FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash Converse trainers. Hand cleaning with mild soap and water is the best method to preserve the materials.
How do I know if the size 5.5 UK is right for me?
The Converse 70s generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, we recommend trying them on with the type of socks you intend to wear most often.
Does the colour fade easily?
While the colour is high quality, exposing any canvas footwear to prolonged direct sunlight may cause slight fading. Store them in a shaded area.
Can I use these for sports?
These are lifestyle trainers. While durable, they lack the technical support and cushioning required for high-intensity sports or running.
What is the difference between these and standard Chucks?
The '70s' models feature higher-quality canvas, a slightly thicker midsole for better cushioning, and vintage-style detailing that mimics the original 1970s design.
Troubleshooting
Canvas becoming stained
Gently spot clean using a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Initial stiffness when new
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Chuck Taylor 70s, keep the following tips in mind:
- Sizing: These shoes fit true to size, but consider the thickness of your socks when determining your fit.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the canvas. Avoid soaking the shoes, as this can affect the glue and integrity of the materials.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant pink colour from fading over time.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces to your preferred tension; the high-top design allows for a secure, customized fit around the ankle.
