FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Lift Platform Spikes run large. It is recommended to order a half size down from your usual shoe size for the best fit.
Are the spike studs durable?
The tonal spike studs are designed to be a permanent feature of the shoe. While generally durable, avoid excessive force or abrasion that could dislodge them.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The canvas upper is not waterproof, so these trainers are best suited for dry or moderately damp conditions. The rubber outsole offers some protection against wet surfaces.
What is the height of the platform?
The platform sole adds approximately 1.5 inches (about 3.8 cm) to your height.
How do I clean the canvas material?
Gently wipe the canvas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
What is the purpose of the OrthoLite insole?
The OrthoLite insole is designed to provide enhanced cushioning, breathability, and moisture management for improved comfort during wear.
Are these suitable for athletic activities?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and fashion. They do not offer the specialized support or performance features required for rigorous athletic activities.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too large
This is expected as the product runs large. Please ensure you ordered a half size down from your typical shoe size. If still too large, consider exchanging for a smaller size.
Spike studs feel loose
Check if the studs are securely attached. If they appear loose or damaged, contact customer support for assistance or repair options.
Canvas material appears dirty
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the affected area. For tougher stains, a specialized canvas shoe cleaner may be effective. Always allow to air dry.
Discomfort during wear
Ensure you have the correct size and that laces are adjusted properly. The OrthoLite insole provides cushioning, but break-in time may be needed. If discomfort persists, check for any internal manufacturing defects.
