FAQs
Are the Converse Chuck 70 Hi 'Navy' suitable for wide feet?
The Chuck 70 generally has a more accommodating fit than some other sneaker models, but it is not specifically designed for wide feet. It's recommended to try them on if possible, or consider ordering half a size up if you typically need more width.
How do I clean the navy canvas upper?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and cold water. Gently clean the affected area and allow the shoes to air dry completely.
What is the difference between Chuck 70 and Chuck Taylor All Star?
The Chuck 70 is a premium version of the classic Chuck Taylor All Star. It features higher quality materials like heavier grade canvas, a glossier rubberized toe cap and midsole, upgraded cushioning with OrthoLite insoles, and often more detailed stitching and vintage-inspired elements.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The canvas material is not waterproof, and excessive moisture can damage the shoe and lead to discomfort. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. You can apply a water-repellent spray, but this does not make them fully waterproof.
Do these shoes have good arch support?
The Chuck 70 features OrthoLite insoles which provide cushioning and some level of support. However, they are not designed as specialized orthopedic footwear and may not offer sufficient support for individuals with severe arch issues.
What is the sizing like for the Converse Chuck 70 Hi 'Navy'?
Converse Chuck 70s are often noted to run slightly large compared to standard sizing. It's common for people to go down half a size from their usual shoe size. Checking the Converse size chart or trying them on is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Canvas shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Wearing thicker socks can also help stretch them slightly.
Discoloration on white rubber parts
Use a soft brush with a mixture of water and mild soap, or a magic eraser, to gently clean the rubber sole and midsole. Ensure to rinse and dry thoroughly.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction inside the shoe or with the sole. Ensure the insole is properly seated. Sometimes a light powder under the insole can help reduce squeaking.
Canvas appears faded after cleaning
Ensure you are using mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach. Always air dry away from direct heat and sunlight.
