FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While comfortable for walking, the platform sole is not designed for high-impact running. They are best suited for casual wear and everyday activities.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Converse, considering your standard UK shoe size. These trainers are unisex, so consult the men's or women's sizing conversion if necessary.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash platform trainers, as it can damage the adhesives and materials. Hand washing is the preferred method for cleaning.
How much higher does the platform make me?
The exact height varies by design, but the Run Star Legacy platform typically adds a significant lift, often around 1.5 to 2 inches, creating a noticeable height difference.
What is the main difference between Run Star Legacy and other Converse models?
The primary difference is the prominent stacked platform sole, which offers substantially more height and a more modern, assertive aesthetic compared to classic Chuck Taylor All Stars.
Are the blue trainers true to the color shown?
Product images aim to be accurate, but slight variations in color may occur due to screen settings and lighting conditions during photography.
Troubleshooting
Initial discomfort from platform sole
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow your feet to adjust to the platform height and structure. Ensure laces are tied appropriately but not too tightly.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning both it and the inside of the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. A small amount of powder might help if the squeak persists.
Stains on the canvas or rubber
For canvas, use a mixture of mild soap and water with a soft brush. For the rubber sole, a damp cloth or a specialized shoe cleaner is recommended. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
