FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult UK sizing, though the platform structure can feel more rigid than flat sneakers.

Can I use these for running?

No, these are fashion trainers and are not designed for running or high-impact athletic performance.

How do I clean the canvas upper?

Spot clean with a soft brush and mild soap, then allow to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight.

Are they heavy to wear?

The platform sole does add weight compared to standard Converse models, which some wearers notice during long periods of walking.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own if needed.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty putting the shoes on due to the high tongue

Loosen the laces completely down to the third eyelet to open the collar, then tighten gradually once the foot is inside.

Scuffs on the white rubber platform

Use a specialized rubber eraser or a magic sponge dampened with water to gently buff away black scuff marks from the midsole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Adds significant height for a bold fashion statement
  • Durable build quality suitable for long-term everyday use
  • Versatile unisex design
  • Iconic Converse branding with a modern twist

Cons

  • Platform sole increases the overall weight of the shoe
  • Requires a break-in period for the stiff sole
  • Chunky design may not be suitable for high-intensity athletic activities

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, rotate them with other footwear to allow the materials to air out between wears. For cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap for the canvas and midsole area, ensuring you avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scuff the rubber. Because these are platform shoes, if you use custom orthotics, ensure they are compatible with the footbed depth to maintain a proper fit. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the sole adhesive from drying out.
