FAQs
Are these shoes truly unisex?
Yes, the design is intended for all genders, and sizing is available for adults across a range of UK sizes.
How much taller will I be wearing these?
The platform significantly adds to your height. The exact increase depends on the specific platform height of this model, which is substantial.
Can I wear these for exercise?
These are primarily fashion sneakers designed for casual wear and comfort. They are not recommended for strenuous athletic activities.
What material is the platform made of?
The platform is typically constructed from a lightweight yet durable foam (CX foam) for cushioning, with a rubber outsole for traction.
How do I find my correct UK size?
Refer to Converse's official size chart and measure your foot length to find the best UK size equivalent. Note that platform shoes can sometimes fit differently than standard sneakers.
Are they waterproof?
No, these sneakers are not waterproof. They are made from canvas and rubber, which can be damaged by excessive moisture.
What is the CX foam?
CX foam is Converse's innovative cushioning technology designed to provide superior comfort, impact absorption, and a responsive feel.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently.
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces with a textured pair for better grip.
Discomfort during initial wear.
This is common with platform shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as your feet adjust to the new sole height and feel.
Squeaking noise when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to moisture. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the noise persists, try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, particularly around the insole.
Difficulty walking naturally.
Take shorter steps and be mindful of the elevated platform. Practice walking on different surfaces to improve balance and coordination.
