FAQs
Are the Converse Run Star Hike Platform Trainers true to size?
Generally, they fit true to size. However, due to the platform sole, some users prefer to size up for a slightly roomier fit, especially if they have wider feet. It is recommended to check specific sizing charts or try them on if possible.
How much higher does the platform sole make me?
The platform sole adds significant height, typically several inches. The exact measurement can vary slightly by model but provides a substantial lift.
Can I wear these for running or athletic activities?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. They are not recommended for high-impact sports or running due to their structure and weight.
How should I clean the platform sole?
Wipe the platform sole with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a soft brush with mild soap and water can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth. Ensure to dry thoroughly.
What is the main difference between these and regular Converse trainers?
The primary difference is the significantly thicker platform sole and the sculpted, dimensional profile of the upper, which offers a modern, elevated aesthetic compared to traditional flat-soled Converse shoes.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
While the canvas upper can be treated for some water resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a more textured pair that offers better grip.
Discomfort on the balls of the feet
The platform design can alter weight distribution. Allow for a break-in period. Consider using cushioned insoles for added comfort.
Difficulty walking on uneven surfaces
The platform sole provides less flexibility than traditional trainers. Exercise caution when walking on uneven terrain.
Squeaking noise during wear
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or a dry lubricant to the tongue or inner sole area.
