FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Converse Chuck 70s generally run slightly large compared to standard sneaker sizing; many users prefer to go down half a size.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes as it can damage the adhesive and cause the canvas to lose its shape.
What is the difference between these and standard All Stars?
The 70s line features heavier-grade canvas, higher rubber foxing, and improved cushioning for a more premium build.
Are these trainers unisex?
Yes, the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 70 Hi is a unisex design suitable for all adults.
How do I maintain the Parchment colour?
Keep them clean by removing dust regularly and avoid wearing them in muddy or wet conditions to maintain the light beige tone.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty putting on the shoe due to stiffness
Loosen the laces down to the second or third eyelet to open the tongue wide before inserting your foot.
Canvas has developed light surface stains
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a soft-bristled brush with warm water and mild detergent to gently scrub the affected area.
Feeling discomfort at the heel
Ensure your socks are thick enough to provide a buffer during the break-in phase, or use heel grips until the canvas softens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are lace-up trainers, you should ensure a secure fit by adjusting the laces along the entire length of the eyelets to match your foot's width. For long-term care, it is recommended to treat the canvas with a water-resistant spray before first use to protect against minor spills and dirt. If the shoes become dirty, spot-clean them with a soft brush and mild soap; avoid machine washing to maintain the structural integrity of the rubber sole and canvas bonding. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the parchment-toned canvas from discolouring over time.
