FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

While the leather construction is more water-resistant than canvas, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.

Do I need to size up for the platform version?

Generally, Converse sizing runs a half-size larger than standard sneakers. It is usually best to stick to your standard Converse size.

How do I remove scuffs from the white leather?

Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with a mild soap solution, gently rubbing the scuffed area.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own orthotics or custom cushioning.

Is the platform sole heavy?

The platform sole is denser and heavier than the standard flat rubber sole, which adds to the stability of the shoe.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The lace-up design provides good adjustability, but the leather may take longer to stretch compared to canvas.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or loses its sheen

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a leather-safe cream to restore moisture and shine.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure a double knot or look for flat cotton laces which provide better friction than synthetic options.

Discomfort around the ankle

Use a taller sock during the break-in period to prevent friction against the high-top collar.

Pros and Cons

  • Timeless design pairs well with both jeans and skirts

Cons

  • Platform sole adds noticeable weight compared to original models
  • Leather may feel stiff initially and requires a break-in period
  • Limited flexibility in the sole due to the thick platform construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your leather Converse, keep them away from excessive heat sources to prevent cracking. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for routine surface cleaning; avoid submerging them in water. Because the leather may feel rigid, wear them for shorter intervals during the first week to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot. For compatibility, these trainers run true to standard Converse sizing, which often fits slightly larger than traditional dress shoes; consider wearing medium-weight socks to optimize the fit.
