🏷️ What brand is Converse?
Converse is an American brand founded in 1908, which has become iconic thanks to its Chuck Taylor All Star trainer — one of the best-selling shoes in history. Originally worn by professional basketball players, the Chuck Taylor has established itself as a staple of streetwear and rock culture since the 1960s. Now owned by Nike, Converse also offers the Jack Purcell and One Star models, as well as regular collaborations with artists and designers.
📏 Are Converse sizes true to size?
Converse Chuck Taylors run large and narrow — it is generally advisable to go half a size to a full size smaller than your usual size. The Chuck 70 models (the premium version of the Chuck Taylor) also run large. The One Star and Jack Purcell models are more true to size. Converse provides a size guide on its website to help you choose.
💡 Tip: if you have wide feet, the canvas Chuck Taylors will soften with wear and mould to your feet — there’s no need to go a size larger, as the canvas naturally stretches.
🎨 Can you customise your Converse?
Yes, Converse offers a “By You” customisation service on its official website. You can choose the colours of the upper, laces, sole and star, and add text to the tongue. Customisation is available on the Chuck Taylor All Star, Chuck 70 and a few other selected models. Production times are approximately 3 to 4 weeks.
🔖 When does Converse offer its best deals?
The biggest discounts appear during Black Friday, the winter and summer sales, and during private sales reserved for newsletter subscribers. Converse has an Outlet section with permanent discounts on discontinued colours and past collections. Limited-edition collaborations, however, are rarely discounted.
