Product Information

Full details

The Converse Run Star Hike Platform Trainers in Purple are designed for adults seeking a bold, elevated take on a classic high-top. Their key benefit is the exaggerated platform sole, offering increased height and a distinctive visual style without sacrificing comfort. A potential caveat is the platform's added weight and height, which may require a brief adjustment period for some users. These trainers feature a durable canvas upper, a secure lace-up closure, and a robust rubber tread for stability, making them a stylish and functional choice for everyday wear.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Converse Run Star Hike Platform Trainers are designed for casual wear and fashion, not for athletic running. Their platform sole offers a unique style but is not optimized for the impact and flexibility required for running.

How do I clean the platform sole?

The rubber platform can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher dirt, a non-abrasive shoe cleaner can be used. Wipe dry afterwards.

What is the main difference from standard Converse high-tops?

The primary difference is the significantly exaggerated platform sole, which adds considerable height and a bolder aesthetic compared to traditional Converse high-tops.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the canvas upper is not waterproof and can absorb moisture. It is best to wear these in dry or moderately damp conditions and avoid heavy rain.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of durable cotton canvas.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer. These are unisex trainers, so consult the corresponding UK adult foot size.

Is the platform heavy?

The exaggerated platform does add some weight compared to standard trainers, which may be noticeable during wear. Users often find they adjust to the feel over time.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel loose or slip

Re-lace the shoes, ensuring a tight knot. Consider using different lacing techniques for a more secure fit.

Canvas shows signs of dirt or scuff marks

Use a soft brush with a mixture of mild soap and water to gently clean the affected areas. For tougher stains, a specialized canvas cleaner might be necessary. Always allow to air dry.

Discomfort due to platform height

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow your feet and gait to adjust to the platform. Ensure the lacing is appropriately adjusted for ankle support.

Care:
