FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Converse Chuck 70 generally fits similarly to standard adult trainer sizing, though some users prefer a half-size down if they enjoy a very snug fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never machine wash leather trainers as it can damage the material and the adhesive construction.
How do I protect the leather?
We recommend using a water-repellent leather spray specifically formulated for sneakers to protect against stains and moisture.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
While the Chuck 70 has a relatively standard width, the leather material will stretch and mold to your foot over time.
What is the primary material used?
This version of the Chuck 70 features a premium leather upper.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the Converse Chuck 70 series is designed for universal wear across genders.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
Wear the trainers for short periods indoors to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Creasing at the toe box
This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shape and reduce permanent creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are lace-up trainers, ensure you have correctly adjusted the lacing tension across the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling during the day. For care, use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. If the leather becomes soiled, use a damp cloth and mild leather-safe cleaner, ensuring you avoid excessive water exposure. It is highly recommended to use a leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking, especially in dry climates. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain the integrity of the material.
