Customer Reviews Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High-Top Sneaker

I have been wearing these for about a month now and I'm pretty happy with them. I normally wear a 7.5 (woman's) and I was worried about what size to order. I knew that I would want to put my orthotics into the shoes, so I needed them a little big, but then not too big? I decided to go with a 7.5 since people said the shoes were a little large and that worked out. The shoes fit well with and without the orthotics in them. They are as uncomfortable as everyone says; I could barely walk across the room without my orthotics in them (but I have pretty picky feet). Even with the orthotics I don't ever wear these for a full day of walking around, but for going to school or running errands they are fine. One thing I was surprised by, I thought that these shoes would make my feet look big, but I think they make them look smaller, it anything. Overall, I'm happy with these shoes and for anyone else with picky feet who is wondering if they can wear the 'cool' shoes like everyone else, I hope this helps!

Converse are ultimately cool sneakers...and as beauty often does...it comes with some down-sides. You get to have the right size, as the rubber front end does not ever widen. There is no foot-bed and when you wear them in hot weather they can get smelly...but hey, they are cool.

Love these tennis shoes! Fun, comfortable and go with everything

These run BIG!!! I bought a 12 and when they came, I felt like I was a kid again trying on my fathers shoes!!! Buy a size smaller.

Converse are a great classic style. My husband wore these with his suit for our wedding and they really looked great! However, they were too narrow for his feet and he'll likely not wear them very often. I wish Converse carried wides. I have a couple pair of Converse myself and feel that they are narrower than other shoes but stretch and conform to your foot nicely after a few wearings.

I ordered these shoes for my wedding. Yes, I said wedding. Ordering was easy, and they arrived quickly within a couple of days of ordering. Since I have other colors of Chuck Hi-Tops, I knew what size to order. It is true they have zero arch support. If your feet give you trouble do not buy these. But I have arch supports which travel between shoes and they work well in these shoes. And it is nice when wedding shoes are both stylish and practical! I have ordered from Zappos before and will do so again, but I will not marry again.

I love these shoes, but there is nothing to them. I have to put in inserts if I want to wear them all day or they start to hurt my feet.

The Chucks provide classic style. They seriously can be dressed with any sort of attire: up, down, worn out, fresh and clean, whatever. They do run a one size too large. I wear a size 11 in Chucks whereas I normally wear a size 12 in most other brands. The shoes are decently comfortable, but the make my feet hurt if I do too much walking in them. Definitely not a good athletic shoe. I tried ballin' in these before, and it turned out to be a very bad idea. I didn't jump higher; I just had sore feet. I also ride my bicycle a lot and these shoes are terrible for that. The soles come undone and they also aren't thick enough to do a good job. Even without biking, the shoes wear out while just walking. And, while I like the worn in look, I have to repeatedly buy new pairs due to worn out soles, holes and tears. That being said, I keep buying them because they are that classic.

I bought these shoes because a guy in a strength book I read wears them for balance and flat footed feel. They work great I wear them every day that I workout. Also you can't go wrong with this classic!

Classic Converse shoe that we all grew up with. Still made the same way it was when we were kids a million years ago.

The style is great. Not much support for walking or running. Best for standing around and looking cool.

Great classic style, there is no arch support so don't plan on marathon running in these. Great price for a casual athletic shoe.

Great trainer, timeless style and awesome value. I just purchased my first pair ever this year and all I keep asking myself is 'why did you wait so long' before trying them out. For reasons unbeknownst to me, these 'Chucks' All Stars pairs well with pretty much everything. Some say it's a half size too big, I believe it to be close to a whole size too big (buy the two sizes and return or gift the one that doesn't fit). Enjoy!

I bought these solely for weight lifting. The flat, hard sole is great for deadlifting, squats, and just about any sort of lifting exercise. But there is one thing: these shoes are not as great for someone who is flat footed, like I am. For me, the problem is not that there is no arch support (sometimes arch support hurts and I'd rather do without it), but rather that the shoe is not wide enough. If they made these with the option of a wide sized shoe, then I would have no complaints in the gym.

As usual, the product arrived in record time; a trademark of Zappos. I'm judging Chuck Taylor's shoes based on what I remember from years ago - the canvas seems a little thinner than what I'm used to but adequate. Remember to buy arch support inserts as these shoes have always lacked proper arch support. A plus is you can wash them in your washer; but recommend air dry. Good shoe overall.

The shoe I received was not the all black one pictured, but my daughter grabbed her paints and personalized them anyway. We love Converses, so it's all good.

These shoes are 'cooleer than cool'. A real classic...and the red is such a fun colour. That said, my son's feet get sweaty in them (so do mine in mine from 30 years ago!). Maybe the rubber toe box?

Classic Converse. Order one size smaller than usual, I wear a 14 normally and a 13 in Converse. Zappos is always great to buy from.

These are cool shoes with timeless style. Make sure to buy a half size smaller then your usual size.

Cute and practical. Love them! Yes, order a size down please!

I bought a pair of these shoes because lots of research shows these shoes are universally accepted as the best power-lifting shoes available. After a couple lifting sessions, I can verify that these shoes do make a difference. The flat sole and lack of gel padding really helps with generating power and "spreading" the floor. From what I've heard, the canvas and good craftsmanship make these shoes last a long time if solely used for lifting. I'd definitely recommend -- although if you have a really wide foot you might not fit into these. I have about a half inch of space in the toe to allow for a wide enough shoe.

The delivery was so fast that I still don't understand how it was done and I had even checked the slow free delivery. The shoes are as they should. Fits perfectly, well it's a classic.

Great shoe. Exactly what you would expect of a Converse shoe. Fits very well as long as you choose a size smaller and looks great with jeans.

Great shoes, you can't go wrong with these classics. They do run a bit large as converse always do so order a half size down as they suggest.
