FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for rainy weather?
Suede is not inherently water-resistant. We strongly recommend applying a high-quality suede protector spray before wearing them in damp conditions. For heavy rain, it's best to choose alternative footwear to protect the suede.
How do I clean the premium suede material?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For scuffs, gently rub with a suede eraser. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized suede cleaner. Always allow shoes to air dry naturally and reapply protector spray after cleaning.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede and alter the shoe's structure. Always opt for hand-cleaning methods specific to suede.
How often should I reapply the suede protector?
We recommend reapplying suede protector every 1-2 months with regular wear, or after any deep cleaning, to maintain optimal protection against water and stains.
Are these shoes true to size?
Converse sizing can sometimes vary. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit. This particular pair is UK 10.5. If unsure, compare to your existing Converse sizes.
What is the primary material of these trainers?
The Converse Run Star Trainer (Brown) is crafted from premium suede for both its upper material and a comfortable feel.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or flat.
Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush to lift the nap and restore its texture. Brush in one direction for a uniform look.
Water spots appear on the suede.
Lightly dampen the entire shoe with a clean, damp cloth (avoid saturating). Allow to air dry completely, then brush with a suede brush. For prevention, use a waterproofing spray.
Persistent stains on the suede.
Use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. For tough stains, a professional shoe cleaner may be required.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you are wearing the correct sock thickness. Adjust lacing for a custom fit. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a footwear specialist for sizing advice.
Unpleasant odor from shoes.
Allow shoes to air out after each wear. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

Product Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the aesthetic of your suede Converse Run Star Trainers.
- Regular Cleaning:
- Brush Regularly: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap (the fuzzy texture).
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, gently rub with a suede eraser. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions.
- Protection: Reapply suede protector spray every few months, or as needed, especially after cleaning or exposure to adverse weather.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can damage suede.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape and prevent creasing when not in use.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or submerge in water. Avoid harsh chemicals or stiff brushes, which can damage the suede.
