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.

Great traditional high top - This is a great shoe. It fits my tall son perfectly! He says they are very comfortable and he loves the look. Even better -- they wash well! I suggest air drying them outside. I didn't want to superheat them in my dryer. They came out as good as new from the washer even though he'd worn them camping and stepped in every muddy creek there was -- twice! A great shoe! Good and sturdy!

Another joy - Another great pair of Chucks from Zappos! Def order smaller then your sneaker size as they run about a size less.

Converse shoes are generally not breathable. They're the only shoes that make my feet stink and sweat. While stylish, I would not say they're functional. They are also overpriced.

Classic style - Always great looking...from sparkling clean fresh from the box up until the saddest dingiest last step!

Reviewer: Gordiggler from California
Overall: (5 Stars) Comfort: (5 Stars) Style: (5 Stars)
Chucks rock - These shoes are great. They are very light and comfortable, almost like they are not even there at all. No arch support and very little cushioning, so these are not shoes you would want to wear all day if you are on your feet constantly. And, of course they have a classic look that will probably never go out of style. As far as the size issue, I wear 12s and I got these in a 12 and they fit fine, maybe a little big but not too big, they don't slide on my heel or anything like that. I'd rather have them a little too big than too small anyway.

Converse All Star Core HI - Great look, durable, and competitive pricing. Fast, free shipping a major plus. Only wish there was arch support.

Converse Zappos Review - Zappos delivered ahead of schedule. The overall process was very quick and easy. I am very delighted with my shopping experience. The Converse Hi Tops are great, Converses run larger so I had to purchase half a shoe size smaller, but I am very happy with my purchase.

My son loves these; he's on his 2nd pair! I bought these for my son, it's his 2nd pair, he just chose another color. He loves them! He can be a little slow at getting them on because they are hi tops but other than that, I love them too! Boy do they hold up! He started with his 1st pair right at the start of the school year and wore them every day! I ordered his second pair because the other started to really look ratty and get too tight. 7 months of daily wear...works for me!

Classic - This shoe is a classic. My husband will only wear this brand. Everything about it works. This shoe works well with a narrow foot and for someone that does not need to worry about arch support.

Gabby's Converse - My daughter loves this kind of shoe. We have been looking for the right one, because she wanted them all black and I found them on your page. Thank you.

Love them - I love my new shoes. I had a pair in college and stupidly got rid of them, and I had to have a new pair cause they are so killer. I have been wearing them a lot. They are so comfy. I would recommend them to anyone with a sense of cool style.

The shoe - I ordered these for my son. After we had been to two stores, either they didn’t have his size or the color he wanted, I said to him just order them at Zappos, you won't be disappointed, so we ordered them you had them in his size and the color he wanted (red). When he got them he was excited, he got them in three days like you said, but he had ordered them a size too big, why I don't know. So I called your customer service (very helpful) sent out another pair right away, received them (right size) thank goodness,very happy with the turn out, thank you so much.

How do I rate thee, let me count the stars! I needed red shoes for an event (casual) for the heart, and I thought I would rather have these. I have never owned Converse before and so many people commented on them. (Positive). I will end up wearing these more than another shoe.

My favorite sneakers in the world - Since childhood these have been my all time favorite sneakers. I have bought so many pairs of these through Zappos; high tops, low tops, black, white, pink, you name it. I highly recommend these sneakers for their timeless style and quality construction. As for sizing, I can buy my true size (7) or a half size smaller.

Converse - I got the black on black ones. Comfortable, true to size. Like the look. Classic style, which is not as padded as the new sneaker designs.

My 10 year old loves these sneakers. She says that they are very comfortable, and she loves how they look. It took a little while to break in one of the shoes because they were a little narrow in the toe.

Blast from the Past!!! Woah blast from the past! I had a pair of those high navy ones when back in '85 when I was a teen. By '87 they were a train wreck and my mom threw them out when I wasn't looking. I'm a guy that always kills his shoes, but the navy Chucks actually lasted a few years. All the sneakers I've bought since were destroyed within a few months. Now all I wear is a grimy pair of work boots but I picked up a navy high pair from Zappos for nostalgic reasons. Love 'em but I can't wear them in the lab. Still awesome.
