Verdict

The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star '70 is a solid performer — a heritage elevated scoring 80/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 390g, it is on the heavier side for a heritage elevated. The 16mm heel stack — a minimal stack — delivers a firm ride at 50 HC, returning 32% of impact energy and feeling cushion-focused rather than reactive underfoot. Geometrically, the Chuck Taylor All Star '70 runs on a near-zero 2mm drop built for natural gait and forefoot-first runners, with a 14mm forefoot stack that creates a naturally ground-hugging feel. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 100mm — extra-wide, suited to broad or bunion-prone feet — and the upper comes in a standard width. True to size. Wider fit than standard Chuck. Premium canvas. It is designed for style, heritage, premium casual, wide toe box lovers, and performs less well for long walks or running.
