FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Converse Chuck 70s generally fit true to size. This specific variant is a UK 10.5. If you've worn Converse before, you can likely stick to your usual size. If you're unsure, it's often recommended to try them on or consult a size chart, but they are known for a consistent fit.
What is the difference between Chuck 70 and classic Chuck Taylors?
The Chuck 70 offers several upgrades, including a more durable, heavier-grade vintage canvas, a thicker rubber sole, a taller rubber-backed sidewall for enhanced support, and a more comfortable OrthoLite insole for superior cushioning compared to the classic Chuck Taylor.
Can I machine wash these shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the canvas, rubber, and overall structure of the shoe, and potentially cause colors to bleed or fade. Always opt for hand washing and spot cleaning.
Is the pink color prone to fading?
Like many dyed canvas products, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some fading over time. To preserve the vibrant pink hue, air dry away from direct sunlight and consider using a UV-protective spray for canvas shoes.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
Converse shoes, including the Chuck 70 series, are generally known for having a somewhat narrow fit. While the canvas upper offers some flexibility, individuals with particularly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on is the best way to assess comfort for wide feet.
How do I keep the white laces clean?
Remove the laces from the shoes. You can hand wash them with a mild detergent and warm water, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash them on a delicate cycle with your regular laundry. Air dry them thoroughly before reinserting.
Troubleshooting
Pink canvas appears dull or discolored.
Gently clean the canvas with a mild soap and cold water mixture. For tougher stains, use a dedicated canvas cleaner. Ensure thorough rinsing and air drying away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Shoes feel too stiff around the ankle.
This is common with new high-top shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. Adjust lacing to be less tight around the upper eyelets, and the taller rubber-backed sidewall will soften over time.
Foot discomfort despite OrthoLite insole.
Ensure you have the correct size (UK 10.5). If discomfort persists, check your lacing technique; overly tight or loose laces can affect comfort. For specific arch support needs, a different insole might be necessary, though the OrthoLite offers general cushioning.
Rubber sidewall has scuff marks.
Use a magic eraser or a soft cloth with a small amount of white toothpaste or baking soda paste to gently buff out scuff marks on the rubber parts of the shoe.

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the vibrant color of your canvas Chuck 70s.
- Spot Cleaning: For small marks, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap (like dish soap) and cold water. Gently scrub the affected area in circular motions.
- Deep Cleaning: For overall cleaning, remove the laces and OrthoLite insoles. Hand wash the canvas upper with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the color and material.
- Midsole & Sidewall: Wipe the rubber egret midsole and taller rubber-backed sidewall with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and scuffs.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuff them with paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider using a canvas protector spray designed for shoes to help repel water and stains, especially given the pink color.
- Laces: Laces can be hand-washed separately or replaced if heavily soiled.
