing pattern for a looser fit around the calf. The zip should be fully extended before inserting your foot.
Difficulty getting trainers on or off
Always fully unzip the side zipper before attempting to put on or take off the trainers. Loosen the laces slightly if needed to create more room for your foot and leg.
Canvas appears dirty or stained
Spot clean immediately with a mild soap and cold water using a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn stains, a canvas cleaner designed for shoes can be used, following product instructions. Avoid machine washing.
Foot feels sweaty or uncomfortable after long wear
While the Ortholite insole provides cushioning, canvas can be less breathable than other materials. Wear moisture-wicking socks. Consider rotating your trainers to allow them to air out between wears.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Converse rubber soles provide good traction on most dry, indoor surfaces. Be cautious on wet, icy, or very smooth surfaces, as the traction may be reduced. Regularly check the sole for wear and tear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Remove trainers from packaging.
- Lace Up: Fully unlace the trainers or adjust the lacing to your preferred snugness. The laces contribute to the overall fit and aesthetic.
- Zip Up: Utilize the side zip closure for easy access. Unzip completely before inserting your foot.
- Fit Adjustment: Once your foot is in, zip up and then adjust the laces for a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure they are not too tight to restrict circulation or too loose to cause rubbing.
Compatibility
These trainers are highly versatile for casual fashion. They pair exceptionally well with:
- Skirts and Dresses: To add an edgy contrast or complete a casual, alternative look.
- Shorts: Allowing the full knee-high design to be visible and make a statement.
- Leggings or Skinny Jeans: Worn either inside the trainers or scrunched slightly over the top for different styling options.
- Layered Outfits: Complementing vests, oversized shirts, or jackets for a cohesive aesthetic.
Care
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub the affected area.
- Deep Cleaning (Canvas): For more thorough cleaning, hand wash with a mild detergent and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the canvas and color.
- Insoles: Remove `Ortholite` insoles and hand wash separately if needed, allowing them to air dry completely.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage and shrinkage. Do not put them in a dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and material degradation.
- Protection: Consider using a canvas protector spray for added resistance against stains and water, especially if worn frequently outdoors.
