FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Chuck Taylor 70s are lifestyle trainers and lack the technical cushioning and support required for running.

How do I determine the right size?

These models generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, refer to our sizing guide or measure your foot in millimeters to compare against standard UK size charts.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

Machine washing is generally discouraged as it can weaken the adhesive and damage the canvas. Manual cleaning is safer for the lifespan of the shoe.

Do they provide arch support?

The 70s series offers more support than the base model, but it is considered minimal. You may add custom orthotic insoles if you require significant arch support.

Are they water-resistant?

The canvas material is not water-resistant. It is recommended to treat them with a fabric protector spray if you intend to wear them in light drizzle.

Troubleshooting

Canvas becoming stained

Spot clean using a mixture of mild detergent and warm water, then air dry away from heat sources.

Feeling stiff when new

Wear the shoes for short periods during the first week to allow the canvas and footbed to naturally contour to your feet.

Rubber scuff marks

Use a specialized rubber eraser or a magic sponge to gently buff away black scuffs from the white foxing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction designed for long-term wear
  • Timeless design that pairs effortlessly with most outfits
  • High-quality materials feel more substantial than standard models
  • Classic black and white color scheme maintains a clean look

Cons

  • Slightly heavier than typical lightweight trainers
  • Requires a break-in period for the canvas and rubber to soften
  • Limited arch support compared to performance athletic shoes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers do not require any technical setup. To ensure longevity, keep the following care tips in mind:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the rubber foxing with a damp cloth or a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt. For the canvas uppers, use mild soap and cold water, taking care not to soak the shoe entirely to prevent glue discoloration.
  2. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the canvas color over time.
  3. Compatibility: They are designed to fit true to size for most adults, though it is recommended to verify your UK sizing before purchase. They pair well with denim, chinos, and casual shorts.
