The Converse Chuck 70s A05348C De Luxe Heel takes the classic Chuck Taylor All Star silhouette and reworks it into a high-top ankle boot with real presence. Built in off-white canvas with a twill weave texture and rows of neat topstitching across the vamp, quarter panels and heel counter, it keeps the heritage look intact while adding a chunky lugged platform sole and a raised block heel for extra height. The heel itself is finished in a two-tone effect, off-white at the top fading to a dark gum brown at the base, echoing the gum rubber outsole beneath.
All the details that make a Chuck Taylor instantly recognisable are here: the rubber toe cap, the wraparound foxing strip, and the round tongue patch with the classic Converse All Star star motif, joined by a smaller heel-counter label for good measure. Seven pairs of metal eyelets carry flat woven laces in a matching off-white tone, and a fabric pull tab at the back makes it easy to get on and off. The lugged outsole and ridged platform midsole are built with grip and durability in mind, giving this boot a sturdier, more grounded feel underfoot than a standard trainer.
This is a smart pick for anyone who loves the Chuck Taylor look but wants something with a bit more height and structure - it works just as well with jeans and a jumper as it does dressed up with a skirt or dress. Compared with the standard Chuck 70 high-top, the De Luxe Heel offers a bolder, more fashion-forward take while still trading on the same durable canvas construction and recognisable Converse branding that has made the range a wardrobe staple for decades.
