FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for sports?
The Chuck 70 is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While durable, they do not offer the specialized support or performance features required for most athletic activities.
How do I know if the sizing is correct?
Converse Chuck Taylors, especially the 70s, often run a half to a full size larger than standard US sizing. It's recommended to measure your foot and consult the official Converse sizing chart or read customer reviews for fit guidance.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is strongly advised not to machine wash your Converse Chuck Taylors. Machine washing can damage the adhesive, warp the sole, and degrade the canvas material.
How do I clean the red sole?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a sneaker cleaner. A magic eraser can also be effective for removing scuffs, but use it gently to avoid damaging the rubber.
What is the main difference between Chuck Taylor All Star and Chuck 70?
The Chuck 70 is a premium version of the classic Chuck Taylor All Star. It features a more durable canvas, higher rubber foxing, enhanced cushioning with an OrthoLite® insole, and often a more vintage-inspired design with glossier rubber and metal eyelets.
Is the red sole colorfast?
New rubber soles can sometimes have a slight color transfer. Ensure the soles are clean and dry, and consider a protective treatment if color transfer is a major concern.
What does the CDG PLAY collaboration signify?
This signifies a partnership between Converse and the Japanese fashion label COMME des GARÇONS PLAY, known for its distinctive heart-and-eyes logo, resulting in unique and sought-after iterations of classic Converse models.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear
The canvas and sole may need a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Red sole transferring color to light surfaces
This can happen with new rubber soles. Ensure the sole is clean and dry before wearing on surfaces where color transfer is a concern. A clear sealant specifically designed for rubber soles might help, but test on a small area first.
Canvas appears dingy
Spot clean with a soft brush, mild soap, and cool water. For more significant discoloration, consider a specialized canvas sneaker cleaner. Always allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These sneakers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility:
- Sizing: While listed as UK 13, it is recommended to consult Converse's official sizing chart for precise measurements, as Chuck Taylors can sometimes fit large. Consider trying them on if possible or checking reviews for fit advice.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Canvas: For the Egret canvas upper, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, which can damage the material and adhesive.
- Cleaning the Sole: The red sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser or a specialized sneaker cleaner can be effective.
- Drying: Always air dry. Stuffing shoes with paper can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can degrade the materials.
- Protection: Consider using a fabric protector spray suitable for canvas to help repel water and stains, though test on an inconspicuous area first.
