FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you have previously owned Chuck 70 models, the sizing remains consistent.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, you should never machine wash leather sneakers as it can damage the material and the adhesive.
Is the leather water-resistant?
While leather provides better protection than canvas, it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain and treat with a leather protector if needed.
How do I keep the white rubber clean?
Regularly wipe the rubber foxing with a damp cloth or a dedicated sneaker cleaner after wearing.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Like most genuine leather products, these will slightly mold to your feet over time, becoming more comfortable with repeated wear.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff or tight upon first wear
Wear thick socks during the first few uses to help stretch the material naturally and protect your heels while the leather breaks in.
Scuff marks on the rubber foxing
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently scrub the rubber edges until the scuffs are removed.
Leather looks dull or loses its luster
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to moisturize the material and restore its original shine.
