FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Converse sizing can sometimes run a little large. It is generally recommended to try them on or consult a Converse size chart if you are unsure. Many customers find sizing down half a size provides the best fit, especially if you have narrower feet.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

While the canvas material offers some protection, these shoes are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may result in wet feet and potential staining of the canvas. It's best to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions or use a water-repellent spray for added protection.

What makes the platform 'ultralight'?

The 'ultralight' designation refers to the construction material of the platform sole, which is designed to be significantly lighter than traditional platform shoes. This reduces overall shoe weight, contributing to enhanced comfort for everyday wear without compromising on the elevated look.

How often should I clean my Converse?

The frequency of cleaning depends on how often you wear them and the conditions they are exposed to. For everyday wear, a quick spot clean as needed and a more thorough clean every few weeks or months should suffice to keep them looking fresh.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

Converse shoes are often described as having a slightly narrower fit. While the canvas may stretch somewhat over time, individuals with wider feet might find them snug initially. Trying them on or consulting a wide-fit variant if available is recommended.

What's the difference between 'Move Platform' and standard Chuck Taylors?

The primary difference is the platform sole, which gives the 'Move Platform' an elevated look and a slight height increase. Additionally, the 'Move Platform' often features an ultralight construction for enhanced comfort compared to the traditional heavier rubber sole of standard Chuck Taylors, while maintaining the iconic high-top canvas design.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable at first

Canvas shoes, especially high-tops and platforms, often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house initially. The material will soften and conform to your foot over time.

Platform sole feels unstable

If you're new to platform shoes, it might take a few wears to adjust. Practice walking on different surfaces to build confidence. Ensure your laces are tied securely to provide adequate foot support.

Canvas appears dirty or stained

Follow the 'Care' instructions provided above. For stubborn stains, a specialized canvas shoe cleaner can be effective. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the shoe's structure and colour.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior, or between the sole and a wet surface. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction. If it persists, ensure the shoe is completely dry before wearing.

Setup

Getting started with your Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Move Platform shoes is as simple as lacing them up. Ensure laces are snug but not too tight to allow for comfortable foot movement. For your first wear, walk around indoors to break them in slightly and get accustomed to the platform sole.

Compatibility

These shoes are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They pair well with:

  • Jeans: Skinny, straight, or wide-leg styles.
  • Dresses & Skirts: Especially midi or mini lengths that highlight the high-top design.
  • Shorts: For a relaxed, summery look.
  • Leggings & Athleisure Wear: For a comfortable yet stylish ensemble.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your canvas Converse:

  1. Spot Cleaning: For small marks, use a damp cloth with mild soap and gently rub the affected area. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  2. Deeper Clean: For more extensive dirt, remove laces and inner soles. Mix warm water with a small amount of mild detergent. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to scrub the canvas in circular motions. Rinse with a damp cloth.
  3. Laces: Hand wash laces separately with soap and water.
  4. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat, to prevent damage or shrinking. Stuff them with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
