FAQs
Are these trainers truly waterproof?
The trainers feature a water-repellent silver foil layer on the canvas upper, which helps protect against light moisture. However, they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
How do I maintain the silver shine?
Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the metallic finish. Air dry naturally.
What is the benefit of the OrthoLite® insole?
The OrthoLite® insole is designed to provide enhanced cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties, contributing to superior comfort throughout the day.
Can I wear these in the rain?
The water-repellent feature offers some protection in light rain. For heavy downpours, it's advisable to opt for more waterproof footwear.
How does the sizing compare to standard Converse trainers?
The Chuck 70 series generally runs slightly large. It is recommended to consult a sizing guide or try them on if possible. Many users find going down half a size provides a better fit.
What is the 'high foxing tape'?
High foxing tape is a rubber strip that runs along the side of the shoe, above the sole. It's a classic design element of the Chuck Taylor All Star that adds durability and visual definition.
What does 'limited-edition' mean for this product?
It means this specific design and colorway may only be produced in a finite quantity and may not be restocked once sold out.
Troubleshooting
Discoloration of the silver foil
Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive abrasion. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Protect from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Reduced comfort after initial wear
The OrthoLite® insole may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Squeaking noise during walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components or moisture. Ensure laces are tied correctly and try inserting a powder insert or talcum powder inside the shoe, away from the insole.
Water not repelling effectively
The water-repellent treatment may diminish over time. Consider applying a suitable fabric protector spray designed for footwear, following the product's instructions.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the canvas and silver foil upper, use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently remove dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which can damage the foil finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Allow to air dry naturally.
