FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Converse Chuck Taylors often run slightly larger than standard dress shoes. It is recommended to try them on or consult a size chart if you are between sizes.

Can I put these in the dryer?

No. The heat from a dryer can damage the rubber foxing and cause the glue to lose its bond. Always air dry your trainers.

Are these suitable for people with flat feet?

The Chuck Taylor All Star features a flat sole with very little arch support. If you have flat feet, you may wish to add an aftermarket insole.

How do I keep the purple canvas from fading?

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and store them indoors when not in use to preserve the colour saturation.

Can these be worn in wet weather?

While they are durable, the canvas upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or light-weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Laces constantly coming untied

Try a double knot or replace with shorter, textured laces for better grip.

Canvas becoming dirty

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the fabric.

Rubber sides getting scuffed

A common 'magic eraser' sponge works effectively to remove scuff marks from the white rubber toe cap and sole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless design that pairs well with most casual clothing
  • Durable build quality for long-term wear
  • Bold and unique purple colourway
  • Lightweight compared to heavy boots or bulky sneakers

Cons

  • Minimal arch support for long-distance walking
  • Canvas material can be difficult to clean once stained
  • Flat soles may not be suitable for those requiring orthotics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers feature a classic lace-up design, you can customize the fit by adjusting the tension of the laces across the midfoot. For care, it is recommended to spot clean the canvas upper with a mild detergent and a soft cloth; avoid putting them in a washing machine, as high-heat agitation can weaken the rubber adhesive. To maintain the vibrant purple colour, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Given their unisex sizing, ensure you verify your UK shoe size against standard Converse sizing guides, as they sometimes run slightly large compared to other footwear brands.
