Product Information
Full details
The Converse Chuck 70 Suede GORE-TEX is designed for adults seeking the classic aesthetic of the iconic Chuck 70 silhouette with enhanced utility for unpredictable weather. Featuring a robust hairy suede upper paired with a water-resistant GORE-TEX membrane, these shoes provide superior comfort and protection in damp conditions. While they offer excellent durability and heritage style, the structured GORE-TEX lining may feel slightly more rigid than standard canvas Chucks initially, requiring a brief break-in period.

FAQs
Are these shoes fully waterproof?
They feature a water-resistant GORE-TEX membrane, which is highly effective against light rain and damp conditions, but they are not designed for deep submersion or heavy downpours.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Use a soft brush to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a suede-specific eraser or a very slightly damp cloth, then let the shoes air dry naturally.
Do I need to break these in?
Yes, because the GORE-TEX membrane and suede are stiffer than canvas, they will require a short break-in period to become fully comfortable.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the OrthoLite insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for your own custom orthotics if required.
Does the GORE-TEX make the shoe run hot?
GORE-TEX is designed to be breathable, but you may notice it feels warmer than a lightweight canvas shoe during high-temperature summer days.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight across the top of the foot
The GORE-TEX membrane adds thickness. Try loosening the laces significantly before putting them on, or wear thinner socks until the suede upper breaks in and stretches slightly.
Suede looks dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, soft toothbrush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction, which will help restore the texture.
Water resistance seems less effective over time
Over time, the DWR coating on the exterior can wear off. Apply a protective spray specifically formulated for suede and waterproof membranes to maintain the moisture-wicking properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines. Since the exterior is made of premium suede, it is recommended to use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt regularly. If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the rubber or harden the suede. Ensure you have the correct size for your foot shape, as the GORE-TEX lining provides a more structured and less flexible fit than canvas versions. If you prefer a looser feel, consider wearing thinner socks until the suede begins to soften and mold to your foot during the break-in process.
