Converse One Star Low - Black Suede - UK 9

Converse sizing can sometimes vary. We recommend consulting the official Converse size chart. If possible, try them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you are between sizes.

Before wearing, apply a good quality suede protector spray. Reapply regularly, especially after cleaning or if the shoes have been exposed to moisture. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

No, machine washing is not recommended for suede shoes as it can damage the material and adhesives. Always spot clean suede using appropriate suede care products and techniques.

Due to the suede material, cotton or wool blend socks are ideal to help manage moisture and maintain comfort. Avoid very thick socks if the shoe already feels snug.

Yes, the One Star logo is embroidered directly into the suede, making it highly durable and resistant to fading or peeling that might occur with printed logos.

A vulcanized midsole is created by heating rubber under pressure, which creates a strong, flexible bond between the upper and sole. This construction method enhances durability, board feel (for skate-inspired models), and overall flexibility for comfortable movement.

While the One Star has roots in skate culture and features a durable vulcanized sole and good grip, this specific model (One Star Ox) is primarily designed for fashion and casual wear. For dedicated skateboarding, Converse offers 'Converse CONS' models that have additional skate-specific features and reinforcement.

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. Brush in short, consistent strokes in one direction. For stubborn spots, a suede eraser can help.

Ensure the laces are not too tight. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the suede and sole to break in and mold to your feet. Thinner socks might also help during the break-in phase.

Sometimes moisture or friction between the insole and outsole can cause squeaking. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder inside the shoe before replacing the insole. If the squeak persists, inspect the outsole for any loose parts.

For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For dried stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Clean the Waffle outsole regularly to remove accumulated dirt or debris that can reduce traction. Use a stiff brush and mild soap with water, then rinse thoroughly. Ensure the sole is completely dry before wearing.
