FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, the Converse Run Star Trainers are designed for casual everyday wear and lifestyle purposes, not for high-performance running or athletic sports.
How do I best protect the suede from water and stains?
We recommend applying a quality suede protector spray before wearing them for the first time. Reapply periodically as directed by the product. Avoid heavy rain and deep puddles.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for suede trainers as it can damage the material and alter their shape. Always clean suede by hand using appropriate products.
What is the primary material of these trainers?
These trainers are primarily constructed with durable suede material, complemented by a reliable gum sole.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
Converse Run Star Trainers generally fit true to size. This specific variant is a UK size 9.5.
What kind of grip does the sole provide?
The trainers feature a gum sole with a textured grip tread, designed to offer reliable traction on most urban and indoor surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For deeper grime, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions and then brush.
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have the correct UK size (9.5 for this variant). Consider trying different sock thicknesses. Over time, suede may slightly conform to your foot.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the gum sole has a textured grip tread, these trainers are not designed for extreme wet or icy conditions. Exercise caution on slippery surfaces.
Stains on suede are difficult to remove
For stubborn stains, consider consulting a professional shoe cleaner specializing in suede. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, which can damage the nap.

Care Instructions for Suede
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your suede trainers.
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a quality suede protector spray before the first wear, especially if you anticipate exposure to light moisture.
- Regular Brushing: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove dust and loose dirt. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks or stains, use a specialized suede eraser or a slightly damp, clean cloth with a small amount of suede cleaner. Dab, don't rub aggressively.
- Drying: If trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the suede.
