FAQs

How do these differ from the standard Chuck Taylor All Star?

The 70s series features higher rubber foxing, a thicker internal cushioned footbed, and a slightly wider, more ergonomic toe box.

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash these as the high-heat agitation and soap can damage the glue and fabric pattern; spot cleaning is best.

Does the floral pattern fade?

Like any dyed cotton fabric, extended exposure to intense sunlight can eventually cause fading, so store them in a shaded area.

What gender are these shoes designed for?

These are unisex trainers, designed to fit both men and women based on the UK sizing scale.

Should I wear socks with these?

Yes, wearing thin, moisture-wicking socks is recommended to prevent friction and keep the internal fabric fresh.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Since the 70s model has a roomier toe box, we recommend trying them on with the type of socks you intend to wear daily to find your perfect size.

Troubleshooting

The rubber foxing is becoming scuffed.

Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a melamine foam sponge to gently buff away black scuffs without damaging the texture.

The cotton material is absorbing dirt or rain.

Apply a breathable textile-safe water repellent spray to create a protective barrier against external elements.

Footbed feels less comfortable after heavy use.

Remove the insole and allow it to air out for 24 hours to restore the cushioning properties, or replace with a thin athletic insert.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior underfoot cushioning compared to standard All Stars
  • Durable, higher-profile rubber foxing for longevity
  • Iconic vintage style with a modern, comfortable fit
  • Breathable cotton construction for daily wear

Cons

  • Cotton material is susceptible to staining
  • The 70s fit runs slightly larger than modern standard Converse
  • Light-colored sections may require frequent cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these trainers feature a classic cotton upper, you should consider applying a water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to protect the floral pattern. If they get dirty, spot clean the cotton using a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, avoiding aggressive scrubbing which could fade the pattern. For the rubber portions, use a magic eraser or a damp cloth to remove scuffs and restore the crisp white look. Store these shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading over time. Ensure you check your sizing against the UK 4.5 measurement, as the '70s model often has a slightly more generous cut than newer, streamlined versions.
