Customer Reviews Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High-Top Sneaker

Old School. These shoes are awesome looking. They are a little uncomfortable because they have no support but they are old school and need to come back into style. I gave them a 4 mostly because they are cool.

sexiest sneaker on the market. Evey since I was a child I thought you were the best if you had Chucks on. As I am older now (39) I feel they are very sexy sneakers. Growing up I wore Prokeds in blue until I come not find them and then I got Chucks and have loved ever since. One christmas I had that converse was in trouble $$ and CC so I bought 12 pairs of them and give out to 10 friends as gifts. I keep 2 pairs just incase they did go out of business. I still have a pair and they are from 1985, still in a box. I hope soon they come back big.

The best currently available, but not the best ever. Tips for first-timers: First, some history: the Chucks of the 60's were better than the Chucks of the 70's, which were better than the Chucks of the 80's, which were better than the Chuck's of the 90's. So if you want the best Chucks, you'll need big bucks. You'll have to buy vintage. And now that they've been bought by a Japanese firm & moved production to China, who knows. But with that in mind, here's some tips - 1) Pay no mind to Zappos' recommendation that you buy 'em 1/2 size small. Modern Chucks are narrow so you'll have to go large or they'll cramp your foot. That's why they'll make your feet look long & skinny. But don't worry, I like the look & so will you. 2) If you are going to just be walking & standing & sitting in them, they'll last you a very long time. However, at some point they will begin to wear out. Toward the end they will develop large holes in the canvas & the rubber parts will begin to tear. Finally you'll begin to doubt your human worth for continuing to wear them, and you'll throw them away & get new ones. 3) If you have a flat foot, you'll appreciate that the insoles are shaped like the Nevada Desert, not the Rocky Mountains. 4) They'll look & feel better when you break them in, so when you get them throw some dirt on the white parts. You feel better already? 5) As someone said, these shoes are not a fashion statement - they exist in a world beyond that wicked realm. Putting them on you will have a new-found sense that you are an intelligent person who can spot a good thing and use it wisely.

decent pair of rubber shoes. the converse are pretty good shoes for just rubber and canvas slapped together, i ahve been wearing only cons since i was like 3, so i couldnt tell you if any other shoe is better. confort wise they are good untill like the 2 month mark, but hey, you have to wear em untill they have no soul left.

I'm gunna make it simple. These shoes are the best if ur into rock, and I mean any kind of rock, punk, classic, any!! Mike Myers wears them in Wayne's World 1 and 2. They kick a**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great Shoes. I think these shoes are really cool cause you can wear them with almost anything, but they're not the greatest shoe ever made. They hurt my feet a little, but that's okay cause they look good.

Happiness is a new pair of chucks. Chucks are great. Not too durable and not too cheap (anymore), but otherwise wonderful. Mine get a lot of wear, but they wear well, so I...well, wear them. Climbing trees, rocks, mountains, staircases, playing soccer, running, etcetera. Oh, but they feel so Good. And fat people can wear chucks if they feel like it. Why the hell not? Fat peoples' chucks must last longer than mine too- they don't do all that stuff mentioned above. Converse must pay you people to write such rave reviews. (Maybe I could get a cut?) or maybe they just make great shoes.

Sole Food. I'm a kid trapped in a rather old body. I've worn the hi-tops since I was a "real" kid back in the '50's. There's something about these shoes that transcends time and nourishes the spirit, (which is the part of you that never grows old if you don't allow it). 'Scuse the metaphysical stuff - this is just my own humble opinion. Since the color selection is a bit limited, I always get White, buy a packet of RIT dye in my favorite color of the moment and "roll my own." I once made a pair in avocado green which became my lucky shoes. I wore them to all my exams in college, and even to a job interview. They looked great with my new suit, and I even got the job! (Of course, nobody really cares what a programmer looks like . . .).

Converse Rocks! I heard recently that Converse was going out of business because people wern't buying their shoes. WHAT!!? Converse is the ultimate Amercian shoe. They rock! I'm keepin' mine so Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam can sign 'em. Anyone, who is debating buying this shoe or not, I say you should.

Old School Shoes. I've been playing basketball for almost 10 years and I've never had a pair of shoes as good as the old school "Chuck Taylor Converse" basketball shoes. They're cheap, durable, and the best shoe for any real ball player!

Very classic stylish look but don't wear them if you have to do a lot of walking
