FAQs

Are these shoes truly authentic?

Yes, the product information indicates that reputable retailers sell 100% original and authentic branded shoes, with a commitment against counterfeits.

The upper is made from waxed cotton, which provides a premium feel and increased durability.

How do these compare to standard Chuck Taylors?

Troubleshooting

Sizing seems off

Converse Chuck 70s generally run a half size large. Consider ordering a half size down from your usual size. Consult the brand's sizing chart for detailed measurements.

Waxed cotton material appears creased

Creasing is natural with waxed cotton. Minor creases can often be smoothed out by wearing the shoes. Avoid excessive folding or bending.

Difficulty lacing the shoe tightly

Ensure the laces are threaded evenly. You can also try alternative lacing techniques for a more secure or comfortable fit. The elevated tongue might require adjustment for initial comfort.

Discoloration on white rubber parts

Use a non-gel white toothpaste or a specialized shoe cleaner with a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub the rubber. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
