FAQs

Are these unisex?

While listed as Men's, the sizing is generally considered unisex. It's recommended to check the size chart and consider how you prefer your fit.

How do I clean the polka dots without smudging?

Use a soft cloth lightly dampened with water and a tiny amount of mild soap. Gently dab the area rather than scrubbing vigorously to avoid smudging the white onto the black canvas.

What is the difference between Chuck 70 and standard Chuck Taylor All-Stars?

The Chuck 70 features higher quality materials, a thicker rubber sole, more cushioning, and a vintage-inspired design compared to the standard Chuck Taylor All-Star.

Are these waterproof?

No, the canvas material is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.

How durable is the polka dot pattern?

The pattern is printed onto the canvas. With proper care and avoiding excessive abrasion, the pattern should remain intact for a considerable time.

What size should I get if I'm usually a UK 8.5?

Converse often runs slightly large. For a UK 8.5, you might consider trying a UK 8 or UK 9, depending on whether you prefer a snugger or looser fit, and check the specific size guide for this model.

Troubleshooting

Stains on the white polka dots or black canvas.

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for canvas, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Squeaking noise when walking.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Ensure the laces are not too tight and that the insoles are properly seated. A small amount of powder under the insole can sometimes help.

Discomfort or rubbing.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the shoes are new, break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods. Consider using thicker socks or adding a cushioned insole if needed.
