FAQs
Are these Converse Run Star Trainers true to size?
Info needed: [Converse sizing can vary; generally, they may run slightly large. We recommend checking a size chart or trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit.]
Can I wear these for running or sports?
While styled as 'sports shoes,' the Converse Run Star Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and style, not high-performance running or intense athletic activities.
How do I protect the suede from water and stains?
We recommend applying a high-quality suede protector spray to the suede sections before the first wear and reapplying periodically. This will help repel water and resist stains.
What is the best way to clean the white accents?
The white accents on the sole and upper can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. A soft brush can help with textured areas, then wipe clean.
Are replacement laces available?
Converse offers a variety of replacement laces that may be compatible. Check the length and style of your current laces to find a suitable match.
Is the sole slippery in wet conditions?
The gum-colored rubber outsole provides good general traction. However, no shoe is entirely slip-proof, especially on extremely wet or icy surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
What is the main difference between these and classic Converse Chuck Taylors?
The Run Star Trainer features a distinctive Star Chevron legacy design, a mixed material upper (suede and nylon), and often a more structured sole than the traditional canvas Chuck Taylor, offering a different aesthetic and feel.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted.
Gently brush the affected areas with a suede brush to lift the nap and restore its texture.
Stubborn stains on suede.
Apply a specialized suede cleaner following the product instructions. For mud, let it dry completely then brush off.
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the lacing. Experiment with different lacing patterns for a more customized and comfortable fit.
Squeaking sound while walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between insoles and the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting insoles, or a small amount of baby powder under the insole.
Odor develops inside the shoes.
Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each use. Use shoe deodorizers, baking soda sprinkled inside overnight (then vacuumed out), or specialized shoe inserts to combat odor.

Care Instructions
- Uppers (Suede & Nylon): For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and revive the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner product specifically designed for the material. For nylon sections, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used. Always allow shoes to air dry away from direct heat.
- Lining & Cushioning (Textile): To refresh the interior, lightly dampen a cloth with a mild detergent solution and wipe the lining. Ensure thorough air drying.
- Sole (Rubber): Clean the gum-colored rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a soft brush and mild soap to remove dirt and maintain traction.
- General Care: Avoid machine washing or drying. Do not submerge shoes in water. Consider using a suede protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and stains. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
