FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally run true to size, though the leather upper may feel snug initially compared to canvas versions.

Is the leather upper waterproof?

While leather is naturally water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray to enhance weather resistance.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the internal insoles can be swapped out if you require additional orthotic support or cushioning.

How high is the platform sole?

The platform sole provides a 3cm lift, which is characteristic of the Chuck Taylor Lift series.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The classic Chuck Taylor silhouette is relatively narrow. If you have very wide feet, you may find the leather takes longer to stretch comfortably.

Do they provide ankle support?

As a hi-top model, they cover the ankle and provide a snug, secure fit, though they are not designed as high-performance athletic boots.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Use wooden or plastic shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to help them maintain their shape and minimize deep creases.

Stiff leather feel during initial wear

Wear the trainers for short periods around the house with thick socks to gently stretch and soften the leather before long-distance walking.

White rubber sole showing scuffs

Use a specialized rubber eraser or a magic sponge dampened with water to gently lift dark scuff marks from the side of the platform.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Heavier than standard flat-sole Converse models
  • Leather material may require a break-in period
  • Limited ventilation compared to traditional canvas models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers maintain their look and longevity, follow these care steps:

  1. Initial Protection: Apply a leather-appropriate water and stain repellent spray before first use to guard against dirt and moisture.
  2. Routine Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the leather upper. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner.
  3. Sole Maintenance: Keep the white rubber platform clean by scrubbing gently with a soft brush and a mix of water and mild soap.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack or the rubber glue to degrade.
  5. Lacing: Ensure laces are kept properly tightened to support the ankle, as the hi-top design provides less support if worn too loosely.
