FAQs

Are these shoes only for skateboarding?

While the Cons One Star Pro is specifically engineered for skateboarding, its classic style and durable construction also make it an excellent choice for casual everyday wear.

How do I clean the green suede without damaging it?

Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaning kit is recommended. Always test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first and avoid excessive water.

Do Converse Cons One Star Pro shoes run true to size?

Converse shoes, including the One Star Pro, generally run true to size for most users. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. If unsure, consulting a size guide or trying them on is recommended.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

Suede is not highly water-resistant. While light moisture might be fine, heavy rain or puddles should be avoided to prevent staining and damage to the material. A suede protector spray can offer some water repellency.

What is the benefit of a vulcanized sole for skateboarding?

A vulcanized sole construction offers enhanced flexibility and superior board feel, allowing skateboarders to have a better connection and control over their board. It also typically provides excellent grip.

How long do these shoes typically last?

The lifespan of the Cons One Star Pro varies greatly depending on usage. For intensive skateboarding, wear and tear will be more significant. For casual use with proper care, they can last for a long time.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore the nap. For deeper stains, use a suede cleaning kit according to its instructions, then brush.

Loss of grip on the outsole

Inspect the rubber outsole for wear. If the tread is significantly worn smooth, the shoe's grip will be reduced, indicating it might be time for replacement. Ensure the sole is clean of mud or debris.

Shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable

New suede shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. Consider different sock thicknesses for comfort.

Laces break frequently during skateboarding

Skateboarding can cause rapid lace wear. Consider replacing with durable, waxed laces designed for skate shoes, or use lace protectors if available.

Foot odor or dampness

Allow shoes to air out completely between wears. Remove insoles to dry separately if they are removable. Use shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain freshness.

Care Instructions:

  1. Brush Regularly: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  2. Spot Clean Stains: For stubborn spots, use a dedicated suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Apply sparingly and blot gently.
  3. Avoid Water: Suede is not highly water-resistant. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  4. Suede Protector: Consider applying a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
