Can I use orthotic insoles with these shoes?
Yes, the standard insole can often be removed or supplemented with a thin orthotic insole if you require additional arch support.
How do I maintain the leather quality?
Regularly wipe away dirt and apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the material supple.
Is this a unisex shoe?

Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff after first wearing
Wear the shoes for short periods around the house with thicker socks to help the material stretch and conform to your foot shape.
Scuff marks on the leather surface
Gently buff the area with a soft cloth and a small amount of black leather shoe polish to conceal scuffs.
The rubber sole is losing its white brightness
Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water with a toothbrush to gently scrub the sidewalls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Chuck Taylor All Star Leather Ox, ensure you verify the UK sizing before wearing them outside to maintain the condition of the soles. Because these are leather, they may feel slightly stiff initially. You can use a leather conditioner to help soften the material and prevent cracking over time.
For cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water. Instead, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. If the leather begins to dull, use a black leather cream or polish to restore the deep, rich colour. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading.
