FAQs
What materials are used in the Converse Run Star Trainer?
The upper is made from 67% suede and 33% textile. The lining is 100% textile, and the sole is 100% rubber.
How should I clean the suede parts of my trainers?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Avoid water and harsh chemicals. Apply a suede protector spray for preventative care.
Are these trainers suitable for intense sports or running?
While categorized as a 'sports shoe,' their flat heel and suede material make them best suited for casual wear, light activities, and urban exploration, rather than intense running or high-impact sports.
Are the Converse Run Star Trainers waterproof?
The product description does not indicate waterproof properties. Suede is generally not waterproof and should be protected from moisture to prevent damage.
How do I ensure a good fit with the lace-up fastening?
The lace-up fastening allows you to adjust the tightness. Start lacing from the bottom and gradually tighten as you move up to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit around your foot.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, due to the suede material and overall construction, machine washing is not recommended. It can cause damage. Spot clean only as per the care instructions.
What type of heel do these trainers have?
They feature a flat heel design for stability and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Laces constantly come undone.
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. You might also explore different lacing techniques like the 'surgeon's knot' for better security.
Suede appears dirty, scuffed, or matted.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of suede cleaner as directed by the product instructions. Avoid excessive rubbing or harsh chemicals.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Re-adjust the lacing tension from the bottom eyelets upwards to customize the fit. Ensure you have the correct size; this specific model is a UK 4. Consider trying different socks for minor adjustments.
Slipping on certain surfaces.
Check the rubber sole for excessive wear or accumulation of dirt and debris. Clean the sole thoroughly with a damp cloth to restore traction. If the sole is significantly worn, consider professional repair or replacement.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Converse Run Star Trainers, especially the suede components.
- Suede Uppers (67% Suede):
- Brush Regularly: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap.
- Spot Clean: For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid scrubbing vigorously.
- Water Protection: Suede is not naturally water-resistant. Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter.
- Avoid Water: Do not soak or machine wash suede trainers. If they get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and let them air dry away from direct heat.
- Textile Areas (33% Textile Upper, 100% Textile Lining):
- Spot Clean: Use a mild soap diluted in water and a soft cloth to gently clean textile surfaces. Blot rather than rub.
- Air Dry: Always allow the trainers to air dry completely after cleaning, away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Rubber Sole (100% Rubber):
- Wipe Clean: Use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe away dirt and grime from the rubber sole.
