If you’ve compared three tabs for the same pair of high tops and seen three different prices, you’re not imagining it. The official Converse UK (official women’s high-top listing) puts the Chuck Taylor All Star Leather at £75.00, which gives you a fixed reference point for every other price here.

What is a Converse high top platform?
A platform high top is a Converse high top built on a chunky sole, and Converse UK’s category page lists platform and extra-high models as part of its high-top range (Converse UK (official high-top category page)). The brand’s platform page describes chunky platforms in butter-soft leather as a premium option (Converse UK (official platform category page)).
How does a platform sole differ from a flat sole?
- Converse UK describes its platform styles as chunky, and its women’s listing adds lugged soles that give extra grip on slippery surfaces (Converse UK (official women’s high-top listing)).
- The reviewed listings give no sole heights, so the platform difference shows up in the silhouette rather than in a published measurement.
The implication: a platform changes the look and the grip story, but the sources do not quantify the height, so check each product description before ordering.
Which platform models appear in current UK listings?
- Chuck Taylor All Star Lift Platform, priced from £39.97 to £80.00 across five colours on Converse UK (Converse UK (official women’s high-top listing))
- Lift Platform Water-Repellent at £85.00 in two colours on Converse UK (Converse UK (official women’s high-top listing))
- Lift High Platform at £60.00, was £80.00, after a 20% checkout discount at JD Sports UK (JD Sports UK (women’s Converse hi-tops listing))
Converse UK’s platform page lists the Lift Platform at £49.97 against an £80.00 original (Converse UK (official platform category page)), while JD Sports reaches £60.00 only after its checkout discount. The discount, not the headline price, is the figure to compare.
The implication: the platform decision is as much about where you buy as about the style itself.
Are Converse high tops available for women?
Yes, and women’s styles sit inside the main high-top catalogue. Converse UK lists 273 women’s and 251 men’s high-top products (Converse UK (official high-top category page)), so women’s products make up just over half the site’s high-top range.
Where do women’s styles sit within the wider high-top range?
- 273 women’s and 251 men’s high-top products on Converse UK (Converse UK (official high-top category page))
- Women’s listings span the Lift Platform, Water-Repellent and leather models on Converse UK (Converse UK (official women’s high-top listing))
- JD Sports UK lists 11 women’s Converse high-top products (JD Sports UK (women’s Converse hi-tops listing))
The pattern: women’s styles are not a side range. They sit in the same catalogue as men’s, so the size chart on each product page decides the fit.
How do women’s and men’s size charts compare?
- Converse India’s size guide maps US women’s 8.5 to UK 6 and EU 40, with a length of 24.5 cm (Converse India (official size guide))
- Converse India says women’s Chuck Sneaker shoes run large and recommends going a half size down (Converse India (official size guide))
- The Sole Supplier says women’s Chuck Taylor high tops are generally known to run true to size (The Sole Supplier (UK retailer, women’s high-top page))
The trade-off: the two sources give conflicting fit advice, and no men’s chart was retrieved for comparison. Read the chart on the listing you are buying from.
What colours do Converse high tops come in?
Black and white show up across retailer listings, though they are not the whole range. Office.co.uk alone lists a black-and-white platform and an optical-white high top at different prices (Office.co.uk (UK retailer, Converse high tops)).
Which black and white colourways appear in listings?
- Lift Platform in Black White at £64.00, was £79.99, at Office.co.uk (Office.co.uk (UK retailer, Converse high tops))
- All Star Hi Trainers in Optical White at £50.00, was £64.99, at Office.co.uk (Office.co.uk (UK retailer, Converse high tops))
- Lift Platform Leather High in Black at £54.00 from The Sole Supplier, a marketplace listing (The Sole Supplier (UK retailer, leather platform listing))
The implication: black and white appear at several sellers in the reviewed results, so the useful comparison is seller against seller, not colour against colour.
Which colourways go beyond black and white?
- Womens Chuck Taylor All Star Lift Hi Platform High-Top Trainers in Brown at £85 at Very.co.uk (Very.co.uk (UK retailer, Converse brand page))
- Lift Hi Trainers in Purple at £52, was £80, at Very.co.uk (Very.co.uk (UK retailer, Converse brand page))
- Chuck Taylor Lift Hi Burgundy at £80.00 on The Sole Supplier’s women’s page (The Sole Supplier (UK retailer, women’s high-top page))
- Lift Platform High-Top Trainers in Pink from Senser at £100 (Lyst UK (fashion price aggregator))
The trade-off: unusual colours turn up at both ends of the price range, from £52 at Very.co.uk to £100 on Lyst UK, so colour alone does not tell you what you will pay.
Are Converse high tops made in leather?
Yes. The Chuck Taylor All Star Leather lists at £75.00 on Converse UK (Converse UK (official women’s high-top listing)), and the brand’s platform page calls its chunky platforms in butter-soft leather a premium option (Converse UK (official platform category page)).
What do leather and suede uppers add?
- Converse UK says its durable leather and suede uppers help keep your feet dry (Converse UK (official women’s high-top listing))
- Some options come with chunky lugged soles that provide extra grip (Converse UK (official women’s high-top listing))
- Canvas is the other upper material, and the reviewed listings give no wear or care comparison between canvas and leather.
