FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Converse Chuck 70s generally run slightly large. Many users prefer to size down by half a size if they are between sizes.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your Converse shoes, as it can damage the glue and fabric over time.
What is the difference between these and standard All Stars?
The 70s series features a thicker canvas, higher rubber foxing, and a more cushioned footbed for increased comfort and durability.
Is the Parchment colorway white?
No, Parchment is a warm, off-white or light beige shade that gives the shoe a more vintage appearance.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The canvas upper is relatively flexible, but the silhouette is narrow, so those with very wide feet may find them snug.
Troubleshooting
Canvas becoming dirty or discolored
Gently spot clean with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent using a soft sponge.
Rubbing or discomfort on the heel
Ensure the laces are properly adjusted and consider wearing slightly thicker socks until the canvas softens.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK size, keeping in mind that Converse sizing can often run slightly large compared to other athletic brands.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the cotton canvas.
- Spot Treatment: For stains on the fabric, use mild soap and lukewarm water with a cloth; avoid machine washing to preserve the structural integrity of the rubber bonding.
- Rubber Maintenance: Wipe the white rubber foxing with a damp cloth or a melamine sponge to remove scuffs and keep the signature look bright.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent the parchment-colored canvas from fading or yellowing prematurely.
