FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing conventions, though some users prefer a half-size down if they like a snugger fit.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to machine wash Chuck 70s, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive and rubber components.
Are these suitable for athletic performance?
While rooted in basketball history, they are primarily lifestyle sneakers and do not feature the modern shock absorption required for high-impact sports.
How do I remove scuffs from the rubber sole?
A standard white pencil eraser or a melamine foam sponge often works wonders for removing scuffs from the rubber foxing.
Does the red canvas bleed color?
High-quality dyes are used, but avoid submerging the shoes in water for extended periods to maintain color integrity.
Troubleshooting
Canvas looks dull after exposure to dust
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt and wipe down with a slightly dampened cloth.
Laces feel too tight or restrictive
Unlace the shoe completely and re-thread, leaving a bit more slack at the bridge of the foot before tightening.
Footbed feels too firm initially
The Chuck 70 is designed to break in; wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Chuck 70s, it is recommended to keep them clean by wiping the rubber toe cap and foxing with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution. When lacing, take care to adjust the tension evenly across all eyelets to prevent uneven stretching of the canvas. For compatibility, these trainers are gender-neutral in design, fitting standard adult sizing. If you plan to wear them in wet conditions, consider using a protective fabric spray to repel water and prevent stains. Always store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the red and black color scheme.
