FAQs

Are Converse Chuck 70 Hi Trainers true to size?

Many find Chuck 70s to run slightly larger than other shoe brands. We recommend trying your usual size first, or potentially sizing down by half a size if you prefer a snug fit. Consult the Converse size guide for detailed measurements.

How do I clean the canvas part of my trainers?

Gently brush off loose dirt. Mix mild soap with lukewarm water, then use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub stained areas. Avoid harsh chemicals. Rinse with a damp cloth and air dry away from direct heat.

Can I machine wash my Chuck 70s?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the canvas, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers. Hand cleaning is always the best method to preserve their quality.

What is the OrthoLite insole?

OrthoLite is an open-cell foam technology used in insoles that provides long-term cushioning, high-level breathability, and moisture management, contributing to enhanced comfort inside the shoe.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the canvas material is not inherently waterproof. While they can withstand light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water is not recommended and can cause damage or discomfort.

What's the main difference between Chuck 70s and classic Chuck Taylor All Stars?

Chuck 70s are a modernized reissue of the original 1970s design, featuring enhanced construction. Key differences include thicker canvas, a glossier, taller rubber sidewall, extra cushioning (OrthoLite insole), and more durable stitching, offering a more premium feel and improved comfort.

Do they offer good ankle support?

Yes, the Chuck 70 Hi features a taller rubber-backed sidewall and a high-top design that provides increased ankle support compared to low-top trainers, enhancing stability during wear.

Troubleshooting

My trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Converse canvas trainers often require a brief break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow the canvas to soften and mold to your feet. Ensure your laces are adjusted for a comfortable, non-constricting fit.

The canvas is getting dirty easily.

To protect the canvas, consider applying a water and stain repellent spray designed for fabric footwear before the first wear. For existing dirt, follow the cleaning instructions in the 'Care' section using mild soap and gentle scrubbing.

My feet feel warm or sweaty.

While canvas is breathable, wearing moisture-wicking socks can significantly improve comfort and reduce sweat buildup. Ensure the shoes are not laced too tightly, which can restrict airflow.

The egret midsole or toe cap has scuff marks.

For rubber scuffs, a 'magic eraser' sponge or a mild abrasive cleaner (like toothpaste) applied with a soft cloth can often remove marks effectively. Wipe clean with a damp cloth afterwards.

Gently scrub the stained area in small circular motions. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the canvas and color.2. Cleaning the Rubber Sole: Use a damp cloth and mild soap, or a dedicated shoe cleaner, to wipe down the rubber sidewall and toe cap. A magic eraser can also be effective for scuffs.3.

Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the shoe's structure, adhesives, and canvas material. Hand cleaning is always recommended.
