FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, but remember that leather models may feel slightly snugger than canvas until broken in.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash leather Converse, as it can damage the material and weaken the bonds in the rubber sole.
Are these waterproof?
While the leather upper is more water-resistant than canvas, they are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain or deep puddles.
Do they provide good arch support?
Like most classic Chuck Taylors, they provide moderate support. If you require specialized orthotics, the internal space is generally sufficient to accommodate custom insoles.
How do I maintain the white rubber sole?
Regularly wipe the white rubber areas with a damp cloth or a magic eraser to keep them looking bright and free of marks.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or scuffed
Use a leather conditioner or a neutral shoe cream to restore luster and buff away light scuffs with a soft cloth.
Rubber sole shows surface dirt
Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water applied with a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the midsole.
Tight fit during initial wear
Wear the shoes for shorter periods initially to allow the leather to stretch and mold to the specific shape of your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your leather trainers remain in top condition, wipe down the leather upper with a damp, soft cloth after use to remove surface dirt and salt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives used in the vulcanization process. For the rubber toe cap and midsole, a mild soap and a soft brush can be used to remove scuffs and debris. Ensure the laces are securely fastened to maintain arch support. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading.
