FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

Converse trainers are generally known for a relatively standard fit. While the lace-up design allows for some adjustability, if you typically require wider footwear, it's recommended to try them on or check customer reviews specific to fit.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While the textile upper and rubber sole offer some protection, these trainers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain could damage the glitter finish and material. We recommend avoiding heavy downpours if possible.

How do I clean the platform sole?

The rubber platform sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and air dry.

Do they run true to size?

Converse sizing can sometimes differ slightly from other brands. It's generally recommended to refer to Converse's official size guide. This specific model is a UK size 3.

Is the glitter finish durable?

The glitter finish is designed to be durable for casual wear. However, like all glitter applications, it can be susceptible to wear and tear or minor shedding if subjected to harsh abrasion or improper cleaning. Gentle care is recommended.

Can I remove the insoles?

The product description mentions a cushioned interior. While some Converse models have removable insoles, it's not explicitly stated for this model. Attempting to remove non-removable insoles may damage the shoe. Info needed: Check product specifications or try gently to see if they are designed to be removable.

Are these trainers heavy due to the platform sole?

The platform sole adds a sturdy feel and some weight compared to standard flat-soled trainers. However, they are designed for comfortable everyday wear, and the weight is typically well-distributed for balance.

Troubleshooting

Glitter appears to be shedding excessively.

A small amount of initial glitter shed is normal with new glitter products. Gently tap off any loose excess. To minimize further shedding, avoid harsh rubbing or brushing. Consider using a clear fabric protector spray designed for glitter (test in an inconspicuous area first).

Platform sole feels stiff or uncomfortable.

The new platform sole may require a break-in period. Wear the trainers for short durations initially, gradually increasing wear time. The cushioning will adapt to your foot over time.

White laces get dirty quickly.

Remove the laces and hand wash them separately with a gentle detergent and warm water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing. Alternatively, keep a spare set of laces for rotation.

Ankle area feels too tight or rubs.

Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, especially around the ankle shaft. You might try skipping the top eyelet for a looser fit around the ankle. Wearing thicker socks can also provide extra cushioning.

Trainers lose their sparkly appeal.

Over time, dirt and dust can dull the glitter. Gently clean the glitter surface with a soft, dry brush or a barely damp cloth (without soap) to remove surface debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Unlace the trainers sufficiently to comfortably insert your foot.
  2. Adjust Fit: Once your foot is in, systematically tighten the laces from the toe upwards, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit around your foot and ankle.
  3. Secure Knot: Tie the laces securely, using a double knot if desired for extra security, especially with the contrasting white laces.

Compatibility

These trainers are highly versatile. Their black base with multicoloured shimmer allows them to pair seamlessly with a wide range of colors and styles. They are an excellent choice for:

  • Casual Attire: Jeans, shorts, leggings.
  • Smart-Casual Looks: Skirts, casual dresses, jumpsuits.
  • Seasonal Wear: Suitable for all seasons, easily transitioning between outfits.

Care

To maintain the striking glitter finish and overall condition of your trainers, follow these care tips:

  • Spot Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the textile upper and platform sole.
  • Glitter Care: Avoid harsh scrubbing on the glitter areas to prevent shedding or dulling. Dab gently.
  • Lace Cleaning: Remove white laces and hand wash them separately with a gentle detergent, then air dry.
  • Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent damage to the material and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with tissue paper inside to help maintain their shape.

> Info needed: For specific care instructions regarding the glitter material, refer to any care labels provided with the product or visit the manufacturer's website.
