FAQs
Are the Converse Chuck 70 High waterproof?
No, the canvas upper is not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, they are not suitable for heavy rain or wet conditions.
How do I determine my size?
Converse Chuck 70s generally run true to size, but it's recommended to check the Converse size chart for accurate measurements, especially for UK sizing.
Can I wear these shoes in the summer?
Yes, the canvas material makes them breathable and comfortable for warm weather.
What is the difference between Chuck 70 and standard Chuck Taylor All-Stars?
The Chuck 70 features a more durable canvas, higher rubber foxing, enhanced cushioning with an OrthoLite insole, and vintage details for a premium feel and comfort.
How should I store these shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, away from direct sunlight to maintain color and material integrity.
Is the 'Rush Blue' color prone to fading?
Vibrant colors can fade over time with prolonged sun exposure. Storing them properly and using fabric protectors can help minimize fading.
Troubleshooting
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent and water. Air dry before re-lacing.
Canvas appearing faded
Use a fabric refresher or a mild cleaning solution designed for canvas. Ensure thorough rinsing and air drying.
Discomfort during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the canvas and cushioning to mold to your feet. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in period.
Sole discoloration
Use a magic eraser or a specialized sole cleaner with a soft cloth to gently remove scuffs and discoloration from the rubber parts.
