Converse Run Star Hike Trainers - Black/White - UK 6

No, despite the 'Hike' in their name, these are fashion trainers designed for urban environments and casual wear. They are not built for rugged terrain, extensive trails, or performance hiking.

Converse sizing can sometimes run slightly different from other brands. We recommend checking the official Converse sizing guide, or if possible, trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially given the platform design.

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the canvas, adhesives, and the structural integrity of the platform sole. Always opt for spot cleaning as described in the care instructions.

An Ortholite insole is a specialized foam insole known for its cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties. It provides long-lasting comfort and support, enhancing the overall wear experience of the trainers.

The jagged rubber sole serves two main purposes: it provides enhanced grip and traction on various surfaces, and it contributes significantly to the unique, modern, and futuristic aesthetic of the Run Star Hike design.

While the platform adds some weight compared to traditional flat-soled trainers, the design is balanced for comfortable everyday wear. The Ortholite insole also helps mitigate any potential discomfort from the added sole height.

This is common with new shoes, especially those with platform soles. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot. Ensure you have the correct size to prevent discomfort.

For light dirt, gently brush it off. For tougher stains, use a soft cloth or brush with a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) and lukewarm water. Dab and gently scrub the affected area, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid saturating the canvas. Air dry completely.

Regularly clean the sole using a damp cloth or soft brush to remove accumulated dirt, mud, or small pebbles from the grooves. This helps maintain the sole's traction and appearance. For deeper cleaning, a toothbrush can be effective.
