FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Converse sizing can sometimes run slightly large. It's generally recommended to try on a pair if possible or consult a size chart. For the Chuck 70 series, many find them to be true to size or slightly larger than the classic Chuck Taylor.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
Machine washing is generally not recommended as it can damage the canvas, adhesives, and structure of the shoe, particularly the unique 'De Luxe Heel'. Spot cleaning by hand is the safest method to preserve their quality.
What is the 'De Luxe Heel'?
The 'De Luxe Heel' refers to a distinct design element in this particular Chuck 70 model that gives the shoe an elevated and more sophisticated aesthetic compared to the standard flat-soled Chuck 70. It adds a subtle lift and unique silhouette.
Are these suitable for cold or wet weather?
Given their canvas construction, these shoes offer limited protection against cold or wet weather. They are best suited for dry, moderate conditions. Consider applying a water-repellent spray for light moisture protection, but avoid heavy rain.
How do I break in new Converse Chuck 70s?
Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Thick socks can help prevent rubbing and blisters during the break-in period. The canvas will soften and mold to your feet over time with regular use.
What makes the Chuck 70 different from the classic Chuck Taylor?
The Chuck 70 typically features heavier-grade canvas, a thicker rubber sole, improved cushioning, and often vintage details like off-white soles and a black heel patch, providing a more premium feel, enhanced comfort, and durability than the standard Chuck Taylor.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try loosening the laces, especially around the ankle. Wear them with thinner socks or break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods.
Canvas appears dirty or stained
Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, a specialized canvas shoe cleaner can be used. Always air dry the shoes thoroughly away from direct heat.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe body. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then replacing the insole.
Laces frequently come untied
Ensure you are tying your laces with a proper double knot. You can also try replacing the laces with a different material or texture that offers more grip, or using a lace lock.

Care
To keep your Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel looking its best:
- Cleaning: For general dirt, gently brush off loose debris. For tougher spots, use a mild soap (like laundry detergent diluted in water) and a soft brush or cloth. Apply to the affected area, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the canvas and sole.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
- Laces: Laces can be removed and machine-washed in a mesh bag for a deeper clean.
