FAQs
Are these suitable for running or sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and fashion. They are not recommended for intense athletic activities like running or sports due to their platform construction.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Converse or the retailer. Generally, UK adult sizes are used, and these trainers aim for a standard fit. Trying them on if possible is always recommended.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the canvas material offers some protection, it is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Excessive moisture can lead to staining and affect the material.
What is the height of the platform sole?
The platform sole adds significant height compared to standard trainers, providing a noticeable lift. Specific measurements can vary slightly by size but are designed to be a prominent feature.
How do I clean the platform sole?
The rubber platform sole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher grime, a soft brush can be used. Ensure to wipe it dry afterwards.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
These trainers feature the classic Converse insole, which provides basic cushioning. They do not offer specialized arch support. If you require significant arch support, consider using custom or over-the-counter insoles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially.
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to allow the canvas and platform to break in. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Laces loosening frequently.
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones.
Dirt or scuffs on the canvas.
Use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently clean the affected areas. For stubborn marks, a specialized canvas cleaner may be used, followed by spot testing in an inconspicuous area.
Discomfort on the ball of the foot.
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Consider using a thin insole or the shoe's original insert for a slightly softer feel.
