FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for hiking?

These are lifestyle shoes designed for urban environments and casual wear. While the lugged sole offers better grip than standard trainers, they are not designed for rigorous hiking or technical trails.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Converse or the retailer. Generally, Converse Chuck Taylors have a consistent fit, but the platform sole might affect the feel. Trying them on is the best way to ensure the perfect fit.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The canvas upper is not waterproof. While the lugged sole offers better traction, they are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, consider a waterproof alternative.

Are they true to size?

Converse Chuck Taylors, including the Lugged 2.0, are often considered to run slightly large. Many customers recommend going down a half size, especially if you have narrower feet. However, it's best to consult sizing guides and try them on if possible.

What is the main difference between these and classic Chuck Taylors?

The primary difference is the addition of a significantly thicker, lugged platform sole, which adds height, provides better grip, and gives the shoe a more robust, modern aesthetic compared to the original flat-soled design.

How do I clean the white rubber parts?

You can use a damp cloth with mild soap or a specialized shoe cleaner for rubber. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on and then re-tightened for a custom fit. If the issue persists after a wearing-in period, consider if the size is appropriate or if thicker socks are being used.

Slipping on the sole

While the lugged sole offers improved grip, extremely slick surfaces may still pose a challenge. Ensure the sole is clean of mud or debris that could affect traction.

Canvas shows signs of wear or discoloration

Clean gently with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the material and color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred tightness. Ensure the laces are securely tied for optimal fit and support.

Compatibility: The Chuck Taylor All Star Lugged 2.0 High is a versatile lifestyle shoe compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They pair well with jeans, joggers, leggings, skirts, and casual dresses.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For dirt and scuffs on the canvas, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly stronger cleaning solution can be used on the rubber parts only, avoiding the canvas.
  • Laces: Laces can be removed and hand-washed or machine-washed on a delicate cycle.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or bag to protect them from dust and damage.
