FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing. If you prefer extra room for thicker socks, some users prefer to go up a half size.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is generally not recommended to machine wash Chuck Taylor trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive and rubber foxing.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The canvas upper has some natural flexibility which can accommodate various foot widths, but the structure is narrower than dedicated wide-fit athletic shoes.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, durable cotton canvas.
Do these provide good ankle support?
As high-tops, they provide physical coverage around the ankle, but they are not medical-grade support boots.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Consider using a double-knot or replacing the laces with textured cotton options for better friction.
Canvas becoming stained
Use a specialized canvas cleaner or a gentle mixture of baking soda and water, applying it with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
Feeling discomfort in the arch
Because these shoes have a flat construction, consider inserting aftermarket orthotic insoles for better arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Chuck 70s starts with ensuring the proper size fit. Since these are unisex, verify your specific UK sizing before purchase.
To keep your trainers in top condition:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean the canvas. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature. Direct heat, such as radiators or hair dryers, can warp the rubber components and damage the cotton.
- Maintenance: You can remove the laces periodically and soak them in warm soapy water to refresh their appearance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the black colour from fading over time.
