Detailed Sizing Information
The Chuck 70 is a premium, slightly more structured version of the original Chuck Taylor, with a thicker sole, an arch support insole, and heavier canvas. This added structure trims some of the roominess that makes the classic Chuck Taylor run large, bringing the fit much closer to true to size.
Sizing Recommendations by Foot Type
- Wide Feet: True to size usually works well thanks to the slightly roomier toe box.
- Narrow Feet: Some may still prefer going down half a size for a closer fit.
- Normal Feet: True to size is usually the best option.
