FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Converse Chuck 70s are often recommended to be purchased a half-size down from your usual size, especially if you have narrower feet, as they can run slightly large. It's advisable to try them on if possible or consult a size guide.

How do I clean the polka dot pattern?

Clean the canvas gently with a soft brush or cloth using mild soap and water. Avoid harsh scrubbing on the polka dots. For the rubber sole, a damp cloth or a specialized shoe cleaner can be used.

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

The Chuck 70 features premium materials, a thicker canvas, higher rubber siding, enhanced cushioning (OrthoLite insole), and often a vintage-inspired silhouette, making them more durable and comfortable than standard models.

Is the Comme des Garcons logo durable?

The logo is typically printed or stitched onto the heel. With proper care and avoiding excessive abrasion, the logo should remain intact.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the canvas upper is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material and appearance.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper of this specific model is made of black canvas with a white polka dot pattern.

Troubleshooting

Sizing seems incorrect

Converse Chuck 70s can sometimes run slightly large. Consider trying a half-size down if you are between sizes or have narrower feet. Check a size chart for accurate conversions if ordering internationally.

Discoloration on canvas

For minor marks, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. For stubborn stains, a specialized canvas shoe cleaner may be necessary. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace laces with standard flat shoelaces of a similar length. You can find replacements online or at shoe stores.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These are ready-to-wear sneakers. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility:

This is a fashion sneaker designed for adult wear. It pairs well with a wide range of casual and semi-casual attire.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water to gently clean the canvas and remove dirt. Avoid soaking the shoe.
  • Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: A damp cloth or a soft brush can be used to wipe away dirt and scuffs from the rubber components. For tougher stains, a specialized shoe cleaner can be applied sparingly.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate washing by hand with soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect them from dust and potential damage.
