Very nice and comfortable shoes, help me with fine NY City easy style whenever I plan to some, and it goes pretty much with anything.

These shoes look fantastic! I ordered the classic black and white combo, one for me and one for my son. Did order a half size down. Very happy with the look and fit!

I've been wearing Converse since I was a kid & I love them! They're super sturdy & very comfortable. I tend to run a half size smaller in these than other shoes, so you might keep that in mind.

My kids love these shoes - they call them their "Hannah Montana" shoes. They wear them almost every day!

My daughter, who is 11, wanted these tennis shoes, but all the local stores only carried whole sizes when what she really needed was a half size. We ordered the shoes expecting a 2-3 day wait and especially since I ordered in the evening, but to our pleasant surprise they were at our house the next day. A Next-Day upgrade was applied and she was wearing her new shoes to school right away. She loves them and wears them almost every day.

This is my second purchase from Zappos. I\'m amazed at how quickly my order arrives! Zappos is the only way I buy my shoes.

I wear a size 37 and these fit perfectly. The color looks great with denim and khakis. I have a pink pair that are close to being retired. I chose this color for my new shoes since my 3 year son has a matching pair.

This was my first pair of Converse All Stars shoes and I am very pleased with the way they look. The only drawback I saw with this pair was during the first week or two of wearing them. I found that the toe box is a bit narrower than I was expecting and the inside of the shoes rubbed on my pinky toes pretty badly. I got blisters on both toes! I had to use patches of moleskin to prevent further chafing. I\'m not sure if it was the 2 weeks of wearing constantly or my loosening up the laces in the toe area, but they\'re more comfortable now and I don\'t get any chafing. My suggestion is to loosen the laces when you get them if you have a wide foot.

These are the only shoes I buy. I\'ve been wearing them since I was 14 years old. They look great, feel great and are inexpensive. The free shipping is a plus also.

Great shoes, really bring me back to middle school. I got the black and white ones. I usually wear a size 8, but bought a 7.5 (womens) after reading the other reviews. They fit great! Love them, and Zappos service as usual.

If you haven't been wearing these since you were a child, then you just don't know. I never get tired of them, they wear out and get as soft as moccasins. I keep my old pairs for grubbin' shoes. They might not give the best support, but I've walked miles in them and been fine.

I had to return these becuase they were too big and the process couldnt have been easier! These shoes were of the high quality I have come to expect from Converse and with the customer service of Zappos, I will always buy shoes from here.

I love the style of these shoes. It is very classic. I ordered a half size smaller than my normal size because the shoes run larger than normal in my opinion. Otherwise, I'm completely satisfied with my purchase. I love Zappos and Converse.

These shoes look fantastic! I ordered the classic black and white combo, and they seem to go with every casual outfit I own. I would definitely order a 1/2 size down at least because I usually wear a size 9 and ordered an 8.5 and it still has some extra room in the toes. But be warned: It may take a few days to break these shoes in. The first couple of wears were a little uncomfortable.

I ordered these for my 17 year old daughter in size 7, at her request. She suggested getting them from a popular teen catalog but I found them for less at Zappos! They run just a little long, but that allows room for socks. She loves them and wears them all the time. She is a sandals girl, but is thrilled with her Converse and wants more colors. I know what she wants for Christmas! I love them too!

I usually buy my Chuck Taylors from a brick and mortar store, but this time I decided to use Zappos. I'm glad I did! The shoe, as always, is excellent. Fits perfect, the quality is top notch, and the comfort, not so great. What do you expect from a shoe that hasn't changed much in nearly 100 years? I am now 25 and still wear my CT's like there's no tomorrow.

Thanks to Zappos, my Converse collection is large and inclusive. I am the envy of my fellow collectors. Converse still keeps in mind the old-fashioned ethics of simple, well made, and inexpensive. Zappos puts the customer first, following the golden rule of retail.

I knew the product I purchased was good, so nothing to say there. Zappos recommended ordering a size smaller than my size and they fit perfectly. More important than the product information, which is accurate, is Zappos' service. Customer service is outstanding. I bought a pair of dress shoes, preparing for my father's departure from this life. The woman I dealt with was very helpful, insuring I got the proper fit and look that I was seeking. Not only that, she expressed a great deal of care and sympathy for me and my family. Prices are right on. I have bought several pairs of shoes from Zappos and have compared prices both on the net and personally at different shoe stores. Zappos is the same and often cheaper. Shipping is free and fast. That means both ways. I've returned shoes with no questions asked. If you don't want the hassle of going to the mall and you can wait 'til the next day or two, providing you know your size, Zappos is the way to go. Okay Zappos. You owe me.

Pain is beauty, form over function, yadda yadda. The All Stars are great for those who need to look good when they go out, and don't mind a bit of discomfort to get results. They look great and will never go out of style, while at the same time being cheap and simple, so you never feel terrible about being a little rough on them or scuffing them up. In a nutshell; Pros: look great, cheap, timeless. Cons: poor comfort and foot support, poor heat management (my feet always seem to be either freezing or sweating in these).

After reading a review for these shoes, I bought a size half down because it was stated that they run big. Well, after doing so, I had to return then to get my actual size. They fit perfectly. They are also extremely comfortable. Even though the arch support is minimal, I can still wear them all day with no problems. They almost feel like slippers. I would consider buying them in other colors, they look good with everything!
