FAQs

What is the 'De Luxe Heel' feature?

The 'De Luxe Heel' refers to the elevated and uniquely designed heel on these Chuck 70 shoes. It provides a subtle lift and a distinct, fashion-forward aesthetic, setting them apart from traditional flat-soled Chuck 70s.

Are these shoes comfortable for long walks or all-day wear?

The Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel is designed for everyday casual comfort. While suitable for regular urban walking and daily activities, they are not engineered for extensive long-distance walking or performance activities. The heel design may offer a different feel than a flatter sole.

How do I clean my Converse Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel shoes?

For the canvas upper, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water to spot clean. For rubber parts, a magic eraser or a cloth with white toothpaste works well. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Are these shoes true to size?

Converse sizing can sometimes vary. It is generally recommended to try them on if possible or consult a Converse size chart. Many find Chuck 70s to run slightly large, so some prefer to size down by half a size, but this can depend on foot width and personal preference.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The canvas material is not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light dampness, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles is not recommended, as it can soak the material and potentially damage the shoe. Consider weather-proofing sprays for added protection.

What kind of outfits do these shoes pair best with?

These shoes are highly versatile. They look great with casual outfits like jeans, shorts, and t-shirts, but their 'de luxe' heel also allows them to complement smart-casual attire such as tailored trousers, skirts, or casual dresses for a more elevated, stylish look.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with new canvas shoes. Wear them for short periods at first to 'break them in.' The canvas will soften and conform to your foot over time.

Canvas appears dirty or stained.

Gently spot clean the affected area with a soft brush or cloth, using a solution of mild soap and cool water. For tougher stains, consider a dedicated canvas shoe cleaner.

The white rubber foxing or toe cap is discolored.

Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with a small amount of white toothpaste to gently scrub away scuffs and marks. Rinse thoroughly.

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure you are tying a proper 'surgeon's knot' or simply double knotting your laces. You can also purchase new, slightly textured laces for better grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel shoes is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Unlace the shoes to loosen them sufficiently.
  2. Wearing: Slip your feet into the shoes. Adjust your socks to ensure a comfortable fit around the ankle.
  3. Tightening: Thread the laces through the eyelets, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. You can opt for a traditional bow knot or experiment with different lacing styles. Many prefer to leave the top eyelet unlaced for a relaxed look.
  4. Initial Wear: Wear them around the house for a short period to acclimate to the feel, especially the de luxe heel.

Compatibility

  • Outfits: Highly versatile. Pairs well with denim, chinos, casual dresses, skirts, and even some tailored separates for a high-low fashion approach. The 'de luxe' aspect makes them suitable for slightly more elevated casual looks than traditional Chucks.
  • Socks: Best worn with ankle-high or crew socks that complement the high-top design and prevent rubbing.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Converse Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel shoes:

  • Spot Cleaning: For canvas uppers, gently clean with a soft brush or cloth dipped in mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with mild soap. Air dry.
  • Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not put them in a dryer, as this can damage the material and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent fading and material degradation.
  • Deep Cleaning (Infrequent): For more thorough cleaning, a specialized canvas shoe cleaner can be used following the product's instructions.
