Are they waterproof?

Troubleshooting
Canvas becoming stiff after storage
Flex the shoes by hand or wear them for a few hours to allow body heat to naturally soften the cotton fibers.
Scuff marks on the rubber midsole
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a damp magic sponge to gently remove surface scuffs from the white rubber area.
Laces coming loose frequently
Ensure a double-knot is used or replace with slightly longer laces if preferred to increase the length available for tying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Converse Chuck 70 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes generally fit true to size, though it is recommended to reference the UK size chart before purchasing.
- Initial Wear: If the canvas feels stiff, wear them for short periods around the house to allow the material to soften to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Spot clean the canvas using a soft cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the rubber foxing and adhesive.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the black fabric from fading over time.
