FAQs

Are Converse Chuck Taylor 70s true to size?

Converse Chuck Taylors, including the 70s model, are often noted to run slightly large. It is recommended to measure your foot and consult a size chart or try them on if possible. Some suggest ordering a half size down from your usual.

Can I wear these shoes in the rain?

The canvas upper is not waterproof. While they can withstand light moisture, heavy rain is not recommended. The rubber sole offers some protection, but prolonged exposure to wet conditions may lead to discomfort and damage to the canvas.

How do I clean the rubber parts of the shoe?

The rubber toe cap and sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For scuffs, a magic eraser or a paste of baking soda and water can be effective. Ensure to wipe clean with a damp cloth afterwards.

What is the difference between Chuck Taylor All-Stars and Chuck 70s?

The Chuck 70s are a premium version of the classic Chuck Taylor All-Star. They typically feature a heavier canvas, vintage detailing like higher rubber siding and glossier finish, and a more cushioned insole for improved comfort compared to the standard All-Star.

What is the 'Dark Root' color?

Dark Root is a deep, earthy brown color. The 'Egret' refers to the off-white color of the sole and laces, and 'Black' is used for accents and branding elements.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?

These shoes are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for high-impact athletic activities like running or basketball.

How should I store my Converse shoes?

Store your Converse shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or a breathable shoe bag can help maintain their shape and protect them from dust.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system. For tightness, loosen the laces; for looseness, tighten them. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider trying a different size.

Discoloration on canvas

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn stains, specialized canvas shoe cleaners may be used, following product instructions.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Try inserting a thin insert or ensuring the insole is properly seated. Moisture inside the shoe can also cause this; ensure they are dry.

Color transfer from shoes to socks

This is more common with darker dyed fabrics. Washing the shoes separately or using color-catching sheets during washing (if applicable) might help. The color transfer usually reduces with wear and cleaning.
