FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Converse Chuck 70 generally runs slightly large; many users prefer to go down a half-size compared to their standard athletic sneaker size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your Chuck 70s as it can damage the canvas and weaken the rubber bonding.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The classic Chuck 70 silhouette has a relatively slim profile. Those with very wide feet may find them snug, though the canvas will relax slightly over time.
What is the primary difference between the Chuck Taylor and the Chuck 70?
The Chuck 70 features a heavier canvas, a higher rubber foxing, and improved interior cushioning compared to the standard Chuck Taylor All Star.
How do I keep the red colour vibrant?
Avoid leaving the shoes in direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use, as UV rays can lead to colour fading over time.
Troubleshooting
Canvas becoming stiff after storage
Wear the shoes for short periods to allow the natural heat from your feet to soften the fabric fibers.
Rubber parts appearing dull
Gently wipe the rubber foxing and toe cap with a damp cloth and a small amount of non-abrasive cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Converse Chuck 70s last, it is important to keep them clean. Given the vibrant red canvas, spot clean any dirt or stains using a soft cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid machine washing, as this can weaken the adhesives and potentially fade the colour. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the rubber foxing. For the best fit, ensure your laces are tensioned comfortably across the instep before walking to prevent heel slippage.
