FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Converse sizing can vary slightly. It is generally recommended to consult the size chart provided by the retailer or brand. Many users find they are true to their standard Converse size, but if you are between sizes, sizing up is often suggested for platform styles.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the materials offer some resistance, these sneakers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in wetness. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and to ensure they are properly dried if they do get wet.
How do I clean the fabric upper?
Use a soft brush or cloth with a mixture of mild soap and cool water to gently scrub the fabric. Avoid soaking the shoes. Wipe away soap residue with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry.
What is the difference between Run Star Hike and Run Star Legacy?
The Run Star Hike typically features a more aggressive, lugged outsole for increased traction and a slightly different silhouette. The Run Star Legacy CX often uses a lighter CX foam for enhanced comfort and may have a sleeker profile compared to the Hike version.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these sneakers are designed for lifestyle and fashion purposes. They do not offer the support or cushioning required for running or other athletic activities.
How much taller will I be wearing these?
The platform height varies, but the Run Star Legacy CX typically adds a significant amount of height, generally around 1.5 to 2 inches (approximately 4-5 cm) from the sole, plus the height of your foot within the shoe.
Can the laces be replaced?
Yes, the laces are standard and can be replaced with any compatible shoelaces if they become worn or if you wish to change the style.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent and water, or machine wash in a garment bag on a delicate cycle. Allow to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Scuff marks on the black platform
Use a magic eraser or a soft cloth with a small amount of non-gel toothpaste to gently rub out scuff marks. Wipe clean with a damp cloth afterward.
Discomfort due to platform height
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow your feet and ankles to adjust. Consider using cushioned insoles if additional comfort is needed.
Squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between the sole and the insole. Try removing the insole and ensuring both it and the inside of the shoe are completely dry. A light dusting of talcum powder inside the shoe, under the insole, can also help.
