FAQs

Are these trainers true to size?

Converse sizes can sometimes vary slightly. We recommend referring to the official Converse size guide for the most accurate fit. This specific pair is UK 9 for adults.

Can I machine wash my Run Star Trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the nylon, suede, and CX foam cushioning. Please follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care Instructions' section.

What is CX foam cushioning?

CX foam is Converse's proprietary cushioning technology designed to provide superior, responsive comfort and impact absorption, making the trainers comfortable for extended wear.

Are they suitable for running or intense sports?

While they offer a blend of sport and style with good cushioning and grip, the Run Star Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday activities, not for high-performance running or intense athletic training.

How do I clean the white parts of the trainers?

For the white nylon upper, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. For the white rubber sole, a damp cloth with soap or a magic eraser can be effective. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the material.

What materials are these trainers made from?

These trainers feature a flexible nylon upper complemented by durable suede overlays, and an iconic thick rubber sole, with CX foam cushioning inside.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes happen with new rubber soles. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder to the insole or outsole to reduce friction. Ensure the laces are tied securely.

Stains on suede overlays

Use a specialized suede brush or a suede eraser for dry stains. For wet stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth, then allow to dry before using a suede brush.

Uncomfortable fit

Ensure you have the correct size. Try different lacing techniques to adjust the tightness. The CX foam cushioning typically molds to your foot over time.

Sole appears dirty or discolored

Clean the rubber sole regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn scuffs, a magic eraser can be gently used on the rubber parts only.

Care Instructions

To maintain the premium aesthetic and extend the lifespan of your Run Star Trainers, follow these guidelines:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the flexible nylon upper: Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently wipe down the nylon areas. Avoid harsh scrubbing. For the durable suede overlays: Use a specialized suede brush or a dry cloth to gently remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be used. Avoid excessive moisture on suede.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap to clean the thick rubber sole.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  4. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  5. Avoid Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and colours.
