These shoes are a full size big - I'm normally a 9 and ordered an 8! They do take some breaking in. I blister easily on my heels and got some pretty nasty ones the first few times I wore them. But once they start to soften up, they're very comfortable! Super stylish and easy to wear with just about anything.

I got a pair of pink men's size 8 Chuck Taylor Hi-Tops on a dare eight years ago. They were the only pair of shoes I took with me the last two times I was homeless. "Civilian Gary" and I had a big discussion at the Balsam Lake homeless shelter four years ago about how Chuck Taylors are by far THE most comfortable shoes, hands down. I got a pair in brown since then, but now I'm going to get the classic black and white. I prefer the Hi-Top version, because it's so kind to my Achilles' heel.

I love these shoes. I originally ordered a half size smaller than I normally order based on the reviews. I ended up returning those and getting them in my regular size and they fit fine.

I've standard arches, most shoes and shoe insoles try to throw an arch into your shoe and that hurts my foot like hell, these are flat and light.

Way too big. It says women's size is a true fit but it is not. I say go down at least 1 size especially if your feet are narrow.

My son loves these and it's his second pair. They wear well and do not fall apart. He grew out of the old ones but they still looked fine. They are not sturdy shoes for walking or hiking long distances, however, and he got a couple if blisters when we spent an afternoon walking around a city on vacation. But for general casual wear they are great and they look cool.

I'm glad they were right about them fitting a size to big because they sent me a size below what I ordered.

Great shoes for the gym. I like the flat-footedness of them, and they're stylish enough that I wear them out and about too. The gray is toned-down enough to work in more casual settings.
Only thing I don't like is how long the laces are. If you don't tie them up to the top holes, you'll be stepping on them.

I always have multiple pairs of Converse All Stars on hand in both Hi and Lo top. Being nice and flat they keep you in touch with the ground. They also keep a good grip on all surfaces. That is always a safe choice. They go nicely with Levis 501's. And they are not made out of animals.

I bought these for my son as a replacement pair. He's worn Chuck Taylor's for years now. They do run 1/2 size larger. Good quality and Zappos always delivers quickly. Never had a problem.

Chucks are still way cool, but they don't make 'em like they used to in '82. Somehow it seems that they managed to make the canvas thinner/less substantial. Same for the rubber soles. My first pair lasted through a couple of years of near daily use before they fell apart. I get the feeling that the 2014 Chucks do not have the same durability. Time will tell.

This is a great shoe, I got a lot of compliments on them (though I don't know why, my Converses look no different than anyone else's). Look awesome with black pants, and I can wear them for P.E. They do hurt a lot as you break them in, and the color fades, which is probably my biggest complaint. My other biggest complaint is that there is extra on the outside, which makes your foot look funny. All in all though, this is a good shoe, and I would recommend it to you. I meant to give the style three stars, sorry, it isn't working.

Truly classic footwear! Really thin breathable show. Sole can feel minimalist for flat footed people. Other than that, great shoe that I'll buy again and again.

A casual, trendy shoe that doesn't go out of style. I find myself wearing these all the time. My feet are a little narrow and they fit well. They did get a little dirty on the toes quickly, but it makes the shoe almost look better in a way. I'll definitely continue to buy this shoe in the future.

Converse shoes never go out of style, so you don't have to worry if you'll look totally off to the people who care about the latest shoe fashion update (Toms; Sperry's; UGGs; etc) if you're going back to school. These shoes would go best with an insole of your choice because they don't have much arch support and kind of flop around on your feet while you're walking. I have wide feet due to my mom being part Native American, so I normally have to get a size 8.5 or 9 depending on the shoe, while a wide size shoe will fit my foot comfortably at size 7.5. This shoe is known to be slim at the toes, so I got a size nine. There is a two inch space between my toes and the front of the shoe. The only time that would be helpful is if my big toe decided to randomly grow two inches while I was walking around from class to class. I'm not really complaining, but I just thought that lots of people have wide feet, and the way the front of the shoe is shaped, not even a person with skinny toes would be able to fit in there comfortably. Just saying. Despite all the negativity, I love these shoes.

I like how flat and low to the ground these feel. I don't love how big the rubber band around the bottom looks, but that's what you get with these. definitely order a size down! 'm usually a size 12, got these in a 11.5, but probably could've even gone down to 11 as the 11.5 is still slightly big.

These are sharp looking shoes and I enjoy the way they look. Unfortunately they don't provide enough support for my feet, both of which have suffered stress fractures in the past year, so that I experience pain after wearing them a short time. I plan on getting inserts and hope that will help me enjoy them more.

I bought these for my daughter who requested these specifically. Unfortunately, I ordered a size too large. She loves the shoes, but she is out of the country and cannot exchange them. My advise, is to double check size, whether you are purchasing these for a man or woman as the unisex sizing can be a bit tricky.

I don't know how Zappos could be more convenient or EASY. My very first experience a year ago: ordered a pair of shoes at 9:30 pm in a bar and they were at my door at 3:30 pm the FOLLOWING DAY. This order: my daughter wanted this pair and we went to several stores in Reno without luck. Ordered online and delivered in 1 day. Hard to beat that.

This shoe is a classic and brings back memories. Beware this shoe runs very large in size. I normally fit perfect in a men's 11 1/2. I ordered an 11 and still had room. I could have ordered a size 10 1/2 and they still would fit good. Also, no arch support at all.

These shoes are classics. I am definitely keeping them! You are not going to find the comfort in throwbacks like these, but who am I telling? You buy these because they are some of the freshest footgear on the market. If you are uncomfortable with these, do yourself a favor and go rock yourself some Crocs.

I love the color and style. They fit perfectly (I downsized 1.5) but due to the loud popping sound the shoes make with every step I take I have to dock at least a full star.

Great shoe overall. If you know CT you know they run big! Bought these for my husband who is an 11/12 and we had to return the 11 for a 10.5 which fits great! We love the red too, it's a fantastic color.

It's a Converse, so not much to talk about it. Either you like the style or you don't. If you do, you probably have already owned a few before, so anything I write, I would be preaching to the choir. Now if you never had one before, things to keep in mind: 1. You will be waking on a flat surface - no arch support, no raised heels. If you can't stand that, this is not for you. 2. These are really large, so do buy half a size smaller. 3. If 1 above does not bother you, these are really comfortable for day to day use, but definitely not for long walks. 4. Personally, I love the style.

Hi Zappers, they have a very right on time service. I got my shoes within 5-6 days of ordering them. Shoes are true to your size if you weigh normal. I wear boots of size 8 and I already have 7.5 converse shoes. I would say size 8 would be very comfortable for this item. I wish I should have ordered size 8 for this particular style otherwise for no rise canvas 7.5 worked good for me. They look nice though.
