FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the Chuck 70 High-Top features a canvas upper and is not waterproof. They can be treated with a water-repellent spray, but they are not designed for wet conditions.

How do I find the right size?

Converse sizing can sometimes differ from other brands. It is recommended to measure your foot and consult the Converse size chart. Trying them on in-store if possible is ideal, or ordering your usual size and being prepared to exchange if the fit is not right.

What is the main difference between Chuck 70 and standard Chuck Taylors?

The Chuck 70 is a premium upgrade, featuring a heavier canvas, higher rubber foxing, vintage detailing, and a more comfortable OrthoLite® insole compared to the standard Chuck Taylor All Star.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the canvas upper will absorb water. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent discomfort and potential damage to the material.

How durable is the canvas material?

The canvas is generally durable for everyday wear, but like most canvas shoes, it can be prone to scuffs and stains. Proper care will help maintain its appearance and integrity.

What does 'High-Top' mean for these shoes?

High-top refers to the shoe's cut, which extends above the ankle. This design typically offers more ankle support and a distinct aesthetic.

Is the OrthoLite® insole removable?

Yes, the OrthoLite® insole is typically removable, allowing for the insertion of custom orthotics if needed.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear the shoes with medium-thickness socks for a few hours each day to allow the canvas to stretch slightly. Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly.

Canvas appears discolored or stained

Use a specialized canvas shoe cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and water. Gently scrub the stained area with a soft brush or cloth. For persistent stains, professional cleaning might be an option.

Soles feel slippery

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For new shoes, the outsole may have a slightly slick coating that wears off with use.

Tongue slips to the side

Utilize the winged tongue stitching by lacing through the designated loop if available on your model, or ensure laces are tied securely to keep the tongue centered.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush or cloth to wipe away debris. For tougher stains on the canvas, use a mild soap and water solution with a cloth or soft brush. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the shoe's structure.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help them maintain their shape during drying.
