FAQs
How much extra height do these shoes provide?
The Double Stack platform sole typically adds approximately 1.5 to 2 inches (around 3.8 to 5 cm) of height compared to standard Chuck Taylor All Star models.
Are these shoes true to size?
Converse sizes can sometimes run slightly larger. Most wearers find them true to size, but if you are between sizes, consider ordering a half size down. For UK size 11, it is generally recommended to stick to your usual size.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the canvas provides some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain can soak the canvas and make your feet wet. We recommend applying a water-repellent spray for added protection in damp conditions.
How do I prevent the white canvas from yellowing?
To prevent yellowing, avoid harsh chemical cleaners, especially bleach, which can react with the canvas. Always air dry your shoes away from direct sunlight or heat, as UV rays and excessive heat can contribute to yellowing.
Are the insoles removable?
Generally, the insoles in Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Lift Double Stack shoes are glued in place and are not designed to be easily removable. Attempting to remove them could damage the shoe.
Are these shoes heavy?
Due to the double-stack platform sole, these shoes are noticeably heavier than standard Chuck Taylor All Stars. This added weight contributes to their distinctive look but might take some getting used to.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new canvas shoes, especially those with platform soles. Wear them for short periods at first, gradually increasing wear time to allow the canvas and sole to mold to your feet. Thicker socks can also help during the break-in period.
White canvas is getting dirty quickly.
Regular spot cleaning is key. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water mixture with a soft brush, focusing on affected areas. Consider using a canvas protector spray before initial wear to help repel dirt and water.
Rubber sole edges are marked or scuffed.
Use a magic eraser or a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for rubber soles. A mixture of baking soda and a small amount of water can also be effective when gently scrubbed with a brush.
Feet feel hot or sweaty.
Ensure you are wearing breathable cotton socks. If possible, remove insoles to air out after wear. Consider using odor-absorbing insoles or shoe deodorizers to maintain freshness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

For a personalized fit, you can experiment with different lacing techniques. Remember that the canvas may feel stiff initially, so wearing them for shorter periods during the first few days can help break them in comfortably.

- Streetwear: Complement oversized hoodies, cargo pants, or graphic tees.
- Smart-Casual: Can be dressed up with tailored trousers or midi skirts for a contemporary edge.
- Seasonal: Suitable for all seasons, though in wet conditions, care should be taken to protect the canvas.
Care
Proper care will maintain the pristine look of your white Converse:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks, gently wipe the canvas with a damp cloth and mild soap (like dish soap). Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Air dry away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Deep Cleaning: For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent. Scrub the canvas and rubber sole. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with soap and water, then air dry.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's structure and fade the canvas.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to maintain their shape.
