FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Converse Chuck 70 is designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for high-impact sports like running.
How do I ensure I choose the right size?
Converse Chuck 70s typically fit consistent with standard sizing; however, since they are canvas, they offer a slightly more snug fit than leather shoes.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the adhesives and cause the canvas to lose its shape or fade prematurely.
Are they water-resistant?
They are made of canvas, which is not water-resistant. We recommend applying a sneaker-safe water-repellent spray if you live in a rainy climate.
What is the difference between these and standard Chuck Taylors?
The Chuck 70 features a heavier-grade canvas, a higher rubber foxing, and a more cushioned insole compared to standard models.
Troubleshooting
The shoes feel too stiff when first worn
This is normal for the premium canvas used in Chuck 70s. Wear them with thick socks for short walks until the material softens.
White rubber sides are getting scuffed or dirty
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a damp magic sponge to gently scrub away marks from the white midsole.
Laces becoming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets properly; double-knotting or using a heel-lock lacing technique can also provide a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Converse Chuck 70 trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the canvas to soften and the footbed to mold to your unique foot shape.
- Sizing: These shoes generally run true to size, but consider wearing mid-weight socks for the most comfortable fit.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For dirt on the rubber foxing (the white side wall), a damp cloth with mild soap works effectively. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the glue and canvas integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the red pigment from fading over time.
