FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and fashion. The platform sole is not optimized for athletic performance like running.
How do I clean the geometric pattern?
For the geometric pattern and the rest of the trainer, spot clean gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the pattern or fabric.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Converse Chuck Taylors are generally known to run slightly large. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult the brand's official size guide for the most accurate fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the trainers can withstand light moisture, they are not waterproof. Heavy rain may soak through the canvas material. Using a water-repellent spray can offer some protection.
What is the main difference between these and standard Chuck Taylors?
The primary difference is the 'Lift Hi' feature, which includes a significantly thicker platform sole for added height and a more modern aesthetic, along with the distinctive geometric pattern.
How do I care for the platform sole?
Wipe the platform sole with a damp cloth to clean. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which could damage the material or finish.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the sole. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Laces becoming worn or dirty
Laces can be hand-washed separately or replaced with new Converse laces. Ensure they are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid unnecessary stress.
Platform sole feels heavy
The platform sole is designed for style and height. If it feels too heavy, ensure you have the correct size and consider shorter wear periods initially until you adjust.
