FAQs
Are these true to size?
The Converse Chuck 70 series generally fits consistent with standard sizing, though some users prefer a half-size down due to the slightly longer fit characteristic of the brand.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the rubber foxing and weaken the adhesive, significantly shortening the lifespan of your trainers.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The canvas material provides some flexibility, but the silhouette is relatively slim. If you have very wide feet, you may find the standard width restrictive.
What is the primary difference between standard Chucks and Chuck 70s?
The Chuck 70 features premium canvas, higher-grade rubber, and extra cushioning in the footbed, providing a more durable and comfortable experience than the base model.
How do I best protect the grey canvas?
Apply a fabric-safe stain and water repellent spray immediately after unboxing to help prevent dirt and liquid from penetrating the fibres.
Troubleshooting
The shoe feels too tight at first.
The canvas upper will naturally stretch and mold to your foot shape after a few days of consistent wear.
Difficulty putting on the high-top style.
Loosen the top three eyelets of the laces entirely before inserting your foot to provide more space.
Scuffs appearing on the rubber sole.
Use a specialized rubber eraser or a magic sponge to gently buff away black scuff marks from the side foxing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Chuck 70 Hi trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. When you first receive your pair, ensure you are wearing socks that allow for proper adjustment of the laces for your preferred tension. If the shoes become dirty, spot-clean the canvas using a mild detergent and a damp cloth; avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the glue and materials. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. For maintenance, replace the laces periodically if they become frayed, and consider using a water-repellent spray to protect the canvas from light moisture.
