Cute, but wish they weren't white -
I bought this shoe because I wanted to wear something around the house that's cute, but has arch support or that I can add arch support (not Merrills-ick!). I could add arch support, and they actually fit a lot better with one in, but the whiteness of the white did me in. Black was out of stock.

Great casual shoe running a 1/2 size larger than normal. Minimal support, but recommend highly anyway!

Best Flats For School -
I bought these last year, but outgrew them. I was so excited to find them again. They look great and are pretty comfortable for a flat with little support. Best part? Nobody else at school has found them!

Great shoe!
I love this shoe! Once I broke them in, and I admit that took a few days of wearing for only 1 hr at a time, they were great. I have bony feet, so they were a little sore at first. Since these have no support, I put in insoles & I love them even more! I knew that these were marked bigger than they fit, so I ordered a half size down.

My second pair and I still love them -
I originally purchased this shoe in London during the summer of 2005 and proceeded to wear them practically every day to walk around the city. After wearing them for a few years, I put insoles in them, which really helps with the lack of arch support - if that's your concern - don't worry; this shoe is worth it to buy anyway! I absolutely love my new black ones (my old pair are pink) and am actually wearing them today!

Cute and stylish -
Nice shoes, they were for my girlfriend. Great look and a pretty ok comfort. But after one day walking with them in San Fran you feel your feet pretty much :-). But that’s not the main application for these shoes.

Cute shoe -
Runs a little larger. I normally wear a 7 or 7.5 and I had to get a 6.5. Lightweight and cute!

Runs way big -
My only gripe about this comfortable sneaker is that it runs so large. I didn't discover this in time to return it, of course (having worn them outside) but will continue to flop around the house in them.

Not good quality for the price -
These shoes are cute, but minimal in construction. They have virtually no padding and my feet sweat in them when I wear them. I’m sorry to say they are somehow less comfortable than original Jack Purcell’s (and that’s saying something). I wish I had gone with Simple’s "Carousel" instead...

Super Cute and Comfy -
These shoes are great. Very comfortable. They sort of have a suede lining. I seriously recommend wearing foot peds...make sure when you are buying the peds that they are the ultra low cut ones...no one likes to see the overhanging ped coming out of the shoe...definitely a fashion DONT! Other than that they are the perfect summer shoe...its too bad that they aren’t continuing them...they should be a classic...forever obtainable.

Nice ballet flats!
Overall, these are really nice casual ballet flats. Like most others, they have no support, so you'll probably have to buy shoe inserts. They do run big in both width and size. I usually wear a 10 wide, this shoe I took a 9.5M.

Very, very comfortable -
These are very cute and slim-looking. I normally take either a 9 or 9.5 (narrow) and ended up with an 8.5, which is still roomy.

Cute, but thin -
I guess they really are dance shoes cuz they sure don't have a lot of substance to them as they are VERY thin soled and rather flimsy for the price. I'm kind of lukewarm about wearing them as much as I joyfully bounce around town in all my other Converse slip-ons. Maybe I'll take a dance class and love 'em then? Zappos, as usual, is the only way to buy shoes!

Listen to me -
The reviews are correct on this one. These sneakers are everything you'll expect it to be. I absolutely love them on me and hopefully you will too once u purchase these. They are very cute with leggings but I have not tried them with jeans yet but I’m pretty sure it'll look fabulous. The size however is not true to size. I typically wear a size 7 in women and a 5 in men. After reading everyone's comment, I went for a size 6 in these Jack Purcells and they fit perfectly. However, I can not wear socks with them. If anyone plans on wearing socks with these MAGNIFICENT sneaks, go down 1/2 a size. BUY IT NOW!

Love em. Buy em -
Cute cute. They go with jeans and skirts and everything in between; I am constantly getting compliments when I am out and about with them on. The only thing is, like other converse shoes, there is not a whole lot of arch support or cushion. These are not shoes that you would want to be wearing if you have to be on your feet all day or plan on any high impact activity. Otherwise, they are stylish, comfortable and easy to slip on. Love em.

I’ve been wanting a pair of black skimmers/ ballerina type shoe and I must say these are it. I’m going to buy another pair. They run a just little big but that's okay. They feel great and are super cute. You can wear them with just about anything.

BAD -
These shoes were very uncomfortable. I got them and they ran 2 sizes too big!!! Well I sent them back and then got the right size for me, but after walking around in them for a few days I got HUGE blisters on my foot! I would recommend to NOT get these shoes!
