Product Information

Full details

The Converse All Star Hi 70 Trainers are an iconic choice for kids who want a blend of heritage basketball style and modern comfort. These high tops are perfect for everyday streetwear, offering a durable, textured finish and the classic silhouette that has remained a cultural staple for decades. While they provide excellent style and reliability for daily wear, users should note that the high-top construction requires more time to lace up than low-profile slip-on alternatives.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Converse 70s series generally offers a standard fit. They are constructed from canvas, which has some natural give, but individuals with very wide feet may prefer to size up by half a size.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the glue binding the sole to the upper and may cause the canvas to lose its shape.

Are these good for sports?

While originally designed for basketball in the 70s, modern athletic shoes offer significantly more arch support and impact protection. These are best reserved for casual wear and daily activity.

How do I know my child's UK size?

It is best to measure your child's foot using a standard sizing gauge while they are wearing the socks they intend to use with the trainers.

Do the high tops provide ankle support?

They provide coverage, but they are not medical-grade orthopedic shoes. They are designed for general comfort and style.

Troubleshooting

Laces constantly come undone

Double-knot the laces or consider replacing them with elasticated no-tie laces for younger children.

Rubber edges turning yellow

Use a specialized rubber cleaning solution or a mixture of baking soda and water with a soft brush to gently scrub the white rubber.

Canvas looks dull or dusty

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dust and dirt particles from the fabric surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless, iconic design that pairs with any outfit
  • Improved cushioning makes them more comfortable for active kids
  • Durable construction handles daily wear and tear well
  • Versatile black colorway stays clean-looking longer

Cons

  • High-top design takes longer to put on and take off
  • Canvas material can be difficult to clean once deeply stained
  • Requires a brief break-in period for the canvas and rubber structure

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Converse All Star Hi 70s, keep the following care tips in mind:

  1. Cleaning: For light dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap to wipe the canvas and rubber components. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive on the soles.
  2. Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the rubber.
  3. Lacing: Adjust the laces to your desired tension before knotting. Because the ankle is high-cut, it is recommended to loosen the top two eyelets when putting them on to prevent strain on the heel tab.
  4. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew on the fabric.
