FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash Chuck 70s as it can damage the glue and cause the heavy-grade canvas to fade unevenly.

How do these compare to regular Chuck Taylor All Stars?

The 70s model features higher rubber foxing, thicker canvas, better internal cushioning, and a slightly larger toe box.

Do I need to size up or down?

These generally fit true to size, though they offer a bit more room in the toes than standard versions.

Is the black colour prone to fading?

Like all cotton canvas, it may fade slightly over time with heavy sun exposure; avoid storing them in direct sunlight.

Are they suitable for athletic sports?

While originally designed for basketball, this is a lifestyle re-issue and does not provide the support required for modern high-impact sports.

Troubleshooting

Canvas feels too stiff during the first wear

Wear thick socks during the first few uses and ensure the laces are loosened to allow the material to flex naturally.

Rubber parts appearing dull or discoloured

Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water applied with a soft toothbrush to restore the white foxing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior durability due to heavy-grade canvas
  • Improved comfort with premium cushioning
  • Iconic, timeless design that fits many styles
  • Better structural support than standard versions
  • Spacious and comfortable toe box

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for the stiff canvas
  • Heavier feel compared to thinner summer trainers
  • Limited arch support compared to athletic performance footwear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are designed to be worn true to size, though the roomier toe box may allow for an insert if extra arch support is needed. To maintain the appearance of the black canvas, avoid machine washing, which can cause fading. Instead, spot clean the rubber foxing using a damp cloth and mild soap. For the canvas upper, a soft-bristled brush can be used to remove surface dust. Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature fading of the black fabric.
