FAQs
What material are these trainers made from?
These Converse Run Star Trainers are primarily crafted from suede.
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they are designed for a standard fit and are considered true to size.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
Suede is sensitive to water. It is recommended to apply a suede protector spray if you anticipate exposure to moisture and to avoid heavy rain.
How do I clean the suede?
Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt and a suede cleaner for stains. Avoid machine washing and harsh chemicals.
Are these suitable for both men and women?
Yes, the Converse Run Star Trainer is designed to be a unisex shoe.
What type of fastening do these shoes have?
They feature traditional lace fastening for a secure and adjustable fit.
What is a 'low-top' shoe?
A low-top shoe is one where the upper part of the shoe does not extend above the ankle, offering more freedom of movement.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the laces. Loosen them for more room or tighten for a more secure fit. Ensure you are lacing them evenly from bottom to top.
Suede looks dull or dusty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush away dirt and restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction for best results.
Water stains on suede
If the stain is fresh, blot gently with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, you may need a specialized suede cleaner or a light application of distilled water followed by brushing once dry.
Laces frequently come undone
Ensure you are tying a secure knot, such as a double knot. You can also re-lace the shoes using a different method, such as 'straight lacing', which can sometimes hold better.
Squeaking sound when walking
Check if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe; removing and reinserting it might help. Sometimes, a small amount of baby powder under the insole can reduce friction. If the sole itself squeaks, it might be due to moisture or a minor manufacturing variation.

Product Care
Given the suede material, proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers.
- Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner to a clean cloth and gently blot the affected area. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous spot first.
- Water Protection: Suede is sensitive to water. Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter, especially if you anticipate exposure to moisture.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent fading and material degradation. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry suede shoes, as this can severely damage the material.
