FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Run Star Legacy Platform Trainers are designed for casual wear and style, not for high-impact athletic activities like running. The platform sole is not optimized for performance running.
How do I clean the platform sole?
Wipe the platform sole with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, a soft brush with mild soap or a specialized sole cleaner can be used carefully.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Converse trainers generally run true to size, but the platform style might feel slightly different. It's recommended to check customer reviews or try them on if possible.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While durable, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to wet conditions can affect the materials. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles.
What is the main difference between these and standard Converse trainers?
The primary difference is the significantly thicker, stacked platform sole, which adds considerable height and a modern aesthetic, differentiating them from Converse's classic flat-soled designs.
How much do these trainers add to my height?
The platform sole adds substantial height, typically several inches. The exact measurement can vary slightly, but expect a significant visual increase.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Difficulty walking due to height.
Practice walking on different surfaces. Focus on a slightly more deliberate stride until accustomed to the platform height.
Tonal material scuffs easily.
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away scuffs. For tougher marks, a magic eraser or specialized shoe cleaner can be used with caution on a small, hidden area first.
Laces become dirty.
Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent and water. Alternatively, place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a gentle cycle.

Care:
- Cleaning the Uppers: Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used gently. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a damp cloth or a specialized sole cleaner. For the platform, a slightly firmer brush might be needed, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.
