FAQs
How do I clean Converse shoes?
Whether you’re cleaning Converse high tops or Converse platform shoes, keeping them fresh helps extend their wear. Start by removing the laces and soaking them in a solution of water and mild dish soap. Use lukewarm water and a soft cloth to gently clean the canvas, and scrub the rubber base and toe cap with a toothbrush dipped in the same solution. Allow shoes to air-dry completely.
The process for cleaning white Converse is similar for any color. Remove laces, brush off loose dirt, mix dish soap with water, scrub gently, rinse, and air-dry. For tougher stains, apply a paste made from 1 tablespoon baking soda, ½ tablespoon hydrogen peroxide, and ½ tablespoon warm water. Let it sit for about 30 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
How do I lace Converse?
How you lace your Converse shoes adds a personal touch to your style. There are several popular lacing techniques that change both the look and fit of your sneakers. Experiment with different patterns to find the one that suits you best—these styles work on more than just Converse.

How does Converse sizing run?
Sizing is consistent across Converse basketball shoes, high tops, and classic styles. On average, Converse sneakers run large. We recommend sizing down a half size or a full size for the best fit.
Are Converse shoes good for basketball?
Converse shoes were originally created for basketball and played a major role in the sport’s early history. Legendary players like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird wore Converse during their rookie seasons. While classic flat-soled styles have been surpassed by modern performance designs, updated models like the Converse SHAI 001 feature enhanced cushioning, foam collars, and a Nike Zoom unit for improved comfort and shock absorption.
Can I use Converse as gym shoes?
Converse shoes work well for certain gym activities, especially weightlifting, light strength training, and casual workouts. Their flat, stable sole provides a solid base for lifting. However, they may not offer enough cushioning or support for high-impact activities like running or intense cardio.
