The Jack Purcell's arguably look a little goofier than the Chuck Taylors I've worn for years, but I agree with the reviewers who say they are more comfortable. Also, I found my size 11 Purcell's to be the SAME SIZE as my size 11 Chuck Taylors, so if you have Chucks, I'd recommend ordering the same size. (Note, however, that I wear 11.5 in Nike, Saucony, and Adidas; so based on my limited experience, order Converse canvas shoes a half-size down.)

These are great shoes. The arch support is great and they are very comfortable for walking. The only design flaw is the heel, which rubs. However, I found that with the addition of a small gel pad inside the heel (the kind made for dress shoes) this problem is taken care of. I wear these shoes all the time and will consider buying another pair when/if these wear out.

I bought a pair of Converse low top - white monochrome leather sneakers about 2 months ago. When I received them, they were fine. After wearing the sneakers 2 times (very lightly), I noticed that the side of the sneakers (between the rubber and leather) had started to come off. Now, it has been about 2 months since I had purchased these and had worn them about 10 times, I can no longer wear them because people might think I wear shoes with holes in them which is really the case. I have worn Converse for about 20 years, and this was the first time that I was let down. Maybe I got a bad one, but nevertheless, it was a big letdown and a big waste of money for me.

This is a great shoe. Lightweight, comfy, and fun to wear. Great with jeans, comfy pants, etc. I did order a half size smaller than I normally get based on the views I read. I would definitely recommend these shoes!

I'm really into boots and Converse High-Tops for the ankle support and general comfort. These are the most comfortable boots I've ever worn. They lace up snugly and look great with long pants outside the boots or tucked in, and with the Safari Shorts I like to wear when the weather here is warmer. I was immediately taken by the look, but find myself doing yard work in the boots, which have a sturdy sole for using a shovel, and great protection from thorny rose bushes. They're very stylish and I get some admiring comments but it’s the comfort and sturdiness I've come to appreciate even more than the great looks. Worth every penny!

I would like to begin by saying the Zappos delivery was very fast and the packaging was excellent. Now, about these shoes...they're simply great. The look and the feel are terrific. People always ask me where I got them (in full leather they're kind of rare). Unlike the Chuck Taylor All Stars shoes, which look very good but don't feel very good, these Jack Purcell's have a thick insole that gives exceptional support and comfort. I found the shoes to be true to size - unlike the All Stars in which you always have to go down a half to full size.

I got these in a size 10 to replace a size 9.5 pair of Chuck Taylors. I definitely got the right size - the Purcell's in 10 are almost exactly the same size as Chucks in 9.5. So, if anyone is replacing a pair of Chucks with these, try a half size up. They are far more comfortable than Chucks, and don't seem to have any break-in period. They seem better made and more substantial than Chucks as well. Unfortunately, they are kind of ugly-looking from certain angles. Chucks are just a cleaner, more streamlined, more classic style. But I just can't put my feet through that kind of abuse anymore, so Purcell's are the way to go.

These are incredibly uncomfortable shoes!! They are so tight and narrow. I thought since they're men’s shoes they would be wider, no they're super narrow! I wore these in Portland, OR to walk around downtown and had blisters after 15 minutes. Unless you have really narrow (and I mean REALLY narrow) feet, don't bother with these.

Fairly comfortable shoe, but be prepared, this shoe will stretch. A LOT. I thought they ran really small and kept exchanging for a larger pair. Now the pair I have, which is 1/2 size larger than what I normally wear, is really, really loose. While my big toe still presses up against the front of the shoe, my feet are still on the verge of slipping out. I have wider feet as well, but they stretched out past this. Every time I tighten up the laces to make up for the slack, the shoes are loose again by the end of the day.

I LOVE these shoes! I've had them for about a year now, and wear them almost everyday. When I first bought them, they really bothered my heels- I had to wear bandaids every time I wore them. After about a month, the heels had stretched out. I wouldn't advise you to wear these shoes on vacation, unless you buy some insoles. Otherwise, you can easily wear these for an entire day. Converse needs to make more colors! I still have these adorable shoes and still get comments on them to this day. These Mary Jane Converse shoes are worth the money!

I have worn many pairs and types of boots while I was in the MARINE CORPS and then as a construction worker and these are by far the best pair of boots I ever had on my feet. I wear them in place of my sneakers now. The only thing that worries me is when I find a product I like this much, they stop making it! The only thing I can say about these boots that I might change is that they have the eye holes all the way up for lacing and not the speed hooks at the top.

Perfect casual shoes!!! I am an athlete/tomboy who mostly lives in flip flops and sneakers when not at work. I normally wear Asics Tiger Onitsukas, Pumas, or Adidas but saw this pair on someone and thought they were really cute. I got them Friday afternoon and wore them to a party/bbq that night and was totally comfortable all night (until almost 3am on my feet the entire time). Definitely recommend these! I wish they had them in red! I got them in a woman's 7 (I am normally a 7.5).

