FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the durable 18oz cotton twill upper makes them suitable for everyday casual wear. However, their unique design elements mean they are best suited for individuals who want to make a style statement.

How do I clean the distorted rubber midsole?

Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher marks or scuffs, a magic eraser or a specialized rubber shoe cleaner can be used carefully. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is made from a robust 18oz cotton twill.

Does the elongated tongue affect comfort?

The elongated tongue is a design feature. For most users, it should not significantly impact comfort, but it is a prominent element that contributes to the shoe's distinctive look. Ensure it lies flat for the best experience.

What does 'DRKSTAR' signify?

DRKSTAR is a series designation, often used in collaborations, indicating a specific design interpretation, in this case, a collaboration with Rick Owens.

Are there other colorways available for this model?

This specific listing is for the 'Black' colorway. Other variants within the broader Rick Owens x Converse collaborations may exist, but this guide focuses on the black DRKSTAR Chuck 70 Low.

What UK size is this product listing for?

Troubleshooting

Material feels stiff initially

This is common with the 18oz cotton twill. Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in gradually. The material will soften with use.

Discoloration on rubber midsole

Minor scuffs can often be removed with a magic eraser or a specialized shoe cleaner. For yellowing, ensure proper storage away from UV light.

Laces are difficult to keep tied

The unique material of the laces might cause them to be slippery. Try a double knot or consider replacing them with a different type of lace if this is a persistent issue.

Uneven wear on the distorted sole

The distorted sole is a design feature. Inspect for actual damage; minor imperfections in the molding are part of the aesthetic. If significant wear or damage occurs, consult care instructions for potential cleaning or repair advice.

  4. Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage or warping.
