FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
Converse footwear typically runs true to size for most individuals, but fit can vary. It's generally recommended to choose your usual UK adult shoe size. If you're between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these suede trainers in heavy rain or very wet conditions. Suede is sensitive to water and can become stained or damaged. For light moisture, ensure they are treated with a water-repellent suede protector.
How do I clean the white Egret parts?
For the Egret (off-white) accents and rubber sole, use a damp cloth with mild soap or a specialized sneaker cleaner. Gently wipe the affected areas, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth and let them air dry.
Are these suitable for running or sports?
No, the Converse Run Star Trainers are designed for casual wear and fashion purposes, not for running or performance sports. Their construction and materials are optimized for everyday comfort and style.
What is the 'Honey' accent colour?
The 'Honey' accent refers to a subtle, warm, yellowish-brown tone typically found on small details of the shoe, such as stitching or branding elements, adding a touch of contrast to the Black and Egret colourway.
How can I protect the suede from future stains?
To protect the suede, regularly apply a high-quality suede protector spray. Follow the product's instructions for application and reapplication. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. This helps restore its original texture and appearance.
Water spots or light stains on suede
Allow the area to dry completely. Then, use a suede eraser or a clean pencil eraser to gently rub the spot. Follow up with a suede brush. For tougher stains, a specialized suede cleaner may be needed.
Trainers feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the lacing. Ensure laces are snug but not constricting for a comfortable fit. Consider trying different lacing patterns if discomfort persists.
Unpleasant odour developing
Remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight, then tap it out in the morning. Ensure trainers are fully dry after wear.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
This can occur with new outsoles. Wear them on various surfaces to scuff them slightly, which often improves grip. Always be cautious on wet or very smooth surfaces.

Care Instructions
The premium suede material requires specific care to maintain its appearance and prolong its life. Proper care ensures your trainers stay looking fresh.
- Immediate Protection: Before first wear, it's highly recommended to treat your suede trainers with a suede protector spray. This helps repel water and prevent stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede. For tougher spots, use a specialized suede eraser or a clean pencil eraser.
- Spot Cleaning: For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. For dried stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for the material, following the product instructions carefully.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Avoid Water: Suede is sensitive to water. Try to avoid wearing your trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get thoroughly wet, allow them to dry completely before brushing.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
