FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday use. While they offer comfort and support, they are not specifically engineered for strenuous athletic activities like running.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the Converse size guide for accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart. Many users find they wear their standard Converse size.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The canvas upper is not waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended. For wet conditions, consider shoes with water-resistant materials. Ensure they are thoroughly dried if they do get wet.

What is the main difference between these and classic Chuck Taylors?

The primary difference is the significantly elevated platform sole and the CX foam insole, which provide enhanced cushioning and a bolder aesthetic compared to traditional, flatter Chuck Taylor models.

How is the grip on the sole?

The rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable traction on most common surfaces for everyday wear.

What does 'CX' stand for in Run Star Legacy CX?

CX in this context refers to Converse's Comfort-Exploration technology, indicating the use of enhanced cushioning materials like the CX foam insole for improved comfort.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from the sole

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try inserting a powder (like talcum powder) between the insole and the shoe base, or ensure the laces are properly tightened.

Discomfort from the platform

Allow the shoes a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time as the shoe molds to your foot.

Dirt or stains on canvas

Use a gentle cleaning method with mild soap and water. For stubborn stains, consider a specialized canvas shoe cleaner, following product instructions.

Laces fraying

Replace laces with standard shoe laces of a similar length. Converse offers replacement laces, or any compatible third-party laces can be used.
