FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash Converse trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive and shape of the shoe.
Does the 70s model fit the same as standard Chucks?
The All Star 70s model features a roomier toe box and extra cushioning, so the fit may feel slightly different and more structured than the modern standard Chuck Taylor.
What materials are these sneakers made from?
The upper is constructed from heavy-grade cotton canvas, with a high-quality rubber sole and foxing.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The roomier toe box design makes these generally more accommodating for various foot shapes, though individual fit may vary.
How do I maintain the vibrant red colour?
Avoid prolonged exposure to intense sunlight and use only gentle, neutral cleaners to prevent pigment degradation.
What does the 70s designation mean?
It refers to the design specifications inspired by the original 1970s basketball shoes, including higher foxing and enhanced comfort materials.
Troubleshooting
Canvas becoming dirty after outdoor play
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud, then wipe with a lightly dampened cloth.
Laces becoming frayed or damaged
Replace with standard cotton athletic laces of the same length to maintain the classic aesthetic.
White rubber foxing showing scuffs
A simple melamine sponge (magic eraser) works well to gently remove surface scuffs from the rubber sidewalls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Converse All Star 70s remain in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently spot-clean the canvas. Avoid submerging the shoes fully in water.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place them in a tumble dryer or directly against high-heat sources like radiators, as this may damage the rubber and canvas.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the red pigment from fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit standard UK 3.5 youth sizing. If you are transitioning from different brands, consider measuring the child's foot length to ensure the roomier toe box provides the intended support.
