FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Converse Chuck 70s typically run slightly large compared to standard athletic sneakers. Many users find that sizing down by a half size provides a better fit.
Can I machine wash my Chuck 70s?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive holding the rubber sole to the canvas.
Is the insole removable?
The insoles are designed for comfort and are generally fixed in place; removing them may compromise the cushioning benefit of the 70s series.
What is the difference between these and the standard Chuck Taylor?
The Chuck 70 features a heavier, double-ply canvas, higher-quality stitching, improved cushioned insoles, and a slightly thicker, glossy rubber foxing.
Are these unisex?
Yes, the Chuck 70 Hi is a unisex design and sizing is consistent across the range for all genders.
How do I maintain the white toe cap?
Regularly wipe the rubber toe cap with a damp cloth or a melamine sponge to remove scuffs and keep them looking bright.
Troubleshooting
The canvas upper has become stained.
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a gentle mixture of water and mild detergent with a soft cloth to blot the stain; avoid harsh chemicals.
Foot discomfort during initial wear.
Chuck 70s often require a short break-in period for the canvas to soften and the insole to mold to your foot; wear them for short durations initially.
Laces are fraying.
Standard flat laces are compatible with these trainers; simply replace them with a similar length and width to maintain the original look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Chuck 70s, ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets for optimal support. If the fit feels too tight, adjust the lacing tension throughout the midfoot.
For cleaning, spot clean the canvas upper with a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes fully in water, as this may affect the integrity of the vulcanized rubber. To keep the white rubber toe cap and side taping looking sharp, wipe them down periodically with a damp magic eraser or a simple soap-and-water solution. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the canvas or rubber from cracking.
