FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made from a durable 18oz cotton twill.

How do I clean the unique distorted midsole?

The rubber parts of the midsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used carefully.

Is the elongated tongue comfortable?

The elongated tongue is a design feature. Comfort may vary based on personal preference. It is designed to lay flat or can be styled intentionally.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?

These are fashion-oriented sneakers designed for casual wear and style, not for rigorous athletic performance.

How does the sizing run for this model?

Converse Chuck 70 models generally run about a half size large. It is recommended to check sizing guides or try them on if possible.

What is the significance of the 'DRKSTAR' model?

DRKSTAR is a collaborative model between Rick Owens and Converse, featuring distinctive design elements like the distorted midsole and elongated tongue.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe. Hand-cleaning is advised.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels stiff initially

The 18oz cotton twill may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to mold to your feet.

Discoloration on rubber sole

Minor scuffs on the rubber can often be cleaned with a damp cloth or a specialized rubber cleaner. For tougher marks, try a magic eraser gently.

White stitching fraying

Address any minor fraying carefully with small scissors. If significant, contact customer support if under warranty.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size before purchasing.

Compatibility: The DRKSTAR Chuck 70 Low is designed for adult casual wear. It pairs well with a wide range of clothing styles, from streetwear to more fashion-forward outfits.

Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of your shoes:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains on the cotton twill, use a mild soap and water solution with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Midsole and Toe Cap: Clean rubber parts with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks on the rubber, a magic eraser can be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand or in a laundry bag.
  4. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to prevent dust accumulation and maintain shape.
