Product Information

Full details

The Converse All Star 70 Trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of vintage basketball aesthetics and modern comfort. These shoes serve as an elevated re-crafting of the classic Chuck Taylor design, offering superior durability and a refined fit for daily wear; however, users should note that the heavy-grade canvas requires a short break-in period compared to lighter contemporary sneakers.

FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though the roomier toe box may feel different than standard narrow trainers.

Can I use these for sports?

While they are based on a 1970s basketball shoe, they are currently intended for lifestyle and casual wear rather than modern high-intensity athletics.

How do I clean the grey canvas?

Spot clean with a mixture of water and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from heat sources.

Does the shoe provide good arch support?

The All Star 70 features improved cushioning compared to the standard model, offering better support for casual daily walking.

What does the 'higher rubber foxing' mean?

It refers to the thicker layer of rubber wrapping around the side of the shoe, which provides better durability and a retro aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Stiff feel when first wearing

Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the heavy-grade canvas to soften and mold to your foot shape.

Dirt on the white foxing/midsole

Use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth with mild detergent to gently scrub the rubber surface until clean.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior durability due to heavy-grade canvas construction
  • Improved arch support and cushioning over standard models
  • Timeless design suitable for various casual outfits
  • Increased stability provided by higher rubber foxing

Cons

  • Canvas material can feel stiff during the first few wears
  • Heavier weight compared to minimalist modern trainers
  • Limited ventilation compared to mesh-based athletic shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you first receive your pair, ensure the fit is snug across the midfoot while allowing natural toe movement in the roomier box. For maintenance, avoid machine washing the canvas, as this can degrade the rubber bond. Instead, spot clean using a soft-bristled brush and mild soap. If the white rubber sidewalls become scuffed, a gentle wipe with a damp cloth or a magic eraser will restore their appearance. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey canvas from fading over time.
