FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Converse Chuck 70s generally have a generous fit. If you are between sizes, many users prefer to size down by half a size.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No. Excessive heat can damage the rubber foxing and cause the canvas material to warp or shrink.
What is the difference between the standard All Star and the 70s series?
The 70s series features slightly thicker canvas, a higher gloss on the rubber sole, and a more cushioned footbed compared to the standard model.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The silhouette is relatively slim, but the cotton canvas does offer some natural stretch to accommodate various foot widths over time.
How do I keep the white rubber toe cap clean?
Use a magic eraser sponge or a mixture of baking soda and water on a soft cloth to gently buff away scuffs on the rubber.
Troubleshooting
Canvas becoming stained or dusty
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spot cleaning.
Foot discomfort during long walks
Consider adding an aftermarket orthotic insole to provide the arch support absent in the flat factory design.
Laces becoming frayed or dirty
Replace standard laces with standard cotton or synthetic replacements; they are easily removed and washable.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Converse Chuck 70s last, it is recommended to treat the canvas with a fabric protector spray before initial wear to guard against dust and light stains. For cleaning, spot clean the cotton upper using a soft cloth, mild soap, and cold water; avoid using a washing machine, as this can degrade the glue and structural integrity of the rubber sole. If the shoes become damp, air dry them naturally at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the canvas from shrinking or cracking.
