FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adult trainers.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash Chuck Taylor 70s, as it can damage the materials and glue.

Do these have arch support?

They feature standard flat-sole construction with basic internal cushioning rather than advanced ergonomic arch support.

What is the difference between these and regular Chuck Taylors?

The 70s series usually features slightly thicker canvas, a higher rubber foxing, and improved cushioning compared to standard base models.

Can I use these for sports?

While they were originally basketball shoes, they lack the modern stability and impact protection required for contemporary athletic performance.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff after purchase

Wear them indoors for a few hours at a time to allow the canvas to soften and mold to your foot shape.

Rubber midsole discoloration

Gently wipe the rubber sides with a soft cloth dipped in warm water and a tiny amount of mild detergent.

Difficulty putting them on

Loosen the laces significantly from the eyelets closest to the toe to provide more room for entry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Chuck Taylor 70s last, it is important to follow basic care guidelines. Out of the box, the canvas may feel firm; wearing them for short periods will help them conform to your feet.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Spot clean the canvas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water as this can affect the rubber adhesive.
  • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
  • Lacing: Adjust the laces to accommodate your preferred tightness, as the high-top or low-top design can be tailored for better lockdown.
