FAQs
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Converse. As these are unisex, men and women may need to consult specific conversion guidelines. It's recommended to measure your foot length for the most accurate fit.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, these trainers are designed primarily for fashion and casual wear. The platform sole is not optimized for athletic performance such as running.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the platform structure. Hand washing is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between these and standard Converse trainers?
The primary difference is the significantly stacked platform sole, which adds height and a bolder aesthetic compared to the flatter soles of traditional Converse models.
How much height do the platform soles add?
The platform significantly increases the wearer's height. While exact measurements can vary slightly by size, expect a substantial lift that adds considerable inches.
What material is used for the upper part of the trainer?
The product description indicates durable materials supporting daily wear, typically a canvas or synthetic blend, consistent with classic Converse designs.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers are not described as waterproof. They are suitable for dry to mildly damp conditions, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may cause water ingress.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise from sole
This can sometimes occur with new platform shoes. Try inserting a talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole to absorb moisture, or ensure the sole is clean and dry.
Discomfort when walking initially
The stacked sole may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure they are laced correctly for proper support.
Marks on the rubber sole
Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a non-gel toothpaste applied with a soft brush. Wipe clean thoroughly.
Tonal detailing appears faded
Ensure cleaning methods are gentle and avoid bleach or harsh detergents. A dedicated shoe cleaner for the specific material might be helpful.
