FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Converse Chuck 70s generally run about a half to a full size larger than standard athletic shoes. It is recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the canvas upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining.

How do I clean the red canvas?

Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water. Gently scrub the affected area and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.

Is the Comme des Garçons PLAY logo durable?

The logo is typically printed or stitched with durable materials designed for footwear, but it can fade or wear with excessive abrasion or improper cleaning.

Can these be worn by anyone regardless of gender?

Yes, these are unisex high-top sneakers designed for adult wear and can be styled by anyone.

What makes the Chuck 70 different from a standard Chuck Taylor All Star?

The Chuck 70 features premium materials, enhanced cushioning (like a thicker insole), a more durable canvas, higher rubber foxing, and often comes in more curated colorways and collaborations, including this one.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole. Try inserting a thin sock liner or talcum powder under the insole.

Color transfer from socks or other materials

Ensure socks are colorfast. For potential transfer onto the shoe, clean immediately with a damp cloth. For transfer onto fabric, consult specialized shoe cleaning guides.

Laces fraying

Replace laces if they become significantly frayed. Consider using higher-quality replacement laces.
