FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Chuck Taylor 70s typically run slightly larger than modern sneakers. If you are between sizes, many users prefer to size down half a size.

Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?

No. The leather upper and adhesive construction can be damaged by water submersion and heat. Stick to manual surface cleaning.

How does the 70s model differ from the standard All Star?

The 70s model includes premium leather, higher rubber foxing, enhanced internal cushioning, and a slightly wider, more ergonomic toe box.

Is the leather water-resistant?

While leather is more resistant to light splashes than canvas, it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain and let them air dry naturally if they get wet.

What is the best way to store them?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or the colors from fading.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels too stiff after initial wear

Use a leather conditioner to soften the fibers and wear them for short intervals until the material conforms to your foot shape.

Scuff marks on the white rubber foxing

Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a mixture of baking soda and water applied with a soft toothbrush to gently lift stains.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Premium leather construction is more durable and easier to clean than canvas
  • Improved arch support and cushioning for all-day comfort
  • Iconic aesthetic that pairs well with both casual and smart-casual outfits
  • Robust construction ensures a long product lifespan

Cons

  • Leather material is naturally stiffer and requires a brief break-in phase
  • Limited ventilation compared to lightweight fabric alternatives
  • The distinctive 70s cut runs slightly larger than modern standard Converse

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK size, noting that the Chuck 70s often feel slightly more spacious than other performance sneakers. To break them in, wear them with medium-weight socks for the first few outings to allow the leather to flex.

Care instructions are straightforward: use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt from the leather. For the rubber foxing, a soft brush with mild soap can remove scuffs. Avoid placing these in a washing machine, as the high-quality leather and structural adhesives are not designed for full submersion. Regularly use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
