FAQs
What makes the Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel different from a standard Chuck 70?
The primary difference is the distinctive 'De Luxe Heel' design, which offers an elevated, more sculptural heel compared to the traditional flat sole of classic Chuck 70s. This provides a unique aesthetic twist while retaining the premium features of the Chuck 70 series.
Are these shoes comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes, as part of the Chuck 70 series, they feature enhanced cushioning and a more supportive fit than classic Chuck Taylors, making them comfortable for extended casual wear. The premium canvas also contributes to overall comfort.
How do I choose the correct size?
Converse sizing can sometimes run slightly larger. It is generally recommended to try them on if possible or consult the Converse official size guide. For many, going down half a size from their usual sneaker size provides a better fit.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the canvas, alter the shoe's shape, and fade colors. It's best to spot clean them by hand using mild soap and water.
What material are the shoes made from?
The upper part of the shoe is constructed from durable cotton canvas, known for its breathability and classic look. The sole is made from rubber.
Are these shoes suitable for winter weather?
While the high-top offers some ankle coverage, the canvas material is not waterproof or heavily insulated. They are best suited for dry conditions and milder temperatures. For wet or cold weather, alternative footwear is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable around the ankle.
Try adjusting the lacing. Loosen the laces at the top eyelets or experiment with different lacing patterns that offer more flexibility around the ankle. A short break-in period is also common for new high-top shoes.
Canvas appears dirty or stained.
Spot clean with a mixture of mild soap and lukewarm water using a soft brush or cloth. Gently rub the affected area, then wipe away soap residue with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur if moisture is trapped between the insole and outsole. Try removing the insole (if removable), cleaning both surfaces, and ensuring they are completely dry before reinserting. If the squeak persists, a small amount of baby powder under the insole can help.
Shoes losing their shape or looking worn.
To help maintain shape, store them with shoe trees or crumpled newspaper inside when not in use. Regular cleaning and proper drying will also contribute to their longevity. Avoid excessive exposure to moisture.

These high-top shoes are designed for easy integration into your existing wardrobe. To wear them, simply unlace the top few eyelets, slide your foot in, and lace them up to your desired tightness. The unisex design ensures compatibility for all adult foot shapes in the specified size. For optimal comfort, ensure your socks are pulled up to avoid rubbing against the shoe's collar. As for care, the cotton canvas material requires gentle maintenance. To clean your Chuck 70 De Luxe Heels, gently brush off any loose dirt. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth to spot clean. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the canvas and color. Allow them to air dry completely, away from direct sunlight or heat. Do not put them in a dryer. Periodic cleaning will help maintain their fresh look and extend their lifespan.
