FAQs

How do I determine my correct size in Converse Chuck 70 Ox Low?

Converse Chuck 70s are often noted to run slightly larger than standard sizing. It's recommended to check a size chart or try them on if possible. Many users find ordering a half-size down from their usual athletic shoe size provides a better fit.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Chuck 70 Ox Low generally offers a standard fit. While the canvas has some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. They tend to be more accommodating than very narrow shoe designs.

What is the difference between Chuck 70 and standard Chuck Taylor All Stars?

Chuck 70s are a premium reimagining of the original Chuck Taylor All Star. They feature a heavier grade canvas, improved cushioning (like OrthoLite insoles), higher rubber siding on the midsole, and often more detailed stitching, offering enhanced durability and comfort.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The canvas upper is not waterproof. While they can withstand light moisture, they are not recommended for heavy rain or wet conditions as the material will absorb water and may stain.

How often should I clean my Chuck 70s?

Clean your Chuck 70s as needed, especially if they become visibly dirty. Spot cleaning after minor scuffs and a more thorough clean for heavier dirt will help maintain their appearance and longevity.

What does 'Ox Low' mean?

'Ox' refers to the Oxford variation, which is a lower cut of the Chuck Taylor shoe, as opposed to the high-top 'All Star' model. 'Low' simply emphasizes its low-top silhouette.

Does the brown colour fade over time?

Like most dyed canvas, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some fading over time. Storing them away from direct light when not in use can help preserve the colour's vibrancy.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with new canvas shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the canvas to break in and mold to your feet.

Squeaking noise when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe bed. Try removing the insole and placing a small piece of paper or powder underneath, then reinserting it. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.

Canvas gets dirty easily.

Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution. Consider using a canvas protector spray for added resistance, though test on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces wear out or break.

Replace laces with standard shoelaces of a similar length. Converse offers replacement laces, or any compatible shoelace brand will work.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These shoes require no assembly or setup. They are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size before wearing.

Compatibility:

  • Footwear: Compatible with most sock types. Consider no-show socks for a cleaner look with the low-top design.
  • Attire: Highly compatible with casual wear, including jeans, shorts, skirts, dresses, and athletic-inspired outfits.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Canvas: Spot clean the canvas upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the shoe's structure and materials.
  • Cleaning the Midsole/Sole: Use a shoe cleaner or a magic eraser to remove scuffs and dirt from the rubber midsole and outsole. A toothbrush can be useful for intricate areas.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape during drying.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
