FAQs

Are these sneakers waterproof?

While the leather upper is more water-resistant than canvas, they are not fully waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to protect the leather material.

Do I need to treat the leather before wearing?

It is recommended to apply a leather conditioner or protector spray to repel dirt and water, which extends the life of the leather.

Are the insoles removable?

The OrthoLite insoles in most modern Converse models are designed to be removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Converse Chuck Taylors typically run slightly large; some users prefer to go down a half-size, but your standard UK shoe size is generally the best starting point.

How do I keep the white rubber toe cap clean?

A magic eraser sponge or a mixture of baking soda and water on a toothbrush works effectively to remove scuffs from the rubber toe cap.

Troubleshooting

Creasing at the toe box

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather; using a cedar shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep wrinkles.

Difficulty putting on the shoes

Loosen the laces down to the mid-foot area to open the throat of the shoe wider, making it easier to slip your foot in.

Squeaking sounds while walking

This is often caused by the tongue rubbing against the eyelets or moisture inside the shoe. Ensure the tongue is centered and use a moisture-absorbing powder if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather construction is easier to clean than canvas
  • Versatile design pairs well with jeans, chinos, and shorts
  • Improved comfort thanks to the inclusion of OrthoLite cushioning
  • Timeless design that never goes out of style
  • Sturdy vulcanized rubber sole offers good traction

Cons

  • Leather may feel stiff initially and requires a break-in period
  • High-top style takes more time to put on than low-top alternatives
  • Less breathable than canvas versions due to the leather upper

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Converse trainers stay in prime condition, follow these steps:

Breaking in: Wear the sneakers for short periods during the first week to allow the leather to flex and conform to your foot shape.

Cleaning: Because the upper is leather, avoid submerging the shoes in water. Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner applied to a soft brush or cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.

Lacing: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your comfort level before tying; pulling them too tight across the bridge of the foot can restrict movement and lead to premature leather creasing.
