FAQs

Are these true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult UK sizing for a high-top sneaker.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can cause the glue to weaken and the leather to warp. Stick to manual spot cleaning.

How do I protect the leather?

You can apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray to help maintain the finish and protect against moisture.

What is the primary difference between the Hi 70 and standard All Star?

The Hi 70 features a more durable construction, slightly thicker rubber, and improved interior cushioning for better support.

Do these shoes provide arch support?

They provide basic support suitable for casual daily wear, though they are not designed as specialized orthopaedic footwear.

Troubleshooting

Stiff fit during the first few wears

Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.

Rubber sides getting scuffed

Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a pencil eraser to gently remove surface marks from the white foxing.

Difficulty putting on the shoe

Loosen the top three eyelets completely before inserting your foot to reduce tension on the ankle collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Converse All Star Hi 70s stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Ensure you have proper socks to prevent rubbing during the initial break-in period.
  2. Lacing: Adjust the laces from the bottom up to customize the tightness across the midfoot.
  3. Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution for stubborn dirt on the rubber foxing.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
  5. Maintenance: Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity of the leather and the rubber bond.
