FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, Chuck 70s run slightly larger than standard dress shoes. A UK 7.5 will fit most who typically wear that size, but it is best to wear your preferred thickness of socks during your first try-on.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the glue holding the soles and weaken the canvas.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from durable, high-quality cotton canvas.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Chuck 70 has a relatively standard width, but the canvas upper does stretch slightly over time to accommodate wider foot shapes.
How do I maintain the color brightness?
Keep the shoes out of prolonged direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the red and blue dyes from fading.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff when new
Wear them for short periods at home to gradually break in the cotton canvas and footbed.
Laces coming undone
Use a double knot or replace with slightly shorter laces if the current ones are too long.
Visible scuffs on rubber toe cap
Use a standard pencil eraser or a melamine sponge to gently buff away surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Converse Chuck 70s stay in top condition, follow these guidelines. For sizing, this specific model is a standard UK 7.5; always ensure you have enough room in the toe box for natural foot expansion. To keep the shoes clean, spot-clean the cotton upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as the high heat and agitation can degrade the adhesives. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain the structural integrity of the rubber toe cap and sole.
