FAQs
Is the Converse The 10 Chuck Taylor true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, similar to standard Chuck Taylor high-tops.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to hand clean only to protect the translucent upper and signature lettering.
What is the 'Ghosting' series?
The 'Ghosting' series is a segment of the Off-White x Converse collaboration that focuses on translucent materials and deconstructed design.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, this model is designed as a unisex trainer.
Will the translucent sole yellow over time?
Like most translucent soles, they may experience oxidation over time. Storing them out of direct sunlight helps slow this process.
Troubleshooting
Translucent material appears cloudy
Gently clean the surface with a microfiber cloth and a very mild soap solution. Ensure you dry it immediately to prevent water spotting.
Creasing on the upper
This is a natural characteristic of the materials used in the 'Ghosting' series. Using a shoe tree when not in use can help minimize further deep creasing.
Scuffs on the white rubber toecap
Use a standard white rubber eraser or a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe to gently buff out surface scuffs from the midsole and toecap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines: Keep them away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent yellowing of the translucent components. If cleaning is necessary, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution, gently wiping the surface to avoid scratching the semi-transparent material. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can cloud the translucent finish. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree to help maintain the structural integrity of the high-top shape.
