FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday use. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for most athletic activities.
How should I clean the black cotton canvas?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing. For stubborn stains, use a canvas shoe cleaner and test on a small area first. Always air dry.
What does the 'Hi '70' in the name signify?
The 'Hi '70' refers to the specific vintage-inspired design and construction details reminiscent of Chuck Taylor All Star trainers from the 1970s, often including features like heavier canvas and vintage details.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Sizing for Converse can vary. It is recommended to check customer reviews or try them on if possible. Many find they run slightly large.
Are they waterproof?
No, the cotton canvas material is not waterproof. They can be treated with a fabric protector spray for some water resistance, but they are not suitable for wet conditions.
What is the material of the sole?
The sole is made of durable rubber, providing traction and longevity.
Can I wear these in cold weather?
They can be worn in colder weather, but they offer minimal insulation. For very cold conditions, consider thicker socks or alternative footwear.
Troubleshooting
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace with standard Converse laces or any suitable replacement laces. Check the eyelets for sharp edges that might be causing damage.
Discoloration or staining on cotton canvas
Attempt spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, consider a specialized shoe cleaner designed for canvas, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Sole becoming detached
For minor separation, a strong adhesive designed for rubber and fabric, such as shoe glue, can be used for repair. For significant detachment, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.
Unpleasant odor inside the shoe
Ensure shoes are dry. Use baking soda or specialized shoe deodorizers inside the shoes overnight. Air them out regularly.
