FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash Converse Chuck 70s, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the canvas.
How do these differ from standard Chuck Taylor All Stars?
The 70s series features a thicker canvas, a higher rubber foxing, increased interior cushioning, and more premium stitching details.
Is the sizing the same as other Converse models?
Generally, yes, but because the 70s feature more padding, some users find they fit slightly more snugly than the basic canvas models.
Can these be used for skating?
Yes, their design is inspired by skate shoes and they offer good grip and board feel, although they are primarily marketed as lifestyle trainers.
How do I keep the white laces bright?
Remove the laces and soak them in a mixture of warm water and a small amount of fabric-safe bleach or baking soda, then rinse and air dry.
Troubleshooting
Canvas becoming stained or dusty
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild detergent for spot cleaning.
Difficulty putting on the high-top
Loosen the top three eyelets completely to allow for a wider opening when sliding your foot in.
Midsole showing scuff marks
A rubber eraser or a magic sponge dampened with water is highly effective for cleaning rubber foxing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you tighten the laces through the metallic eyelets to your desired tension to secure the midfoot. These trainers run true to standard sizing, but because of the sturdy canvas, they may feel slightly snug when brand new. To care for your shoes, wipe the rubber foxing with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove scuffs and dirt. For the canvas upper, allow dirt to dry before brushing it off, or spot-clean with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the glue and internal cushioning. If the canvas gets wet, air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources to prevent the fabric from stiffening.
