FAQs

Are the Converse Chuck 70 High 'Rush Blue' suitable for wide feet?

The Converse Chuck 70 generally has a standard width. If you have very wide feet, they might feel snug, especially during the break-in period. Some users find that loosening the laces significantly can help accommodate wider feet.

How do I clean the leather parts of the shoe?

Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to wipe the leather areas. For tougher marks, a leather cleaner specifically designed for sneakers can be used. Always ensure the leather is conditioned afterwards if using strong cleaners.

What is the main difference between Chuck 70 and standard Chuck Taylor All-Stars?

The Chuck 70 features higher quality materials, enhanced cushioning (like an OrthoLite insole), a more durable canvas, glossier rubber on the sole and toe cap, and often a vintage-inspired design with details like metal eyelets.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, the canvas upper is not waterproof. They are not ideal for heavy rain or wet conditions, as the canvas can absorb water and take time to dry.

What is the 'Rush Blue' color like?

'Rush Blue' is a vibrant, deep blue color that makes a statement. It's a classic yet bold shade that adds personality to the iconic Chuck 70 silhouette.

Do these shoes offer good arch support?

The Chuck 70 has a cushioned insole but is not specifically designed for high arch support. Individuals requiring significant arch support may benefit from using aftermarket insoles.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels slightly off.

The Chuck 70 can sometimes run a bit large. Consider trying a half size down if you are between sizes or have narrower feet. A thicker sock can also help if they feel slightly loose.

Canvas gets dirty easily.

Regularly clean the canvas with a soft brush and a mild soap-and-water solution. For tougher stains, consider a dedicated shoe cleaner for canvas materials. Apply a protective spray to help repel dirt and stains.

Laces fray or break.

Replace worn laces with standard shoelaces. You can find replacements in similar colors or opt for a contrasting color for a new look.
