FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities like running or training?
No, the Converse Run Star Trainer is designed for casual, everyday wear and style. While comfortable and durable, they are not intended for high-performance athletic activities.
How do I best clean the suede material?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or cleaner should be used, always testing on a small, inconspicuous area first. Avoid getting suede excessively wet.
Are these trainers true to size?
Converse typically runs true to size for most individuals, but fit can vary based on individual foot shape. We recommend consulting a size guide if you're unsure.
Can I wear these trainers in rainy weather?
Due to the suede material, it's best to avoid heavy rain to prevent water damage and staining. A water-repellent spray designed for suede can offer some protection.
What is the outsole made of and does it provide good grip?
The outsole is made of gum-coloured rubber, which is designed to provide good traction on various surfaces for everyday wear.
Is there a break-in period required for these trainers?
While generally comfortable from the start, like many new shoes, a short break-in period may allow the trainers to conform better to your foot shape, enhancing comfort over time.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across the foot. For persistent discomfort, consider trying a different size or adjusting sock thickness.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction for a uniform look.
Scuff marks on the material
For suede, use a suede eraser or a soft, dry cloth. For nylon, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Unpleasant odour developing
Allow trainers to air out after each wear. Consider using odour-absorbing inserts or baking soda to neutralize smells. Ensure trainers are completely dry before storage.
Gum outsole losing traction
Clean the outsole regularly to remove dirt and debris that can reduce grip. Use a stiff brush and water to scrub the tread patterns.

Care
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers:
- Suede Sections: Use a soft-bristle suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, a specialized suede eraser or cleaner can be used. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive water exposure, as suede can be sensitive to moisture.
- Nylon Sections: Wipe down nylon areas with a soft, damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap if necessary. Rinse the cloth and wipe again to remove any soap residue.
- Outsole: Clean the gum-coloured outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and maintain traction.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage or discolouration.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup and maintain their shape.
