Despite being categorized as 'Hiking Shoes' in some listings, the Converse Run Star Hike Hi is primarily designed as a fashion and lifestyle sneaker for urban environments and street style.

Canvas material, especially in lighter colors, can show dirt more readily. Regularly clean the canvas with a soft brush or cloth, mild soap, and cold water. For persistent marks, consider using a sneaker cleaning solution specifically designed for canvas materials. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Regularly clean the jagged rubber outsole with a stiff brush and mild soapy water to remove accumulated dirt, debris, and grime. This helps maintain its traction and keeps the rubber looking fresh.
