FAQs

What does 'EVA Lift Foundation' mean?

The 'EVA Lift Foundation' refers to the sole design that incorporates EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) material for lightweight cushioning and a subtle elevation, providing enhanced comfort and a modern lifted look.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars generally have a standard fit. For children with wider feet, it's recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit. The lacing can offer some adjustability.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers as it can damage the materials and construction. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for proper cleaning methods.

Do these high-top trainers offer good ankle support?

Yes, the high-top design of these Chuck Taylor trainers naturally provides a degree of ankle support, which can be beneficial for stability during everyday activities and light play.

How do I choose the correct size for my child?

We recommend measuring your child's foot length and comparing it to the official Converse size chart. It's always best to try on shoes if possible, ensuring a thumb's width space at the toe and a secure heel fit.

Are these trainers durable enough for active children?

Yes, with their durable fabric upper and sturdy rubber outsole, they are designed to withstand the rigors of daily wear and typical children's activities. However, they are not intended for specialized sports or extreme conditions.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or too loose

Adjust the lacing system. Loosen the laces for more room or tighten them for a more snug fit, ensuring even tension across the foot. Ensure appropriate socks are being worn.

Squeaking sound when walking

Often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder inside the shoe, then reinserting the insole.

Fabric upper appears dirty or stained

For light dirt, wipe with a damp cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a soft brush with a mild soap solution. Always air dry completely.

Foot discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the trainers are properly broken in. If discomfort persists, check that the size is correct and consider different sock types or orthotic inserts if needed. High-tops sometimes require a short adjustment period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting Started

  1. Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded evenly through all eyelets. For a secure fit, tighten the laces from the bottom upwards, ensuring the foot is snug but not constricted.
  2. Fit Check: Have your child wear socks they would typically wear with the trainers. Check for about a thumb's width space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure, and the foot should not slide excessively.

Compatibility

These trainers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, skirts, and dresses. Their classic black high-top design makes them a staple for any child's wardrobe, easily pairing with both vibrant and neutral colors.

Care Instructions

  • General Cleaning: For light dirt, wipe the fabric upper and rubber outsole with a damp cloth using mild soap.
  • Deep Cleaning (Fabric): For stubborn stains on the fabric, a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used with a mixture of mild detergent and water. Gently scrub the affected area.
  • Drying: Always allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Sole Care: The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth to remove mud and grime, maintaining traction.
  • Odor Control: Remove insoles (if removable) occasionally to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers to keep them fresh.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or strong cleaning agents, as these can discolor or damage the fabric and rubber.
