FAQs
How do I clean the pink suede material?
Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specific suede cleaner for colored suede. Always test on a hidden spot first and follow product instructions carefully.
Are these Converse Run Star Trainers waterproof?
No, suede is not naturally waterproof. We highly recommend applying a good quality suede protector spray before wearing them, and reapplying regularly, to enhance water resistance.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can severely damage the suede material, alter the shoe's shape, and cause colors to bleed or fade.
How do I ensure I pick the correct size?
This specific model is a UK adult foot size 3.5. We suggest referring to an official Converse size chart and measuring your foot to ensure the best fit, especially if you are between sizes.
Are these suitable for athletic activities or sports?
The Converse Run Star Trainer is designed for everyday casual wear and light, recreational activities. It is not built for high-performance sports or intense physical training.
What does 'unisex' mean for this product?
The 'unisex' designation means that the design, styling, and sizing are developed to be comfortably and fashionably worn by individuals of any gender.
Will the pink color fade over time?
Like many colored materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can potentially cause fading. Storing your trainers away from direct light and using a UV-protective spray can help preserve the color.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty, dull, or stained.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For deeper stains, use a suede eraser or a small amount of suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Brush gently in one direction.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable upon first wear.
Suede material often needs a break-in period. Wear the trainers for short periods around the house to allow the material to soften and mold to your feet naturally.
Pink color appears to be fading.
Minimize prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh UV light, as this can cause colors to fade over time. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
Suede has become wet or water-stained.
Stuff the trainers with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Consider applying a water-repellent spray for future protection.
General wear and tear affecting appearance.
Regularly clean and protect your suede trainers as advised in the care section. Rotate your footwear to give them time to rest between wears, extending their lifespan.

Product Care & Maintenance (Suede)
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the beauty and longevity of your pink suede trainers. Suede is a delicate material that requires specific attention.
- Water Protection: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Apply a suede protector spray before the first wear and reapply periodically as per product instructions. This creates a barrier against moisture and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush (often with both wire and rubber bristles) to gently brush off loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For specific stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Gently rub the eraser over the stain or apply cleaner with a clean cloth.
- Drying Wet Suede: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can cause cracking or shrinking.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes not designed for suede, as these can damage the material and color.
