FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The standard Chuck Taylor silhouette can accommodate a medium width. If you have particularly wide feet, the platform style might offer slightly more room compared to a classic low-top, but it's advisable to try them on if possible or check reviews regarding width.

How high is the platform sole exactly?

The platform sole has an approximate height of 4cm (around 1.57 inches).

Can the crocheted upper be waterproofed?

While some fabric protectants might offer minimal water resistance, applying them could alter the texture or appearance of the crocheted material. It's best to avoid excessive moisture and clean them carefully.

What is the main difference between these and standard Chuck Taylors?

The primary differences are the "Lift" platform sole, adding height, and the distinctive floral crocheted upper, offering a unique aesthetic compared to the traditional canvas.

How do I clean the white rubber parts of the sole?

The white rubber parts can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth, mild soap, and a soft brush or an old toothbrush for scrubbing. Specialized shoe cleaners are also available.

Are these trainers good for walking long distances?

The Ortholite cushioning enhances comfort for walking, but the platform sole might feel less flexible than a traditional sneaker for very long distances or strenuous activity. They are best suited for moderate walking.

What does 'Lift' signify in the product name?

'Lift' refers to the platform sole feature of the shoe, which adds extra height.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too large

Consider wearing thicker socks or purchasing an insole for a snugger fit. If purchased online, check the return policy for size exchanges.

Crocheted material appears dirty or stained

Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner specializing in fabric materials. Avoid machine washing the entire shoe.

Laces are difficult to tie or keep tied

Ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets correctly. Try a different lacing technique or replace the laces with a grippier material.

  • Comfortable cushioning thanks to Ortholite technology.
  • Adds height and modern style with the platform sole.
  • Versatile for casual outfits, combining classic and trendy elements.
  • Authentic Converse branding for brand enthusiasts.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult females. They pair well with casual attire. Given the material, they are best suited for dry weather conditions. Ensure your size is correct, as Converse often runs large.

Care:

  • Upper: The crocheted upper should be cleaned gently. Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the material and the floral pattern.
  • Sole: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap.
  • Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed or machine-washed in a laundry bag.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and material integrity. Consider using shoe trees to maintain shape.
