How does the Run Star Hike fit compared with a regular Chuck Taylor?

It runs similar in length but narrower through the midfoot for some buyers. If you have wide feet, consider going up a half size.

Is the platform comfortable for all-day wear?

The Ortholite insole helps, but the stiff, heavy sole makes it better for shorter outings than long days on your feet.

Does the Run Star Hike need breaking in?

Yes. The platform and canvas are stiff out of the box and usually soften after several wears.

Is it good for rain or wet pavement?

The rubber outsole grips wet pavement well, but the canvas upper is not waterproof and will soak through in rain.

What is the platform height?

About 1.8 inches, which adds noticeable height without a traditional heel.

Yes, it is sold in unisex sizing, so choose your usual Converse size.

About the Converse Run Star Hike Platform Low-Top Sneakers

The Run Star Hike is Converse's chunky platform take on the Chuck Taylor, with a canvas upper, a lugged rubber outsole and a 1.8-inch platform that lifts the heel. It is a fashion-first shoe: the exaggerated sole and studded toe bumper draw attention, and the Ortholite insole softens the ride. It suits people who want height and a statement silhouette more than a light everyday sneaker. Against a standard Chuck Taylor it is heavier and stiffer, and owners often note the platform takes getting used to.
