Full details
The Converse Kids' Chuck Taylor All Star Eva Platform Trainers are designed for children seeking a stylish and comfortable shoe with added height. The key benefit is the platform sole for visible lift and the lightweight, one-piece EVA build that simplifies the classic design.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday activities. While they offer comfort and support, they are not specialized sports shoes and may not provide the necessary performance or protection for high-impact athletic activities.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or manufacturer. It is recommended to measure your child's foot and compare it to the chart. Children's UK sizes are listed.
Can the platform sole be removed?
No, the platform sole is an integral part of the shoe's design and construction and cannot be removed.
What is the benefit of the one-piece EVA build?
The one-piece EVA build significantly reduces the weight of the shoe, making it lighter and more comfortable for children to wear throughout the day.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are typically made from canvas or synthetic materials and are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions.
What is the difference between these and standard Chuck Taylors?
The main difference is the addition of the Eva Platform sole, which adds height and a modern aesthetic. The construction also utilizes EVA for reduced weight.
Can these be worn by boys and girls?
Yes, these trainers are designed as unisex and are suitable for children of any gender.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or too loose
Adjust the lacing by tightening or loosening the knot, or re-lace the shoes using a different lacing technique for a custom fit.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for optimal comfort.
Scuff marks on the platform sole
Try gently cleaning the scuff marks with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, a magic eraser might be effective on EVA material, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
