FAQs

How do I know if I have the right size?

Converse Chuck 70s often fit a half to a full size larger than typical sneakers. It's best to measure your foot length and consult the brand's sizing chart, or try them on if possible, paying attention to the UK sizing provided.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these sneakers are made primarily of canvas and are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry weather conditions. Exposure to heavy rain may result in discomfort and potential damage.

Can I wash my Chuck Taylor 70s in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash Converse Chuck Taylor 70s. Washing can degrade the adhesives, warp the materials, and damage the overall structure of the shoe. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

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

Chuck 70s are a premium version featuring higher quality canvas, a glossier rubber sole with a vintage look, enhanced cushioning (OrthoLite® insole), and more durable construction. They offer a more retro aesthetic and improved comfort.

How do I care for the 'Dark Root' color?

To maintain the 'Dark Root' color, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, and allow to air dry naturally. Be mindful of potential color transfer when the shoes are new or wet.

What does 'Ox' mean in the product name?

'Ox' typically refers to 'Oxford,' indicating a low-top version of the shoe model, as opposed to a high-top or mid-top version.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Canvas shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Using thicker socks during the break-in phase can also help stretch the material slightly.

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur due to the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and re-inserting it, or place a thin paper towel or powder under the insole.

Color transfer onto socks or lighter clothing

Due to the dyeing process, some color transfer may occur, especially when new or when wet. This is more common with darker colors. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wear and consider wearing darker socks initially.

Sole detaching slightly

For minor separation, a strong adhesive specifically designed for footwear or rubber can be used. For significant detachment, professional repair might be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These sneakers require no setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size before wearing.

Compatibility:

  • Sizing: Converse Chuck Taylor 70s generally run a half to a full size larger than standard US sizing. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the Converse size chart or try them on if possible. This specific model is listed in UK sizing.
  • Style: Highly compatible with a wide range of casual wear, including jeans, shorts, skirts, and casual dresses.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: For minor dirt, use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe the canvas and rubber. For tougher stains, a mixture of mild soap and water can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the shoe's structure and materials.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, which can shrink or warp the material.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and material integrity.
