FAQs
Do these trainers come in other colors?
This specific model, the 'Lift Platform Spikes', is featured in black with white accents. However, Converse offers many other variations of the Chuck Taylor All Star Lift series in various colors and designs.
What is the platform height?
The platform height for the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Lift Platform Spikes is 3.81 cm (approximately 1.5 inches).
Are the spikes sharp?
The spikes are designed for aesthetic purposes and are generally not overly sharp, but caution should still be exercised to avoid snagging clothing or potentially scratching surfaces.
What is the best way to clean the white sole?
The white rubber sole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and a bit of soap. For tougher scuffs, a magic eraser or a specialized shoe cleaner can be effective.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The standard Chuck Taylor fit tends to be medium width. Due to them running large, you might find a half-size down more accommodating if you have slightly wider feet, but they are not specifically designed for wide feet.
What is the material of the spikes?
The spikes are typically made of metal and are tone-on-tone with the shoe's color scheme.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the canvas upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing these in heavy rain to prevent the canvas from getting soaked and potentially stained.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too large
As noted, these trainers run large. It is recommended to order a half-size down from your usual size. If you have already purchased, consider using thicker socks or insoles for a snugger fit.
Spikes feel loose
If any spikes feel loose, contact customer support for advice. Do not attempt to re-secure them yourself as this may damage the shoe.
Canvas is dirty
Use a soft brush or cloth with a small amount of mild detergent and water to gently scrub the affected area. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Allow to air dry.
