FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
No, the Converse Run Star Trainer is designed primarily for casual everyday wear and comfort, not for high-performance running or intensive sports activities.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede cleaner for tougher stains. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first and let them air dry naturally.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The suede material is not naturally waterproof. We recommend applying a suede protector spray to help repel water and stains, and avoiding heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture.
What is the sizing like for these shoes?
This specific pair is a UK 10.5. Converse typically runs true to size, but we recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially with the padded features.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede shoes as it can damage the material and construction. Always follow the specific care instructions for suede.
How can I prevent the shoes from smelling?
Allow your shoes to air out after each wear. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in small, circular motions or in one consistent direction.
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lace-up fastening. Ensure the laces are evenly tightened across the foot for optimal comfort and fit. The padded tongue and cuff should sit comfortably.
Sole appears dirty or has lost grip
Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. A soft-bristled brush can help remove dirt from the textured grip tread. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.
Shoes get wet and look discolored
Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to gently restore the texture and color. Consider applying a suede protector spray for future prevention.

- Suede Cleaning: For general dirt and scuffs, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove debris. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to guard against water and stains.

- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help them retain their shape.
