Platform Converse?

I really want some smartish platform trainers in cream or beige for work.

Never owned a pair of converse so if buying in the UK then are they true to size?

Just had to send back a pair of platform supergra in my size as they were enormous.

Yes they are true to size and also very confortable

Highly recommend the Converse Run Star Hike. I have two pairs. Unlike the Chucks platforms which have a flat footbed, the Run Star Hike have a fantastically supportive footbed. They’re SOOOOOO comfy (and better made than the Chucks.)

I have the chuck lift flatforms and they are very comfortable. More so than the usual kind which I have two pairs of and like but the flatforms have a more springy sole.

Thanks! I'm now torn between those two styles, I'm going to have to find somewhere to try them on

I have just bought these for £9.60 in Peacocks (marked down from £12).
IMO they look much more expensive. They have other colours too.

I love my chucks platforms but want them in leather as material goes dirty .. they don't do them anymore they are so comfy too

Teenage DDs wear platform converse almost daily and a year in they still look brand new. They both love them and are hankering after another pair.

I have these two pairs:- the camo ones are surprisingly versatile, and the deep grey ones are leather. I’m wearing them right now as it’s a wee bit chilly where I live. I love these sneakers and get comments from all sorts of people about how cool they are.

Have the flat form converse hi tops in lilac and trainers in black and love them both. They are more comfortable than the normal ones without platform in my opinion! I wear them to my office job regularly.
