FAQs
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While leather provides better resistance to light rain than canvas, it is not fully waterproof and should be treated with a leather protectant for added resilience.
How do these fit compared to other sneakers?
Converse typically runs slightly large. It is often recommended to order a half-size smaller than your standard athletic shoe size if you prefer a tighter fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather, glue, and structural integrity of the shoe. Always clean them by hand.
Does the leather require special conditioning?
Applying a high-quality leather conditioner every few months will help keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The standard Chuck Taylor fit is relatively slim; if you have wide feet, you may find them restrictive and might need to size up or seek a wide-fit variant.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Stubborn scuff marks on the white finish
Use a specialized white leather cleaner or a gentle magic eraser lightly dampened with water to buff out scuffs.
Squeaking sound when walking
This is often caused by moisture under the insole; remove the insole, let it dry completely, and sprinkle a tiny amount of talcum powder inside if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines. Upon purchase, ensure the fit is snug but comfortable; leather will slightly stretch and contour to your foot over time. To clean the white leather, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution, wiping gently to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial chemicals that may strip the leather finish. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, as intense heat can cause the leather to crack or lose its shape. Treat the leather with a protective spray if you plan on wearing them in damp conditions.
