An Icon of Independent Style
What began in 1917 as the "All-Star," has transformed into a global symbol of self-expression. After basketball player Chuck Taylor joined the company and helped refine the design, his signature was added to the ankle patch. While the All-Star dominated the courts for decades, its true legacy was cemented when it was adopted by counterculture.

FAQs
Do Converse run big or small?
Converse Chuck Taylor All Star shoes famously run a half to a full size large. For a snug, proper fit, it's highly recommended to order at least a half size down from your usual shoe size. If you have narrow feet, you might even consider going a full size down.
How can I clean Converse shoes?
The best way to clean canvas Converse shoes is by hand.
- Remove the laces and wash them separately in a mix of mild soap and water.
- Use a soft, damp brush or cloth to gently scrub the canvas with a mild soap or detergent solution.
- For the rubber soles and toe cap, a paste of baking soda and water works great.
- Rinse the shoes with a clean, damp cloth and let them air dry completely.
Can you put Converse shoes in the washing machine?
No, you should not put Converse shoes in the washing machine. Converse officially advises against it because the machine's heat and tumbling action can weaken the canvas, damage the glue that holds the sole together, and cause the shoes to lose their shape and fade.
How to lace up Converse shoes?
For a standard look on any Converse, use the criss-cross lacing technique. Start with a horizontal bar across the bottom eyelets. Then, cross the ends over and feed them through the next eyelets up on the opposite sides. Repeat this until you reach the top, adjusting for a comfortable fit before tying a knot.
