If you like the regular Converse All-Stars then you will most likely love the Converse Jack Purcell. The Purcell is both lighter and all around more comfortable than the All-Stars. I have several pairs of Jack Purcells and they are all very comfortable and the fit and finish is consistent. The Purcell runs true to size, unlike the All-Stars. The only downside is that the Purcell is not available in as many colors and styles like the All-Star but hopefully that will change soon. Like I mentioned at the start, if you ever tried a pair of All-Stars, which most people I know have, and liked them then definitely get a pair of Purcells and you will like them just the same, if not more.
Brands I'd also recommend: Vans, Converse All-Stars

I am usually a standard 10 and these fit perfect. Nice shoe, surprisingly comfortable, the only thing is the shoe laces are strangely long.

I. Love. This. Shoe. It's got more support than the original Chuck and really stinkin' cute too! I wish it came in more colors, because I'd buy them all!

Wow, Zappos! You are incredible! I mean it. I ordered a 10 1/2 but that seemed a little large. Returned after three weeks (indoor wear) and within a week they fully credited my account with a refund in which I purchased a 1/2 size smaller. I received my shoes the next day and they fit perfectly.. And mind you, this was during the week when the infamous hacker compromised 24 million accounts. All I can say is thank you Zappos for an amazing service and awesome shipping policy... Can't ask for anything better.

These are still classics. They remind me of my high school days. I teach high school and my students loved to see them. They wanted to know where I got them. They do run a tad narrow so you might want to up your size a bit. That is not a serious issue, though.

Classic shoes. More comfortable than the Chuck Taylors and with basically the same look. The only thing I don't love is the price (since I have fond memories of when they were only $20), but I wear them almost every day and they are a great shoe and a good value all things considered.

I've had these shoes for a month and they are fantastic. As others have commented, they are much more comfortable than the All Star shoe; the upper has more cushioning and there is some extra fabric around the ankle. I was worried that this shoe would be slippery on wet floors (it is hard to see the detail of the sole online) but they have proved to be very good on wet surfaces so far. Great shoe and I would recommend them for someone looking for a comfortable, good looking and understated casual shoe.

Love the retro look and pretty comfy too. I have a friend who has worn these for years and she washes them in her washing machine regularly; the canvas just keeps getting softer and more broken in.

I have many pairs of Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars, but this black and white Converse Jack Purcell is my first ever Purcell. Wow! They are like 100% times more comfortable than the regular Converse. These Purcells have so much padding, and they are so supportive. I could actually wear them all day, something that I could never do in Converse Chucks. Great shoe!

These were a gift for my son. He has several pairs of Jack Purcell. He rarely wears anything else, more comfortable than Chuck Taylor.

These shoes are amazing. I don't have to worry about damaging them like I do with Chucks. They also come with metal eaglets! I personally like the way they look better than Chucks, too. The front part doesn't pick up as much dirt as Chucks. These shoes are going to last me much longer than 6 months-1 year.

Great shoes. I've worn All Stars for years and decided to try Jack Purcell's because I like the style. Sizing runs large. I normally wear a 9.5 or 10, 9 fits perfect in these. Also, have great cushioning, much more comfortable than All Stars.

I love these shoes! I had a pair back in high school and getting this new pair reminds me they are as wonderfully classic as I remembered. Perfect pair of sneakers. Versatile with lots of outfits. Plus, as always, Zappos shipping was incredibly fast. I highly recommend!

Great shoe! The shoe was generally true to size but a little narrower than similar shoes from other brands, even a little narrower than the Converse Chucks that I own, but not so narrow that it was uncomfortable or unwearable.
