FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard Converse sizing, but if you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider half a size up.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as the machine agitation can damage the platform sole and affect the adhesive.
What does the 'Cx' in the name stand for?
CX refers to the specialized comfort technology used in the midsole for better impact absorption.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these are fashion trainers designed for casual lifestyle wear, not for athletic running.
How do I maintain the vibrant red color?
Keep them away from prolonged direct sunlight when not in use to prevent UV-related fading.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too tight or loose during the day
Re-lace the shoes using a 'window lacing' technique to relieve pressure on the top of the foot.
Scuffs on the rubber platform
Use a white eraser or a specialized sneaker cleaning solution to gently buff out marks on the rubber sole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your trainers, loosen the laces fully when putting them on or taking them off to avoid unnecessary strain on the heel counter. For cleaning, wipe down the canvas and rubber surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals that could discolor the vibrant red fabric. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the rubber from warping or the glue from losing integrity.
