FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Chuck 70s often run slightly large compared to other athletic brands; some users prefer to size down by a half-size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended, as machine washing can compromise the glue and the shape of the rubber sole.
What material is the upper made from?
The upper is crafted from high-quality, durable cotton canvas.
Do these provide good arch support?
The inclusion of the Ortholite insole offers better support than standard flat-soled sneakers, though they remain minimalist in design.
How do I keep the white rubber clean?
Use a dedicated sneaker cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water applied with a cloth to scrub the rubber parts.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The Chuck 70 generally has a moderate width, but the canvas upper is somewhat flexible, which may accommodate slightly wider feet.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the rubber toe cap
This is a natural characteristic of the materials; ensure your size is correct to minimize excessive flexion.
Dirt marks on the canvas
Use a specialized canvas cleaner and a soft sponge, dabbing gently rather than rubbing vigorously.
Insole losing cushioning
Replace with a new pair of Ortholite or high-density foam insoles if you find the original support degrading after extensive use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Chuck 70 trainers, ensure the fit is snug but comfortable, as canvas tends to hold its shape well over time. Since these are low-tops, they are highly compatible with various sock lengths, from no-show liners to classic crew socks depending on the aesthetic you prefer.
To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the canvas. For the rubber midsole and toe cap, a damp cloth with mild soap is typically sufficient. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the rubber bonding agents and the structural integrity of the canvas.
