FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to size. However, the Chuck 70 series has a slightly roomier toe box than standard Converse, providing a more comfortable fit for most users.

Can these be machine washed?

No. Machine washing can ruin the leather material and the integrity of the rubber foxing glue. Clean them by hand only.

What is the difference between the standard Chuck Taylor and the 70s version?

The 70s version features premium leather or heavy-duty canvas, higher rubber foxing, superior cushioning, and historically accurate design details.

Is the leather waterproof?

While leather is naturally more water-resistant than canvas, these shoes are not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protector spray to improve water repellency.

Are these suitable for sports?

While originally designed for basketball in the 1970s, modern athletic standards are much higher. These are now intended for lifestyle and casual use, not high-performance sports.

Troubleshooting

The leather feels stiff and uncomfortable initially

Wear the shoes for 30-minute intervals indoors to help the leather 'break in' and soften to your foot shape.

Creasing appears on the leather upper

This is natural for high-quality leather; use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Scuff marks on the white rubber foxing

Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff away surface scuffs from the rubber.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior comfort compared to standard Chuck Taylor models
  • High-quality, durable leather material
  • Timeless vintage aesthetic
  • Improved structural support
  • Versatile unisex design

Cons

  • Leather requires more maintenance than canvas
  • Higher rubber foxing may feel stiffer initially
  • Weight is slightly higher than basic canvas versions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers are constructed from leather, initial wear may feel stiff; it is recommended to wear them for short durations to allow the material to flex and contour to your foot. Compatibility is excellent across various styles, ranging from denim jeans to casual chinos.

Care Instructions:

  1. Wipe off dirt and mud using a damp soft cloth after each use.
  2. Apply a leather conditioner periodically to prevent the material from drying out or cracking.
  3. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can damage the leather and foxing.
  4. Use a dedicated leather cleaner for deeper stains, avoiding harsh chemical detergents.
