FAQs
Do the Chuck 70s run true to size?
Many users find that Converse Chuck 70s run slightly large. It is often recommended to order half a size down from your usual size, but trying them on is the best way to ensure a correct fit.
Are these suitable for athletic performance?
While the Chuck 70 has basketball roots, the Vintage Canvas model is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer comfort and style but are not optimized for high-impact sports.
How do I clean the rubber parts of the shoe?
The rubber sole and foxing tape can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For scuff marks, a magic eraser or a specialized rubber cleaner can be used carefully.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The canvas upper is not waterproof, so these are best worn in dry conditions. While they can withstand light moisture, prolonged exposure to rain may lead to discomfort and potential damage.
What is the main difference between Chuck 70 and standard Chuck Taylor All-Stars?
The Chuck 70 typically features a higher quality canvas, a thicker rubber sole with higher foxing, more cushioning via an OrthoLite® insole, and vintage details like glossier rubber and higher stitching.
What does 'Vintage Canvas' refer to?
'Vintage Canvas' refers to the use of a higher-grade, heavier canvas material that mimics the original Chuck 70s from the 1970s, offering a more premium feel and appearance compared to standard models.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with medium-weight socks for a short period to allow the canvas to stretch slightly, or consider loosening the laces.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or place a small piece of paper towel under the insole.
Discoloration on canvas
For light discoloration, try gently cleaning with a damp cloth. For more significant stains, use a specialized canvas cleaner or a mild soap and water solution, followed by air drying.
Laces fraying
Replace the laces with standard flat shoelaces. Converse offers replacement laces, or any similar style will suffice.
