FAQs

Are these shoes specifically for skateboarding?

Yes, the Converse Cons One Star Pro series is 'reborn for your skateboard,' featuring enhanced durability, board feel, and grip tailored for skateboarding performance. However, their classic style also makes them suitable for casual wear.

How do I clean the black suede material?

For basic cleaning, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a suede eraser and a specialized suede cleaner are recommended. Always air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash.

Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?

While the suede is durable, it is not waterproof and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to water. Applying a suede protector spray can help, but it's best to avoid heavy rain to preserve the material.

What does 'Cons' mean in Converse Cons One Star Pro?

'Cons' refers to Converse Skate, indicating that this line of footwear is specifically designed and engineered for skateboarding, featuring enhanced durability and performance characteristics for skaters.

What is the fit like for UK size 13?

These shoes are designed to fit true to size for adult UK size 13. We recommend checking Converse's official sizing guide if you are unsure or prefer a specific fit.

Do these shoes offer good ankle support?

The Converse Cons One Star Pro is a low-top design, offering standard ankle mobility typical of skate shoes. It prioritizes board feel and flexibility over high ankle support found in mid or high-top styles.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or flattened.

Gently brush the suede with a dry suede brush in a single direction to restore the nap and texture.

Shoes are stiff or uncomfortable initially.

The durable construction may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your feet.

Suede is stained or dirty.

Use a specialized suede cleaner and a suede eraser to gently lift and remove stains. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Loss of grip on the skateboard.

Check the outsole for dirt or debris. Clean the sole with a stiff brush and water if necessary to restore traction. Ensure the sole is dry before use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will significantly extend the life and appearance of your suede shoes.

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and grime. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  2. Stain Removal: For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth. For dried stains, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for suede footwear.
  3. Water Protection: Consider applying a suede protector spray before the first wear and periodically thereafter. This creates a barrier against water and stains, though it will not make them fully waterproof.
  4. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can damage the suede.
  5. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent color fading.
  6. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry suede shoes.
