FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the textile upper is not waterproof. They are designed for dry conditions and casual wear. Exposure to heavy rain may saturate the material.
How do I clean the metallic finish?
Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the metallic coating. Air dry naturally.
What is the main advantage of the high-top design?
The high-top design offers additional ankle support and a classic, secure fit that has been a hallmark of Converse Chuck Taylors for decades.
Can these trainers be worn by men and women?
Yes, these are unisex trainers designed to be worn by individuals of any gender.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The vulcanised rubber outsole is known for its durability and provides excellent traction, making the trainers suitable for regular, everyday use.
What is the difference between this model and classic Chuck Taylors?
This model, the A13449C, features a unique metallic lavender textile upper and is part of the EVA Lift line, which may offer slight variations in sole design or comfort compared to the most basic classic models, while retaining the iconic silhouette.
What size should I order if I'm unsure?
Converse sizing can sometimes run larger than expected. It's recommended to measure your foot and consult the size chart provided by the retailer or Converse. Many users find ordering a half size down from their usual athletic shoe size works well.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring the pressure is distributed evenly. If still tight, consider wearing thinner socks or if the issue persists, explore if a half-size larger is available.
Metallic sheen looks dull or scuffed
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a tiny amount of mild soap. Avoid abrasive materials. For persistent scuffs, a specialized shoe cleaner for metallic finishes might be necessary.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes happen due to friction within the shoe. Try inserting a powder (like talcum powder) under the insole or between the tongue and laces. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can sometimes cause this.
Dirt on rubber parts
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the rubber toe cap and midsole. For tough stains on white rubber, a melamine foam sponge (like a magic eraser) can be used with caution.

- Maintaining the Metallic Finish: To preserve the shimmering effect, avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Wipe down the metallic surfaces with a slightly damp cloth and allow them to air dry.
- Cleaning the Sole: The rubber midsole and outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn scuffs on the white parts, a magic eraser can be used carefully.
- Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed separately with mild detergent.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or material degradation. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
