FAQs

Are these sneakers waterproof?

While the leather upper is more water-resistant than canvas, it is not waterproof. Avoid submerging them in water.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can cause the leather to dry out, crack, or lose its shape. Clean them by hand only.

Do the insoles come out?

The OrthoLite insoles are designed for comfort but are typically intended to stay inside the shoe.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Chuck Taylor silhouette has a relatively slim profile. The leather will stretch slightly, but those with wider feet may need to size up.

How do I keep the rubber toe cap white?

Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water with an old toothbrush to scrub away dirt.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or dusty

Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and apply a small amount of leather shoe cream to restore the shine.

Shoes feel tight during first use

Leather will naturally stretch and mold to your feet over time; wear them for short periods initially to speed up the break-in process.

Creasing at the toe area

This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; using cedar shoe trees when not in use can help minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Converse leather sneakers last, proper maintenance is key. Since these are made from premium leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the finish. Instead, wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. When storing your shoes, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the black dye. If you are fitting these for the first time, ensure your socks provide enough thickness to prevent friction while the leather adapts to the shape of your foot during the initial break-in period.
