FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can damage the specialized textured upper and the vulcanized rubber.

Do they fit the same as standard Chuck Taylors?

The '70s model is slightly more substantial and features a roomier toe box, but generally fits true to your standard size.

Is the sole comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, they feature upgraded cushioning that provides significantly more support than the standard All Star line.

How do I clean the canvas?

Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent and gently dab the canvas. Allow them to air dry away from heat sources.

What does 'higher rubber foxing' mean?

It refers to the thicker strip of rubber that wraps around the base of the shoe, providing a more authentic retro look and increased durability.

Troubleshooting

Stiffness when new

Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors for a few days to allow the heavy-grade canvas to soften and mold to your foot shape.

Surface scuffs on rubber

Use a white pencil eraser or a melamine foam sponge to gently rub away marks on the rubber foxing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable heavy-grade canvas construction
  • Improved arch support and cushioning over classic models
  • Timeless vintage aesthetic
  • Higher foxing offers better water protection during light rain

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for the heavy canvas
  • Heavier than standard lightweight casual trainers
  • Limited to specific aesthetic preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers fit true to size for most adults, though those preferring a wider fit may enjoy the roomier toe box. To maintain the textured silver canvas, spot-clean with a soft brush and mild soap; avoid machine washing to preserve the integrity of the textured upper. To prevent the rubber foxing from yellowing, keep the shoes away from prolonged direct sunlight when stored.
