FAQs
Are the Converse Chuck 70 true to size?
Converse Chuck 70s are often described as running slightly large. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consult a size chart. Many users go down half a size.
How do I clean the grey canvas?
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild detergent and water. Gently scrub the canvas. Wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While the canvas can offer some protection, they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain, as the canvas will absorb moisture. The rubber sole may also become slippery when wet.
What is the difference between Chuck Taylors and Chuck 70s?
The Chuck 70 is a premium version of the classic Chuck Taylor All-Star. It features higher quality materials, enhanced cushioning (like an OrthoLite insole), glossier rubber, and vintage-inspired details.
How long does the break-in period usually last?
The break-in period can vary, but typically lasts for a few wears. You might experience some stiffness initially, which should resolve as the shoe molds to your foot.
What kind of socks should I wear with high-top trainers?
No-show socks are popular for a cleaner look, but crew socks or ankle socks also work well and can add to the style. Consider the intended outfit and comfort level.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system to tighten or loosen the fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider if a break-in period is needed or if an exchange for a different size is necessary.
Discoloration on canvas or rubber
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the affected area. For the rubber sole, a magic eraser can sometimes be effective for scuffs.
Creasing on the upper
Creasing is a natural part of wear for canvas shoes. To minimize severe creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
