Use a magic eraser or a damp sponge with a gentle cleaner to wipe the rubber midsole surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Converse Chuck 70s last, it is recommended to apply a protective fabric spray before initial wear to repel moisture and dirt. For cleaning, hand wash the canvas with a mild soap and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding abrasive chemicals that might damage the graphic details. Let the shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Because these are UK size 12.5, ensure your socks are of medium thickness to maintain a snug, comfortable fit without restricting circulation.
