FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of premium waxed cotton, offering a unique texture and enhanced durability.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The waxed cotton provides some water resistance, making them suitable for light rain, but they are not fully waterproof.

How do I clean the distinctive toe cap?

The white toe cap is made of rubber and can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap and water.

What is the main difference from a standard Chuck 70?

The key differences are the waxed cotton upper, the elevated tongue design, and the specific DRKSHDW branding and detailing by Rick Owens.

Is the sizing true to size?

Generally, Converse Chuck 70 models fit true to size. However, due to the specific materials and design of this collaboration, trying them on or consulting user reviews for fit is recommended.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

They offer some protection against light moisture due to the waxed upper, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.

What is the warranty on these sneakers?

Warranty information typically varies by retailer. Please refer to the point of purchase for details on the manufacturer's warranty.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels stiff initially

The waxed cotton and canvas construction may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your feet.

Waxed finish appears dull

Gently buff the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For a more significant refresh, consider using a specialized leather or waxed cotton conditioner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces get dirty easily

Remove laces and wash them with mild soap and water. Consider replacing them with black or white laces to match the shoe's color scheme if they become too worn.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. A small amount of baby powder or a silicone spray on the inside of the shoe where friction occurs might help.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the waxed cotton with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the wax finish. For stubborn marks, a specialized sneaker cleaner might be used sparingly.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the rubber sole and toe cap.
  • Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately or place them in a mesh bag for machine washing.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine dry.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
