FAQs

Are these Converse Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel shoes true to size?

Converse Chuck 70s generally run true to size, but some users find them to have a slightly roomier fit than standard Chuck Taylors. We recommend checking the official Converse size chart or trying them on if possible for the best fit.

What is the 'De Luxe Heel' feature?

The 'De Luxe Heel' refers to the unique, elevated heel design integrated into this Chuck 70 model. It provides a subtle lift and a more refined, fashion-forward silhouette, setting it apart from traditional flat-soled Chuck 70s.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The durable canvas material is not inherently waterproof. While light drizzle may be tolerable, prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions is not recommended as it can cause the material to absorb water. For added protection, you can apply a water-repellent spray designed for canvas footwear.

How do I clean the purple canvas without fading the color?

To clean the purple canvas, use a mild soap mixed with cold water and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or hot water, as these can cause color fading. Always air dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight.

Are these shoes comfortable for all-day wear?

Built on the Chuck 70 platform, these shoes feature enhanced cushioning and a more robust construction than standard Chuck Taylors, offering improved comfort for extended wear. The high-top design also provides good ankle support.

What kind of outfits pair well with the purple color?

The vibrant purple (violet) color offers a versatile statement. It pairs beautifully with neutral tones like black, white, grey, and denim. It can also complement other jewel tones or be used as a pop of color with more subdued outfits. Think casual smart looks, urban streetwear, or even adding a unique touch to a skirt or dress.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable around the foot/ankle.

Ensure laces are not overtightened. The canvas material may soften slightly with wear. Try adjusting the lacing pattern for a looser fit around wider parts of your foot. If discomfort persists, consider trying a different sock thickness.

Canvas upper appears dirty or stained.

Gently clean the canvas with a mixture of mild soap and cold water using a soft brush or cloth. For stubborn stains, specialized canvas shoe cleaners can be used, following product instructions. Always air dry completely.

White rubber soles/toe cap have scuffs or discolouration.

Use a damp cloth with mild soap, a magic eraser, or a paste of baking soda and water to gently scrub the rubber parts. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes be caused by insoles rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insoles. Lightly sprinkling baby powder or cornstarch underneath the insoles can also reduce friction and eliminate squeaks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your Converse Chuck 70 De Luxe Heel High-Top Shoes is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Unlace the shoes to allow enough room for your foot. Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated.
  2. Adjusting: Begin lacing from the bottom eyelets, pulling each lace section taut enough for a snug fit without being too tight.
  3. Ankle Support: For high-tops, ensure the laces are tied securely around the ankle area to provide optimal support and prevent slipping.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for adults and are versatile enough to complement a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They pair well with:

  • Jeans, chinos, and trousers
  • Skirts and dresses
  • Shorts for a playful summer look

Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your canvas shoes:

  1. Spot Cleaning Canvas: For general dirt, mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with cold water. Use a soft brush (an old toothbrush works well) or a damp cloth to gently scrub the canvas in circular motions.
  2. Cleaning Rubber Soles & Heel: Use a damp cloth or a magic eraser to wipe down the rubber toe cap, sidewalls, and the De Luxe heel. For tougher scuffs, a paste of baking soda and water can be effective.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff the shoes with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help them retain their shape as they dry. Replace the paper as it becomes damp.
  4. Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the canvas, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
  5. Protective Sprays: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for canvas footwear to offer an extra layer of protection against the elements.
