FAQs

Are the Converse All Star Hi 70s suitable for sports?

No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They are inspired by vintage basketball styles but do not offer the performance features of modern athletic footwear.

How do the sizing of the '70s Chuck 70s compare to standard Chuck Taylors?

The '70s Chuck 70s generally feature a roomier toe box and slightly different overall fit compared to classic Chuck Taylors. It is recommended to consult the sizing chart or try them on if possible.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash Converse All Star Hi 70s trainers, as this can damage the materials and construction. Spot cleaning with mild soap and water is the preferred method.

What does 'higher rubber foxing' mean?

Higher rubber foxing refers to the rubber strip that wraps around the side of the shoe between the sole and the canvas upper. In the '70s models, this strip is taller, providing increased durability and a distinctive vintage aesthetic.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the canvas and rubber construction of these trainers are not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the material.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is made from heavy-grade canvas, providing durability and a classic look.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or narrow.

The '70s Chuck 70s feature a roomier toe box than some other Converse models. If still too tight, try wearing them with thinner socks or breaking them in with gradual wear over a few days.

Canvas material appears dirty or stained.

Gently clean the canvas with a soft brush and a mild soap and water mixture. Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized shoe cleaner designed for canvas can be used. Always allow to air dry.

Laces are fraying or dirty.

Replace laces with new ones of a similar style. Laces can typically be hand-washed separately with mild detergent and air-dried.

Rubber sole is scuffed.

Minor scuffs on the rubber foxing can often be removed using a magic eraser or a non-gel white toothpaste applied with a cloth, followed by wiping with a damp cloth.
