FAQs
Are these suitable for machine washing?
No, machine washing can damage the suede upper. Stick to manual surface cleaning with a suede brush.
Does the size UK 5 fit true to size?
Yes, the Chuck 70 line generally fits true to size, but the roomier toe box may feel more spacious than standard canvas All-Stars.
Can these be worn in the rain?
It is recommended to avoid wearing suede trainers in the rain, as water can leave permanent spots on the material.
How do I maintain the grey color?
Keep them out of direct sunlight for long periods, as UV rays can cause the grey pigment to lighten over time.
What is the main difference between these and regular Chucks?
The Chuck 70 features premium suede, higher rubber foxing, and improved interior cushioning for better comfort.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or flat
Use a suede brush to lift the nap of the material, restoring its original texture.
Water spots on the suede
Allow the shoes to dry naturally at room temperature, then brush the area lightly with a dry suede brush.
Rubber foxing is scuffed
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild dish soap to gently scrub the rubber sidewalls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Converse Chuck 70 trainers last as long as possible, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to protect against light spills.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dry dirt or surface dust. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser rather than water or soap.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the grey color of the suede over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size. If pairing with socks, a mid-weight cotton sock provides the most comfortable fit within the roomier toe box.
