FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and fashion. The platform sole is not optimized for athletic performance or running.

How much height do the platform soles add?

The platform sole significantly increases the shoe's height, providing a noticeable lift. The exact measurement can vary slightly but is substantial enough to alter your perceived height.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the canvas is durable, it is not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to wet conditions can saturate the canvas and potentially damage the shoe. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

What is the cushioning like?

These trainers feature OrthoLite cushioning, which is designed to provide good comfort and support for everyday wear.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the standard Converse sizing guide. These are designed for adult women, and it's recommended to measure your foot for the most accurate fit. UK size 8 is listed for this specific product.

Is the platform sole durable?

Yes, the platform sole is constructed to be durable for regular wear. However, like any footwear, excessive force or abrasive contact can lead to wear and tear.

Can the platform affect my balance?

For some individuals, the increased height from the platform may require a short adjustment period for balance. Walking carefully in them initially is advised.

Troubleshooting

Laces are difficult to tighten evenly.

Ensure the eyelets are clear and try lacing with a slightly different pattern, crisscrossing tightly at the bottom and loosening at the top.

Canvas appears stained or dirty.

Spot clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated canvas shoe cleaner following product instructions.

Discomfort after extended wear.

The platform may require an adjustment period. Consider wearing them for shorter durations initially. Ensure the lacing is adjusted for optimal comfort, not too tight or too loose.

Shoes feel heavier than expected.

This is characteristic of platform shoes. If the weight is a significant concern, these may not be the ideal choice for activities requiring lightness.
