FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing, but Converse often fit slightly larger than some other brands, so consider your typical preference for roominess.
Can these be machine washed?
It is not recommended to put Chuck 70s in a washing machine as the agitation and heat can damage the rubber and canvas. Always hand clean.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
They are made of canvas, which is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to keep the material and colour in good condition.
What is the difference between these and standard Chucks?
The 70s line typically features heavier canvas, a higher rubber foxing, and a slightly more cushioned footbed compared to the standard All Star model.
Does the colour fade?
Like any dyed textile, excessive exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. Proper storage out of the sun will preserve the vibrancy.
Troubleshooting
The canvas material is getting dirty quickly.
Apply a water-repellent spray specifically designed for canvas shoes to create a protective barrier against dust and light moisture.
The shoes feel too stiff when new.
Wear them with slightly thicker socks during the first few uses to help stretch and soften the canvas naturally.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Iconic, timeless design that fits most casual styles
- High-quality construction ensures long-term durability
- Vibrant, eye-catching colour scheme
- Provides reliable grip for daily walking
Cons
- Canvas material can be difficult to clean if stained
- Not intended for heavy athletic use or wet conditions
- Initial fit may feel stiff before the canvas breaks in
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these guidelines for maintenance and wear:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the canvas to soften to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean the canvas. Avoid fully submerging them in water, as this can affect the glue and material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the vibrant pink upper.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces to your preferred tension; the classic eyelet system allows for a customised fit across the arch of the foot.
