Customer Reviews Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High-Top Sneaker

I know all about CT All Stars so I knew to size down. Plenty of room in the toe box. The issue was the width right before the toe cap. It NEVER broke in. Blisters on the widest part of my feet every time I wore them, which is saying something because I can almost get away with Narrow width shoes. It was just the oddest shape of any CT all star I’ve ever seen. Wondering if they were irregular. Bought pair of the “throwback” 1970’s CT all stars (not the same as these) and they’re awesome and supremely comfortable. Didn’t even alter the size I picked. Weird.

They’re converse so you can’t go wrong. Reason I didn’t give them five stars for overall is because I had to throw them away yesterday after only six months of use. The rubber sole wears fast on the heel, so much so, that the converse label disappears. Happens with all my converse shoes so probably the sole or how I walk in them.

I wanted to like these, I REALLY wanted to. They're the coolest ever. It's just that after almost a year of ownership, I STILL have not managed to break them in. The toe-box rubs VERY uncomfortably on the outside edge of both my feet, putting blisters there. I am going to try the 1970's ones and see if they're better. Good luck with these as they really are awesome looking! ALSO, I indicated they "felt a full size larger" because if I had bought my typical size, they WOULD have felt larger. Instead, I bought a size smaller, which is what everyone should do with these. The length was fine having done that. It was the width that hurt me.

Too dame big I wear a 11 in woman’s and I got a 9 in men’s cause that what they said order men size they was too big I will be returning them !

These are the almost the only shoes that I have worn for like thirty-five years. I always wear the same size, which is a smaller size than I wear in other shoes. But because I wear these shoes all the time, it feels more like the *other* shoes are sized too big! But in the last few years a real problem has emerged with these shoes. Lately the sole has been separating from the main part of the shoe (sorry I'm not a shoe technology expert!) on literally every single pair that I have owned. This has happened on literally every single pair that I've owned long before the tread goes bad or there are holes in the canvas or cracks in the rubber. I think they switched up the glue at some point in the last five to ten years. Whatever change they made, though, it has really taken its toll on the quality of the shoe. I regret to say that I can no longer recommend, and may not even continue to purchase, Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars.

Squeaks.

So the size 13s were about the right length but the width is too narrow for me. Disappointing but not a surprise. The shoes looked OK but my smallest/fifth toes felt like they were in a vice. I am keeping the size 14s to wear when lifting but not to wear around the general public since they do look like clown shoes on me and I'm returning the 13s. I believe a 13 1/2 would be good, maybe. If they ever start making them I'll gladly give them a go.

Liked a lot about this shoe - classic styling, narrow feel, availability in 1/2 sizes above size 10, etc. But it was just not supportive enough in the arch and the foot rolled inward. Ended up keeping a different, more supportive Chuck Taylor.

My high heels, my sneakers, my sandals and my flip-flops are all size 9. My cowgirl, my ski and my fashion boots are all size 8.5. Upon reading the reviews, I ordered a size 8.5. It was so big it felt like a 9.5 and it looked on my feet like a size 10 :( I ordered a different color but in size 8 and that was actually true to size, it felt like an 8. It was killing my feet. I loved the pink color but it seems Converses are not for me because they just don't fit right; their size is either way too big or painfully small...

Love the style but the fit was strange on my feet : (

12 year old daughter loves the look of this shoe, but it has almost no footbed cushion and no arch support. Even though it's a high-top, the canvas is so thin there is little ankle support as well.

Not comfortable at all! Needed to by arch support insert. They look good though

Nice looking show, however very tight on my wide foot.

Converse haven't changed since I was a kid. I couldn't wear them and neither can my daughter. She has flat, wide feet. She so much wanted these to fit because they are adorable. Alas, they didn't and we returned them.

My 15 loves converses she has these in black, but for some reason she didn't like the navy color so it's a return.

This is a great shoe. My son has been wearing them for almost 6 years. The downside is they don't last long. The shoe starts to break at the seams. We've bought about 2 a year even though my son just wears them to school.

Love these sneakers but my feet are just too wide, I don't think converse are the right brand for me. I wish they made wide widths, or even made their normal width a bit wider as I don't wear wide in any other brand.

It'll tell you to order a size larger than normal but don't do that!! Order the size you normally wear and it should fit just fine

not enough support

Classic shoes with minor but notable problems. As most say, they run big, so you can order a full size less than normal and likely be okay. One thing I've noticed with the high-top Chucks in particular is they sometimes make a dopey sound when you walk. This is not too fun and doesn't seem to happen with the low-tops. This noise doesn't always happen, but when it does, it is hyper annoying. Anyway, people (including me) will probably keep buying Chucks until the end of time, even though they're not perfect.

I guess I have to accept the fact that I just can't pull off Converses. They look like clown shoes on my feet. They're of canvas, so if it rains you're screwed. You'll be walking around with soaked feet for the rest of the day, and they'll be damp for a couple more days at the least. Also, there is absolutely NO arch support. Not the most comfortable shoe in the world, that's for sure. They are surprisingly durable, though--I've had mine for close to three years, and they just now are starting to fall apart.

Purchased these for my Grandson. This is the 3rd pair of the same shoe I have ordered for him. He likes the look and finds them comfortable enough. These are sized different so we have to order a size down from his normal size. Since his last pair was a mess he started to wear them right away. When I next saw him he told me this pair was a cheaper Knock Off. The Converse logo on the size is much thinner and he found the shoe was somewhat cheaper made. It was too late to return since he had worn them but I was very disappointed since I have been a long time customer of Zappos. I took a couple of photos but this site does not have the feature to post them.

These look great but I don't know why Zappos tells you to order a half size down. I did and the shoes are too tight. Almost uncomfortably so but livable. Next time I order Chucks I stick with my own size.

I'm probably just too picky, but I didn't find these comfortable at all. I'm not one to suffer through uncomfortable shoes, so maybe after 3 months they're better, but I'm not interested in finding out.
