FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Converse trainers typically run slightly large compared to other athletic brands; consider this when selecting your size.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives on the platform sole. Stick to manual surface cleaning.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While leather is more water-resistant than canvas, it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain or deep puddles to protect the material.
Does the platform sole affect stability?
The platform sole provides a sturdy base, though it may feel different if you are used to lower-profile shoes. Ensure you tie the laces securely for optimal stability.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, if you require specific arch support, the factory insoles can usually be removed to accommodate custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows creases after wear
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather; using shoe trees when not worn helps maintain the shoe's shape.
Shoes feel stiff during first use
Leather requires a break-in period; wear them for short durations initially to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
Rubber sole becomes discoloured
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a gentle mixture of baking soda and water with a soft brush to restore the white colour of the sole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your leather Converse trainers remain in top condition, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after wear to remove surface dirt and dust.
- Stains: For minor scuffs on the rubber platform or leather, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush; avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the finish.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your comfort level; while the high-top provides ankle support, avoid over-tightening as it can restrict natural movement.
