FAQs
Are these true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing, but because of the roomier toe box and leather construction, some users prefer their usual athletic shoe size.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild leather-safe soap, then wipe dry immediately. Avoid submerging in water.
Are these suitable for sports?
While they feature basketball styling, they are primarily lifestyle trainers and do not provide the performance tech required for modern competitive basketball.
Does the leather stretch?
Like most genuine leather, they will soften and slightly mold to your foot over time, though they will not stretch excessively.
Are these the same as standard Chuck Taylors?
No, the 70s series features higher foxing, thicker canvas or leather, more robust cushioning, and more historically accurate detailing.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff initially.
This is normal for high-quality leather. Wear them for short durations indoors to gradually soften the material to your foot shape.
Rubber foxing showing scuffs.
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with a small amount of non-abrasive cleaner to gently buff away marks.
Creasing at the toe box.
Leather naturally creases with movement. Using a cedar shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Converse All Star 70s stay in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out. For routine care, wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. If the white rubber foxing becomes scuffed, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can help restore the original brightness. Because these are leather, it is recommended to use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. When sizing, note that these trainers are intended to provide a secure fit; ensure your socks are of medium thickness for the best experience during the break-in phase.
