FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather upper is water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
How do I clean the white rubber sole?
Use a soft brush and mild soapy water to scrub the rubber edges, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Do these fit true to size?
Most users find that Converse Chuck Taylors run slightly large. If you are between sizes, it is often recommended to size down.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, washing leather shoes in a machine will damage the material and the adhesive. Always clean by hand.
Are these suitable for sports?
These are lifestyle sneakers and are not intended for high-impact sports or gym performance.
Does the black leather fade?
Like all leather, it may fade slightly with years of heavy sun exposure, but leather conditioner helps maintain the depth of color.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too stiff
Wear the shoes with thick socks for short periods at home to gently stretch the material.
Scuff marks on the black leather
Use a black leather polish or a neutral leather cream to buff out surface scuffs and restore the shine.
Squeaking sound when walking
This is common with new leather shoes; applying a little talcum powder under the removable insole can help reduce noise.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Converse leather shoes last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dust and dirt using a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather-safe cleaner.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to prevent the material from cracking or drying out.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the black finish over time.
- Compatibility: These are standard UK size fittings; if you are between sizes, consider trying them on with the specific socks you intend to wear most often.
