How does the La Brea Lug compare with a Converse Chuck 70?

The SeaVees has a chunkier lug sole, recycled canvas and rubber, and a memory foam insole. The Chuck 70 is lighter, has a flatter sole and a longer track record.

Is the memory foam insole removable?

The insole is a fixed bio-based memory foam layer. It is not sold as a removable insert, so plan on the factory cushioning.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No. SeaVees recommends spot cleaning only, so use a damp cloth and mild soap and let them air dry.

Do they run true to size?

They are listed as men's sizing. Canvas high-tops usually fit close to true, but try your usual sneaker size first.

Are they good for rain or winter?

No. Canvas uppers and cotton lining soak through and offer little insulation. They suit dry, mild weather.

One pair of sneakers. No extra laces or inserts are included.

Our take on the SeaVees La Brea Lug High Top Sneakers

The SeaVees La Brea Lug is a high-top sneaker built on recycled cotton canvas with a chunky recycled rubber lug sole. It leans on a '60s heritage look: shiny silver eyelets, webbing trim and a pull tab at the heel. The breathable bio-based memory foam insole is the comfort story, and the lug bottom adds grip and a heavier, retro profile than a flat canvas high-top. It suits people who want a casual canvas high-top with a bit of tread and a sustainability angle; rivals like Converse Chuck 70 and Vans Sk8-Hi are lighter and more widely proven, but they use less recycled material.
