Full details

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

No, the Chuck Taylor All Star Cru Platform Trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday use, not for high-impact athletic activities like running.

How do I know if the size UK 4.5 is correct for me?

Refer to a standard sizing chart for Converse or footwear in general. Consider the length and width of your foot. These trainers feature a lace-up fastening for adjustability, which can help accommodate slight variations in fit.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

It is not recommended to machine wash canvas trainers, as it can damage the glue, rubber, and shape of the shoe. Hand washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method for cleaning.

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

The primary difference is the platform sole, which adds extra height and a contemporary aesthetic compared to the classic flat-soled Chuck Taylor models.

How durable is the platform sole?

The platform sole is constructed from rubber, similar to the outsole, providing good durability for everyday wear. However, like any shoe, excessive force or sharp impacts could potentially cause damage.

Is the blue color prone to fading?

The blue color is generally stable, but like most dyed fabrics, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh detergents can lead to fading over time. Proper care and storage will help maintain the color.

Troubleshooting

Slight stiffness upon first wear

Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. The canvas and sole will become more flexible with use.

Dirt on the platform or rubber sole

Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the surfaces clean. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser or a soft-bristled brush can be effective.

Discoloration of the blue canvas

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning chemicals. Clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry away from heat.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the canvas with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. For tougher stains, a soft brush can be used gently. Allow to air dry.
