How much height does the platform add?

The sole is about 1.5 inches, so you stand noticeably taller than in a standard Chuck Taylor.

Do they fit true to size?

They run like other Converse Chuck Taylors, which many shoppers find run about half a size large. Try your usual Chuck size or size down if you are between sizes.

Are they comfortable for all-day wear?

The cushioned insole and padded collar help, but the platform sole is heavier and stiffer than a flat sneaker. They suit errands and casual days better than long walking days.

Spot clean the canvas with mild soap and a soft brush, and wipe the rubber toe cap and sole. Do not machine wash, since heat can warp the platform.

How do they compare with a standard Chuck Taylor?

Same canvas upper, rubber toe cap and lace-up high-top, but with a 1.5-inch platform, a cushioned insole and a printed finish instead of plain canvas.

What is included in the box?

One pair of sneakers with the laces already fitted. No extra laces or inserts are included.
