FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

The leather upper provides better resistance to water than canvas, but they are not waterproof and should not be submerged.

Do I need to size up for the leather version?

These trainers follow a standard fit. If you are between sizes, the half sizes available ensure you can find your optimal fit.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, washing leather shoes in a machine will damage the material and the vulcanized rubber bonds. Always wipe clean by hand.

What is the benefit of the OrthoLite insole?

OrthoLite insoles provide superior cushioning, are breathable, and help manage moisture to keep feet fresh throughout the day.

How do I maintain the black leather finish?

Keep them clean with a damp cloth and periodically apply a leather cream to maintain the shine and prevent the material from drying out.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff or tight upon first wear

Wear the shoes indoors for short periods with thick socks to allow the leather to stretch and conform to your foot shape naturally.

Scuffs appearing on the leather surface

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs. A matching black leather polish can cover deeper marks.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the laces are tightened evenly through the eyelets to maintain tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Converse leather hi-tops remain in top condition, follow these simple care steps:

  1. Initial Fit: Ensure the laces are loosened entirely before your first try-on, as the leather structure is firmer than fabric.
  2. Cleaning: The leather upper should be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically use a neutral leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking over time.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from fading or drying out.
  5. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard fit and are available in sizes 3-8 (UK), including half sizes, allowing for precise adjustment via the traditional lace-up system.
