FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Converse sizes can sometimes run slightly large. It's recommended to check a Converse size guide or try them on if possible. This specific pair is UK adult size 9.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the canvas provides some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended as it can saturate the canvas and cause discomfort or potential damage.
How do I style the 'De Luxe Heel' feature?
The elevated heel adds a unique fashion element. Pair them with ankle-length jeans, midi skirts, or dresses to highlight the heel. They work well for adding a chic edge to casual outfits.
Is the heel stable for walking?
The De Luxe Heel is designed for stability, but like any heeled shoe, it provides a different walking experience than a flat sneaker. Take care on uneven surfaces.
Can I replace the laces?
Yes, the laces are standard and can be replaced with any preferred color or style of high-top sneaker laces to personalize your look.
What type of socks should I wear?
Crew socks that complement the green color or contrasting patterns can enhance the high-top look. No-show socks can also work if you prefer a 'bare ankle' appearance with the elevated heel.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Like many new shoes, these may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the canvas and sole to conform to your foot.
Canvas appears dirty or stained.
Spot clean immediately with a mild soap and damp cloth. For tougher stains, a specialized canvas shoe cleaner can be used, following product instructions.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur between the insole and the shoe body. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder inside the shoe, then reinserting the insole.
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure you are double-knotting your laces. You can also try replacing standard laces with slightly thicker or textured laces for better grip.

Care Instructions
To keep your green canvas Chuck 70s looking their best:
- Spot Clean: For minor dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. Gently rub the affected area.
- Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, mix warm water with a small amount of laundry detergent. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to scrub the canvas.
- Rinse & Dry: Wipe off soap residue with a clean, damp cloth. Allow shoes to air dry completely, away from direct sunlight or heat, to prevent shrinking or fading. You can stuff them with paper towels to help maintain their shape.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole and toe cap with a damp cloth or a magic eraser for stubborn scuffs.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the shoe's structure and cause colors to fade.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
