FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

Converse Chuck 70s often run a half to a full size larger than standard US sizing. It is recommended to try them on if possible, or consult a sizing chart and consider sizing down.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the textile and canvas upper is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry weather conditions.

What is the main difference between Chuck 70 and standard Chuck Taylor All-Stars?

The Chuck 70 is a premium version featuring higher quality materials, better cushioning (OrthoLite insoles), thicker rubber sidewalls, and enhanced stitching details, all based on the original 1970s design.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash Converse Chuck 70s, as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap instead.

What are the shoes made of?

The upper is made of textile and synthetic materials. The midsole is rubber, and the outsole is also synthetic rubber.

What does 'Egret' refer to on the midsole?

'Egret' refers to the off-white, vintage-inspired color of the rubber midsole, distinguishing it from a pure white sole.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Converse Chuck 70s are known to run slightly large. Try wearing thicker socks, or consider purchasing a half-size down if possible. Ensure laces are adjusted properly.

Discoloration on canvas

For minor scuffs, use a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized shoe cleaner or a mild soap and water solution, and clean gently with a soft brush or cloth. Always air dry.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try sprinkling a little baby powder or cornstarch under the insole. Ensure the insole is seated correctly.