These Make Me Look Cool Even Though I Am Over 50 - Many people have commented on my shoes. I have never had so many compliments about my shoes. (Well, maybe with the exception of the cute white Paul Parot shoes from when I was six.) Fit is great - I can be a 10 or 11. My feet are a little funky, so I always put store bought inserts in all of the shoes I buy. Truth be known - am proud to own these shoes. My sister and sister in law seemed rather envious.

Nothing compares to the look of the real thing and these are the real thing. I ordered one pair in true size and one pair a 1/2 size down just in case. The true size was the correct one. In addition to a retro look, be prepared for a retro fit close to the ground, low heel, and narrow across the ball of the foot. I doubt this shoe would work well for all day walking/hiking.

I bought the conch (pink) in 7.5B. They fit very well. They are a little snug but not uncomfortable at all. I love the color and I am going to spray a water repellant on them now before I forget. The color is too beautiful to mar. Zappos is a great shopping experience.

Cute, cute, cute! I bought the all-black ones. It is true what other reviewers say about there not being much arch support- these do not cushion the feet like running shoes. I've worn these shoes in one form or another since I was a child and have always loved them- and they are always the same (that's in a good way!). I wear them for looks, not for sports, and they are perfect for that. They were also comfortable right out of the box, lightweight and true to size. I wear them with everything- skirts, jeans, sundresses.

I love these shoes so much! After years of wearing Chucks, the squishy soles that line this model feel so decedent. I also sometimes use my green Superfeet insoles for a change; it is so nice that the original insoles are removable. I wear these with jeans or shorts and they look very classy.:) They are perfect for walking all around campus all day or for shopping. There are only two problems I have with them: 1) They are not as durable as Chuck Taylors. After 2 months of almost-daily wear, the rubber up on the tops started cracking where it met the fabric. Also, the soles seem to have worn out really quickly. I have had them for about 5 months and the back of the heel has worn away from the bottom of the sole, so there is a small gap on the bottom of each shoe near the "Jack Purcell" logo. The tread is also almost gone from the bottom. 2) The white fabric gets REALLY DIRTY!!! Like, almost black on the tongue of the shoe where the shoelaces rub all day. Is this dark color from the metal in the grommets? I don't know. But it's really bad. Also, the shoe laces come undone easily. Overall, though, I am happy I found such cute and comfy shoes and I'm going to buy another pair even if they don't last forever! (But I will probably buy black ones).

My favorite shoe of all time - I have flat arches. Most shoes (and every shoe with a "swoosh" on the side) make my feet hurt. The fact that Chucks have virtually no arch support is a Godsend for me. I've owned at least one pair of Chucks continually since I was 13 years old (22 years and running). Right now I own 2 pairs. One if for everyday wear and one is for the gym. Chucks are - still - one of the best shoes around for Olympic style lifting. Yes, if you are competitive go ahead and get lifting shoes. For me though, the Chucks are it.

SO Comfortable! Okay, so call me stereotypical "southern", but I hate wearing shoes. Usually the first thing to come off when I get home from work or anywhere is my shoes, but I absoloutely LOVE these shoes! They're so comfortable, and so light, and they breathe really well. My feet hardly sweat at all. I wish they were more professional looking - I would wear them to work with my scrubs. I'm glad I read the reviews before I ordered because I have a wide foot and I usually wear a size 10, but I ordered a Mens 7/Womens 9 in these and they fit perfect and I still had plenty of room. After wearing them consecutively for a few days, the canvas stretched a little and I didn't have a problem with my feet feeling like the shoes were too narrow at all. I will be ordering an infant pair of shoes just like these for my son!... and probably several other pair of Converse shoes in the future. I DO NOT buy my shoes from ANYwhere else!!! Thanks Zappos!

Converse Waterproof Sport Hiker

Reviewer:Jorge C from Tampa, Florida

Overall Rating:

These Converse Waterproof Hikers are the most awesome shoes I've ever bought for work. They are very light for their size and feel extremely comfortable with plenty of room for you to wiggle your toes. They actually feel very much like quality basketball shoes! I believe it's the composite safety toe of these Converse that makes them far superior to standard steel toe of other shoes. In my opinion, these shoes look very stylish (especially the brown ones). They still look rugged, yet smooth; rock solid, yet nimble. I do disaster restoration work which involves saving buildings from major floods. I am always on my feet and on the move a lot, constantly lugging around industrial equipment in some dilapidated buildings. I've worn all kinds of boots and steel-toe shoes over the last fifteen years. So far I've had these awesome shoes for a month and can gleefully report that I have had no calluses, no chafing and no painfully tired feet. These Converse blow all other footwear away that I or anybody else I know of when comparing work shoes in industrial or hazardous work environments. I strongly recommend ordering the Converse Waterproof Hikers from Zappos.com. By the way these shoes do fit a bit wide so you may want to order a half size smaller if you have normal arch feet. Otherwise they FEEL and LOOK supreme!
