FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Converse sizing can sometimes run slightly large or narrow depending on the specific model. For this UK size 8 pair, it's generally recommended to stick to your usual Converse size, but if you're unsure or have wider feet, trying them on or consulting a detailed size chart is advised.
How much height do these shoes add?
The 'double stack' platform sole significantly elevates your height. While an exact measurement is not provided, you can expect a noticeable and impactful lift compared to standard flat-soled sneakers.
Can I wear these for sports or running?
These sneakers are designed for fashion and casual wear, not for athletic performance like running or intense sports. The platform sole and canvas construction are best suited for everyday activities and style statements.
What is the material of the sole?
The elevated sole is made from EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate), which is a lightweight and cushioned material, combined with a durable rubber tread for traction.
How do I keep the red canvas from fading?
To help prevent fading, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. When cleaning, use cold water and mild soap, and always air dry indoors or in a shaded area. Harsh chemicals or machine washing can also contribute to color fading.
Is the high-top design comfortable around the ankle?
Yes, the high-top design provides support and coverage around the ankle. The canvas material is flexible and will soften over time, conforming to your ankle for comfortable wear. Ensure laces are tied correctly to avoid discomfort.
Troubleshooting
The platform sole feels unfamiliar or uncomfortable.
The stacked sole offers a different feel than traditional flat sneakers. Allow a brief break-in period for your feet to adjust. Wearing thicker socks initially can also help improve comfort.
Canvas upper appears dirty or stained.
Spot clean the canvas using a mixture of mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry.
Slipping on smooth surfaces.
Ensure the rubber tread is clean and free of debris that might reduce traction. Check for any wear on the tread patterns, although this is unlikely for new shoes.
Laces constantly come undone.
Try double-knotting your laces for a more secure fit. You can also experiment with different lacing techniques that may offer better retention.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Your Converse Lift High Double Stack sneakers come ready to wear straight out of the box. Simply unlace them, slide your feet in, and adjust the laces to your preferred tightness for a secure and comfortable fit.
Compatibility: These sneakers are highly versatile in terms of style compatibility. They pair well with a wide range of casual and smart-casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, skirts, and dresses. They are suitable for adult wearers, specifically designed as women's footwear in a UK size 8, though Converse sizing can sometimes be unisex in feel.
Care: Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your sneakers:
- Cleaning the Canvas Upper: For light dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe the canvas. For tougher stains, mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with cold water and gently scrub the affected area with a soft brush. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue.
- Cleaning the EVA Sole: Wipe the platform sole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and scuffs. For stubborn marks, a mild abrasive cleaner designed for rubber can be used carefully.
- Drying: Always allow your sneakers to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage the materials.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can cause damage to the shoe's structure, adhesives, and canvas material.
