Product Information

Full details

This guide is for fashion-conscious women seeking a stylish update to a classic sneaker. The key benefit is the added height and contemporary street style provided by the platform sole. A potential caveat is the break-in period required for the elevated sole. These trainers feature a high-top silhouette, durable textile upper, rubber outsole, and a distinctive elevated wedge/platform sole, all in a versatile blue hue.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and fashion. The platform sole is not optimized for athletic performance and may affect natural movement during sports.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Converse or the retailer. Generally, Chuck Taylors can run slightly large, so some users prefer to size down. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart.

Can I wear these in the rain?

The textile upper is not waterproof. While the rubber sole offers some protection, prolonged exposure to rain may saturate the upper. It's best to wear them in dry or mildly damp conditions.

How much height do the platform soles add?

The platform sole typically adds approximately 1.5 to 2 inches (around 4-5 cm) to your height, depending on the specific model and where on the sole the measurement is taken.

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

The primary difference is the significantly thicker, elevated platform sole on the 'Lift' version, which adds height and a contemporary streetwear aesthetic compared to the classic flat-soled Chuck Taylors.

Can the insoles be removed to add custom orthotics?

The insoles in most Chuck Taylor All Star Lift models are glued in and not easily removable. If you need to use custom orthotics, it might be challenging to fit them comfortably inside without altering the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Wear the trainers for short periods indoors to gradually break in the platform sole and textile upper. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in phase.

Dirt or scuffs on the rubber sole/toe.

Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a specialized rubber cleaner. A magic eraser can also be effective for scuff marks.

Laces become dirty.

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow them to dry completely before re-lacing the shoes.

Discoloration of the blue textile.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning agents. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, and air dry away from heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove loose dirt. For stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the rubber sole and toe cap with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser or a soft-bristled brush with soapy water can be effective.
  3. Lining: Spot clean the textile lining with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry completely.
  4. Drying: Never machine wash or tumble dry. Always air dry away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to maintain their shape and protect the material.
