FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

Converse sizing can sometimes vary. These trainers are generally designed to fit true to size for a comfortable fit. If you are between sizes, consider consulting a Converse size guide.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

The canvas upper is not waterproof. While durable, it's best to avoid heavy rain to protect the material and keep your feet dry. Prolonged exposure to moisture can also affect the shoe's longevity.

How do I clean the white stitching and eyelets?

For white stitching and eyelets, use a small, soft brush (like an old toothbrush) with a damp cloth and mild soap. Gently scrub to remove dirt and then wipe clean. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is the platform sole heavy?

The double-stacked rubber platform sole adds some weight compared to standard Converse trainers, contributing to its robust feel and durability. However, the design aims to balance style with wearability for everyday comfort.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

Converse typically has a standard fit. For wide feet, some users find sizing up by half a size provides more comfort, but individual fit preference may vary.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is expertly crafted from durable and breathable textile (canvas) material, offering a classic look and comfortable wear.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel stiff or unusual to walk in.

This is common with platform soles. Wear them for short periods initially to allow your feet and gait to adjust to the added height and sole thickness. The padded insole will conform over time.

Canvas upper appears dirty or scuffed quickly.

Regular, gentle cleaning is key. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for light marks. For deeper cleaning, specialized canvas shoe cleaners can be used sparingly. Always air dry completely.

White laces get dirty easily.

Remove the laces and hand-wash them in warm water with a small amount of laundry detergent or bleach solution (for white laces only). Rinse thoroughly and air dry before re-lacing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elevates style and adds significant height
  • Versatile unisex design for broad appeal
  • Durable construction for long-lasting wear
  • Comfortable with padded insole for daily use
  • Classic yet modern aesthetic with iconic branding

Cons

  • Chunky platform sole may require adjustment for some users
  • Textile upper can show dirt more easily and may require regular cleaning
  • Not waterproof; less suitable for wet weather conditions
  • Heavier than standard Converse All Stars due to the platform sole

Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelets and tied securely. Adjust tightness for optimal comfort and support. Consider a double knot if laces tend to come undone easily.
  2. First Wear: Walk around indoors to get accustomed to the elevated platform sole.

Compatibility

  • Unisex Design: These trainers are designed for both men and women.
  • Versatile Styling: Compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, chinos, shorts, skirts, and casual dresses.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning the Canvas Upper: Gently wipe the black canvas with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing vigorously, as this can damage the fabric.
  • Cleaning the Rubber Sole and Toe Cap: Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe away dirt and scuffs from the platform sole and rubber toe cap. A soft brush can help with stubborn marks.
  • Lace Care: Laces can be removed and hand-washed separately with mild detergent, then air-dried.
  • Drying: Always air-dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, to prevent material damage or shrinking.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can compromise the shoe's structure, materials, and adhesives.
