FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Chuck 70 tends to run slightly large. Many users prefer ordering a half-size down from their standard shoe size.
Can these be worn in the rain?
While the rubber sole provides some protection, the canvas upper is not waterproof and will soak up water. Avoid heavy rain to keep them clean and dry.
Are they suitable for the gym?
They are ideal for weightlifting due to their flat, stable sole, but they lack the shock absorption needed for running or high-impact cardio.
How do I maintain the colour?
Keep them out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use to prevent the red dye from fading.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
What is the difference between these and regular Chuck Taylors?
The Chuck 70 features higher-quality canvas, a thicker rubber sole, better cushioning, and vintage-accurate stitching and design details.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on the white rubber midsole
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with baking soda to gently buff away scuffs and stains.
Canvas feeling stiff during the first week
Wear them with thicker socks for the first few days to gently stretch the fabric and soften the material.
Laces becoming undone frequently
Use a double knot or replace with slightly longer or more textured laces to increase friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Converse Chuck 70 trainers last, consider these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth and mild soap to spot-clean the canvas surface. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the glue bonds and rubber components.
- Drying: Air dry your trainers in a well-ventilated area. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the rubber foxing.
- Fit: Ensure you have selected your correct UK size. The Chuck 70 is known for having a slightly generous fit; if you are between sizes, consider a half-size down for a more secure feel.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the red pigment from fading over time.
