    Back in the day - I owned my first pair of Jack Purcells in 1961 when I was 9 years old. All of the surfers wore them...they were the rage. I own a pair now and I feel just like I did then...cool and still young--buy some. I'm now 52 yrs old andI love my Jack Purcells! I just bought my boss some--he wore them too...

    Perfect! I owned the older version of the Jack Purcells that I purchased about 2 years ago. They looked great and matched with almost anything, but were not that comfortable. However, this newer version added more cushion to the shoe and they feel great and still have that classic jack purcell look! The only bad thing about these is that the white ones tend to get dirty very easily [and is very hard to clean] so I can't wear them in the rain.

    Quality - The quality of products has a lot of improvements. I am very satisfied with the quality. I wish I can have green/black color. Let me know if you have this color. Last time I saw this color on your web site but suddenly I can't find it anymore. Thank you.

    Awesome - I absolutly love my new kicks. I have them in several colors and have recommended them to many of my friends. My hairdreser commented on how great they were and bought herself a pair, and she is thrilled with their comfort and style and recommends them to many of her clients. Thanks for making my feet comfy and stylish. I am a big fan. and will keep ordering. Thanks

    Jack Purcell Converse - WOW! I had been searching and searching for these. I wore them as a kid back in the 60's and enjoyed them. I wanted to relive my youth growing up in Huntington Beach, CA. and now I am. These take me back to a time of surfing and hanging out with my buddies at the beach. Basic shoe and really comfortable and half the price of tennie's I have been buying. I highly recommend these to anyone who wore them as a kid, they will like them as an adult...Order them and have fun again like when you were a kid!

    Great Shoes - I originally ordered these for my daughter for Christmas, had to return them because they run large, then received a pair that was marked different on the website than the shoe box. I finally ended up with the right size for my daughter and kept a pair for myself. They are cute, very comfy and well made. Zappos was extrememly helpful in getting me the proper size, never charging for shipping, return shipping or difference in cost at times of reorder. My shopping experience with Zappos was so great, almost easier then going out to a store.

    I Now Have Two Pairs - These shoes are THE BEST. Casual, hip and goes with everything. I purchased a pair in blue… and couldn’t get enough, so I had to get a pair in classic black/white. I could not find the black/white pair anywhere online or in the malls! Very frustrating! Zappos emailed me as soon as possible when they received a new shipment. I ordered them the next day! Make sure you purchase a pair ½ size smaller than normal. I usually wear a size 9.5 mens, but size 9 fit me snug. It’s weird, cause in the Chuck Taylors/All-Stars, I fit a size 8 mens. Go figure. Everyone and their mother wears the Chuck Taylors/All-Stars… (which I have too)… but I prefer the Jack Purcells better. These shoes have a cleaner look to them, and is more comfortable on the feet. The material is also better quality than the Chuck Taylors/All-Stars. Overall, great looking shoe. I cannot be happier. Great job Zappos.

    Great shoes - Can't really say anything bad about them. Size was perfect. I wear size 10 Chuck Taylors and these look a tiny bit bigger. Snug and soft fit. and it leaves a cool footprint.

    As great as I remember - It's been many years....my first pair of Jack Purcell's was in my freshman year of college (1960) I wore them everyday and most nights during my four years of college. I wore them whenever I could in Vietnam. Later after Vietnam I looked to replace my JP's but was unable to find a store that carried them. Forty years later I was surfing the web & came across my old friends. Was I surprised! Ordered a pair and found them to be just as I remember. It was like coming home...

    Great everyday shoe - This shoe is a perfect casual shoe for a reasonable price. The look is simplistic, yet different from the chuck taylors. It's also a lot more comfertable than the chucks, with it's thickers padding on the soles and the thongue. If you're looking for a nice casual look that can be dressed up or down, look no further.

    Comfort and style all in 1 package! This shoe has been improved since the last time I bought a pair. There is more cushion to it and the interior has a soft, squishy, velvety texture which only adds to the overall comfort.

    "Jacks" addict pleased again! Again, another great pair of Jacks. I've never worn the "CP"'s before with the new details though. They have a larger fit and didn't fit as snug as my others in the same size but they are still comfy and look great. I would suggest buying a half size smaller than you normally wear. The white color is brighter than the original Jacks which are a little "off" white.
