FAQs

Are the Converse Run Star Legacy CX true to size?

Generally, Converse trainers, including the Run Star Legacy CX, are often recommended to be sized down by a half size if you are between sizes, as they can run slightly large. However, individual fit can vary.

How do I clean the platform sole?

The rubber platform sole can be cleaned using a damp cloth with mild soap. For tougher marks, a magic eraser or a specialized shoe cleaner can be effective. Ensure to wipe away any residue.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While the rubber elements offer some protection, the canvas upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, waterproof footwear is recommended.

What is the benefit of the CX foam?

CX foam is designed to provide superior cushioning and impact absorption, offering enhanced comfort for all-day wear compared to traditional EVA foam.

Are these suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for casual wear and style, not for athletic running. They lack the specialized support and cushioning required for performance running.

How do I care for the canvas material?

Gently clean the canvas with a soft brush or cloth using cool water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, as this can damage the material.

What is the primary difference between these and classic Chuck Taylors?

The main differences are the significantly thicker, platform sole and the enhanced CX cushioning in the insole, which provide a more modern look and improved comfort.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from the sole

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or ensure the insole is properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Discomfort in the arch area

The CX cushioning provides support, but individual foot shapes vary. Consider using an aftermarket insole for additional arch support if needed.

Canvas appears dirty

Spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, consult the care instructions for more thorough cleaning.

Laces wear out

Replacement laces can be purchased from most shoe stores or online retailers. Ensure you choose a length appropriate for the number of eyelets on the trainer.
