FAQs

How do I ensure I order the correct size?

Converse sizing can vary. Always confirm your UK size. It is recommended to try the shoes on before purchase if possible, or carefully consult a sizing guide that specifies UK measurements.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They do not provide the specialized support and cushioning required for running or other athletic sports.

How often should I clean my canvas trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after exposure to dirt or spills. Regular spot cleaning can help maintain their appearance.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

It is generally not recommended to machine wash canvas trainers as it can damage the adhesive and shape of the shoe. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Please refer to the sizing chart and ensure you are checking against the UK size. Converse sizing can differ between US, UK, and EU. Try them on before returning if possible.

Canvas appears stained

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, a soft brush may help. Allow to air dry.

Sole is dirty

Use a damp cloth or an old toothbrush to clean the rubber sole. A mild cleaning solution can be used for tougher grime.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not tight fit. Consider using insoles for added cushioning or support if needed.
