FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Converse sizes can sometimes run slightly large. It's generally recommended to try them on or check a size chart against your usual UK adult shoe size of 8.5. Many find going down half a size provides a better fit.
Can I wear these for long walks?
While comfortable for everyday wear, the double-stacked platform sole is firmer and heavier than traditional sneakers. They are best suited for moderate walking and activities where fashion is a priority, rather than extensive long-distance walking or running.
How do I keep the red color vibrant?
To maintain the vibrant red, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and extreme dirt. Regularly spot clean any marks with mild soap and water. Storing them in a cool, dry place can also help prevent color fading.
What kind of socks should I wear with high-tops?
For optimal comfort and to prevent rubbing, it's recommended to wear socks that are high enough to extend above the shoe's collar. This could be crew socks or ankle socks with a higher cuff.
Is the platform heavy?
Yes, due to the double-stacked sole, these shoes are noticeably heavier than standard Chuck Taylor All Stars. This added weight contributes to their bold look and feel.
Troubleshooting
Feeling unsteady or less stable on the platform.
Allow for a break-in period to get accustomed to the elevated sole. Ensure laces are tied securely around the ankle for added support. Practice walking on different surfaces to build confidence.
Canvas appears dirty or stained.
Spot clean immediately with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub the affected area, then wipe away any soap residue. Air dry thoroughly. For stubborn marks, consider a canvas shoe cleaner.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Check if the insoles are properly seated or if any debris is trapped between the sole and the shoe's upper. Sometimes, a light dusting of baby powder under the insole can resolve minor squeaks.
Rubbing or discomfort around the ankle.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks that extend above the shoe's collar. Adjust your lacing technique; sometimes loosening the top eyelets can provide more comfort without sacrificing support. A short break-in period can also help the canvas soften.

These shoes come ready to wear; simply lace them up to your desired tightness. Ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight to allow for comfortable foot movement and to properly secure the high-top around your ankle. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire, from denim to dresses. For care, spot clean the canvas upper with mild soap and water, using a soft brush or cloth. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat. The rubber sole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the canvas and adhesives. For deeper stains, a specialized canvas shoe cleaner can be used. Regular cleaning will help maintain their vibrant red color and overall appearance.
