FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The leather upper provides better resistance to light moisture than canvas, but they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
Do I need to size down?
Converse Chuck Taylors typically run large. Many users find it helpful to size down half a size compared to their standard athletic sneaker size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can ruin the leather and the glue binding the sole. Clean them by hand only.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The silhouette is relatively slim. If you have very wide feet, you may find the standard width restrictive.
How do I maintain the leather?
Keep them away from direct heat sources and apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the standard insole can be removed if you prefer to use your own orthotic inserts.
Troubleshooting
Stiff leather feel during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods with thick socks to help the leather stretch and contour to your foot shape naturally.
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp soft cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs.
Rubber sole looking dull
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to scrub the rubber midsole back to its original white or clean finish.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable leather material is more resilient to dirt than canvas
- Classic, timeless design pairs well with almost any wardrobe
- Low-top cut provides a lightweight, comfortable feel for all-day wear

Cons
- Leather requires a short break-in period to soften
- Less breathable than canvas versions during peak summer heat
- Minimal arch support, which may require aftermarket insoles for some users
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your sneakers last, follow these care tips. Since the upper is genuine leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the finish and structure. Instead, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and use a leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking.
Regarding compatibility, these shoes run true to the classic Chuck Taylor sizing, which can sometimes be slightly larger than standard athletic shoe sizing. It is recommended to try them on with your preferred daily socks to ensure a proper fit. If you require extra arch support, the factory insoles are removable, allowing for easy placement of custom orthotic inserts.
