FAQs
How does the Chuck 70 differ from the regular All Star?
The Chuck 70 features higher rubber foxing, a heavier canvas upper, enhanced cushioning, and authentic archival stitching compared to the standard model.
Are these shoes true to size?
Chuck 70s generally run slightly large, similar to traditional Converse sizing. Many users prefer to size down by half a size for a more snug fit.
Can I wash my Chuck 70s in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your shoes, as the heat and water can damage the adhesives used in the foxing and warp the structure.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
While they offer better support than standard canvas trainers due to the upgraded internal cushioning, they are not orthopaedic shoes.
What materials are used in the construction?
The core line features heavy-grade cotton canvas, while specific variations are available in premium leather or synthetic blends.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
Wear thick socks during the first few outings and gradually increase wear time to allow the canvas and footbed to break in.
Rubber foxing showing minor discoloration
Gently scrub the rubber sidewalls with a mixture of baking soda and water using an old toothbrush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Chuck 70 features a premium, dense canvas, it is recommended to ensure you have the correct size before wear, as the sturdy material does not stretch as much as thinner fabrics. For maintenance, keep these shoes looking fresh by spot-cleaning the canvas with mild soap and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can compromise the rubber foxing glue and the shape of the toe box. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the canvas color from fading. Use a leather conditioner if you opt for leather variants of the 70 series to keep the material supple.
