FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. While they offer good grip, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact sports and may lack the necessary support and cushioning for athletic activities.
How do I clean the metallic finish?
Gently wipe the metallic parts with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scrubbing, as these can damage the finish. Allow to air dry.
Can I wear these with socks?
Yes, these trainers are designed to be worn with socks. Ankle socks or no-show socks are common choices, but you can wear them with any sock type depending on your comfort and style preference.
What is the main difference between these and standard Chuck Taylors?
The main differences are the metallic lavender finish and the potentially updated sole construction (EVA Lift) for added comfort and slight elevation, compared to the classic canvas Chuck Taylors.
Is the sizing true to the UK standard?
Converse sizing can sometimes run differently than standard shoe sizes. It is recommended to consult the official Converse size guide and compare your foot measurements for the most accurate fit.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the textile upper is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry or mildly damp conditions, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the material.
Troubleshooting
Sizing seems incorrect
Refer to the Converse sizing chart for accurate measurements. Consider that different styles may fit slightly differently. If possible, try them on or check reviews for fit advice.
Metallic finish losing its shine
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh cleaning agents. For minor scuffs, a special sneaker eraser might be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length and color. They can be purchased from most shoe stores or online retailers.
Sole feels stiff
New trainers can sometimes feel stiff. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The vulcanised rubber will become more flexible with use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To care for your Converse A13449C trainers, it is recommended to spot clean the textile upper with a damp cloth.