The implication: leather is positioned as the durable, premium option, but the reviewed sources offer no wear testing, so the choice rests on price and feel.
What does a leather platform high top cost in listed prices?
- Chuck Taylor All Star Leather at £75.00 on Converse UK (Converse UK (official women’s high-top listing))
- Lift Platform Leather High in Black at £54.00 on The Sole Supplier, a marketplace listing (The Sole Supplier (UK retailer, leather platform listing))
- Pre-owned women’s leather platform trainers in UK size 6 at £22.99, according to a eBay UK (marketplace, pre-owned listings) entry
The pattern: new leather platforms run from £54.00 at a marketplace seller to £75.00 at the brand, and pre-owned pairs sit lower again. Buying new from the brand costs more than the marketplace listing here.
Which Converse high tops are available in size 6?
UK 6 sits inside the official range. Converse UK’s women’s high-top filter runs from 2.5 to 18 (Converse UK (official women’s high-top listing)), so the size exists in the system. Stock by colourway is a different question, and the reviewed pages do not answer it.
What does a UK size 6 mean on a Converse size chart?
- Converse India’s size chart lists US women’s 8.5 as UK 6 and EU 40 (Converse India (official size guide))
- The same chart gives a length of 24.5 cm for that size (Converse India (official size guide))
- The chart maps UK 6 to EU 40, not EU 39, so EU 39 is not the equivalent shown in this source.
The implication: a shopper converting from EU sizes should not assume UK 6 equals EU 39, because the only chart retrieved maps it to EU 40.
Which retailers show size 6 stock for a given colourway?
- Converse UK’s women’s listing shows the size range but no stock per size in the reviewed results (Converse UK (official women’s high-top listing))
- Pre-owned UK size 6 pairs appear on eBay UK, according to a eBay UK (marketplace, pre-owned listings) entry
- No retailer in the reviewed set confirmed UK size 6 stock for the leather platform style.
A size 6 on a secondhand listing is not stock at Converse UK. Confirm the seller’s stock and the size chart before paying, because the pre-owned size 6 prices in the reviewed set come from a marketplace (eBay UK (marketplace, pre-owned listings)).
The implication: size 6 is a question for each listing, not a fixed feature of the model, so the check happens before checkout.
Nine listings, one pattern: the brand’s own pages set the reference prices, and retailers land above or below them depending on discounts and marketplace stock.
| Listing | Where listed | Listed UK price |
|---|---|---|
| Chuck Taylor All Star Lift Platform (women’s high top) | Converse UK (official women’s high-top listing) | £39.97 – £80.00 across 5 colours |

| Chuck Taylor Lift Platform High (women’s) | PriceSpy UK (UK price comparison) | From £50.47 |
| Chuck Taylor Lift Platform Leather High, Black | The Sole Supplier (UK retailer, leather platform listing) | £54.00 (marketplace listing) |
Confirmed facts and open questions
The brand’s own pages carry most of the verified numbers, while retailer prices and secondhand listings carry most of the open questions.
Confirmed
- Chuck Taylor All Star Leather at £75.00 on Converse UK (Converse UK (official women’s high-top listing))
- Converse UK’s women’s size filter runs from 2.5 to 18 (Converse UK (official women’s high-top listing))
- Lift Platform at £49.97, was £80.00, on Converse UK’s platform page (Converse UK (official platform category page))
Still open
- Stock for UK size 6 by colourway, which the reviewed pages do not show
- Whether listed prices still stand, since captured dates vary and some retailer dates are unreliable
- Converse’s official size-to-EU mapping for UK 6, since only the India chart was retrieved
- Whether the Water-Repellent platform is fully waterproof, since no official statement was retrieved
The pattern: the confirmed items come from brand pages, and the open items are the ones that decide the purchase.
What the sellers say
Brand and retailer copy shapes most of the buying decisions here, and the three quotes below pull in different directions.
“Durable leather and suede uppers help keep your feet dry, plus we have options with chunky lugged soles that provide extra grip on slippery surfaces.”
Converse UK (official women’s high-top listing)
“These shoes run large. We recommend going a half size down.”
Converse India (official size guide)
“Generally, women’s Converse Chuck Taylor high tops are known to run true to size.”
The Sole Supplier (UK retailer, women’s high-top page)
Why this matters: the brand’s India fit note disagrees with a UK retailer’s, so neither quote can replace the chart on the product you are buying.
Where that leaves a UK buyer
Converse UK gives the steadiest numbers in this set: a £39.97 – £80.00 range for the Lift Platform, a 2.5 to 18 size filter and 273 women’s high tops, all on the brand’s own pages. Everywhere else, prices bend with the seller. JD Sports UK reaches £60.00 only after a checkout discount, Very.co.uk lists a brown Lift Hi Platform at £85, and pre-owned pairs appear at £22.99 according to eBay UK. For a wider look at UK footwear guides, the Man Shoes UK Guide covers smart, casual and designer shoes for men. For a UK buyer hunting size 6, the choice is clear: buy from Converse UK or from a retailer that shows size 6 stock on the product page, or accept the risk of a pre-owned pair and check its measurements before paying.
