FAQs
What does 'De Luxe Heel' mean if the description states 'flat heel'?
The 'De Luxe Heel' refers to a distinctive design element or aesthetic of the shoe's heel section, providing a unique and elevated look. The 'flat heel' in the description confirms that the footbed inside the shoe maintains a level profile for comfort, without an elevated heel incline like traditional high heels.
Are these shoes true to size?
Converse sizing can sometimes vary. It is generally recommended to refer to the official Converse size chart or try them on to ensure the best fit for your UK size 9.5.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. For cleaning, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
What kind of outfits pair well with these high-tops?
These versatile high-tops are great with a wide range of casual wear, such as jeans, chinos, shorts, skirts, and casual dresses, adding a touch of classic style to your everyday look.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
Converse Chuck 70s typically feature a relatively flat footbed. For those requiring additional arch support, custom insoles can be added without compromising the fit too much.
Are these shoes suitable for all seasons?
The canvas material is generally best suited for dry, moderate weather. While durable, they may not offer sufficient warmth in very cold conditions or waterproof protection in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing carefully to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size 9.5 based on your foot measurements.
Scuff marks or dirt on the canvas upper.
Gently spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Blot dry and allow to air dry completely.
Foot discomfort after prolonged wear.
While designed for comfort, individual foot needs vary. Ensure proper lacing and consider using an aftermarket insole for additional arch support or cushioning if needed. Allow for a break-in period for new shoes.
Difficulty putting the shoes on.
Fully loosen the laces and open the top of the shoe wide before attempting to put your foot in. A shoehorn may also be helpful.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Unlace the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your foot in. Adjust the lacing from the toe upwards to achieve a snug, yet comfortable fit. Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent slipping.
Compatibility
- Wardrobe: These high-top sneakers are highly versatile. They pair excellently with denim, chinos, shorts, and casual dresses or skirts. Their classic black color makes them easy to integrate into most wardrobes.
- Gender: Designed as a unisex shoe, suitable for adults of all genders.
Care
- Cleaning: For general dirt and scuffs, gently spot clean the canvas upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, which can damage the material. For the rubber sole, a brush and soap can be used more vigorously.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, as these can cause material degradation.
- Maintenance: To help maintain shape, you can insert shoe trees or stuff them with paper when not in use. Regular cleaning will extend the life and appearance of your sneakers.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can severely damage the shoe's construction and materials.
