Do You Clean Your Chucks?

Chuck Taylor - Converse Chuck Taylors. The basic design hasn't change since the 50s. Its a classic show that stood the test of time.

I love my Chuck Taylors. I own 5 pairs of them. I keep them clean all the time that's why they always look new. The canvass ones, I just throw them in the washing machine to keep them clean. Then I brush the rubber soles to make them white. The leather ones are easier, just a few wipes then they're good as new. A friend asked me why I do this because he said that Chucks are meant to be dirty. I really don't know why, I just like my shoes clean. Do you clean your Chuck Taylors?

I like to make my shoes clean when they're too dirty from my view. I think it's an attitute so will be different from person to person. I think maybe you like keeping clean for everything much more than the others. hehe, Keep clean is a good habit, just do whatever you wanna to do lol

Oh! I was confused at first. You mean Converse shoes. Yes I used to have a few pairs, but the got worn out and I never bought anymore. I like New balance and Adidas now. I have lots of pairs of them. I like the bounce ones. I try to keep mine clean, but as you friend says shoes are meant to be dirty so I don't keep them clean like you. However, as you said, I do put shoes in the washer from time to time to keep them looking nice. Cheers! Happy myLotting & keep on Roxing!

Be ware of what your chuck taylors make of and choose suitable cleanser coz some cleansing substance may erode the fibre that might causes transformations.
