Customer Reviews Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High-Top Sneaker

Image is everything!!! My nephew wanted All-Stars for his 11th birthday. Black mono-chrome, very big with the pre-teen set. Couldn’t find them locally, than remembered Zappos. We went online ordered and they arrived in 2 days!! Later saw them at a local store, same price, (non-returnable type store I might add). Zappos beat them hands down. I often buy my running shoes from Zappos and will continue to shop here.

Same as it ever was - Cooler than ever after 400 years of the exact same shoe design. Sure, you can feel every crack on the concrete b-ball court back behind my tenement house, but they look cool. And remember, it's always better to look good than to feel good.

They're okay, but... I've been wearing these sneakers religiously for 15 years. I swore by them, they were the most comfortable shoes out there...like wearing slippers all day. HOWEVER, the past couple of pairs I've bought have been anything but comfortable. Still a cool shoe, but I think I've bought my last pair.

Cannot Let These Classics Go - The look is good, the style is good and overall the grade is decent or good. However, you will be wise to invest in “ProFoot 2oz. Miracle Custom Molding Insoles.” These are better than regular “Dr. Scholl’s” insoles. In order for these insoles to be effective, order your normal size or one and a half size bigger for wide feet to implement these big boys. These insoles take up a lot of space and if you order a full or half size lower than your normal size your feet will be cramped with the insoles.

Sizing problem - I have found that Converse's unisex sizing is not true to standard sizing. For example: I wear a ladies 8 1/2 and I had to order a man's 5 1/2 (which according to Converse is the equivalent of a ladies 7 1/2) to get them to fit. Also, the cute patterned fabrics and colors do not even come in the smaller sizes so women can wear them. I doubt many men wear these jazzy colors, so why not make them in ladies true sizes???

Good shoe crappy price - These are really good shoes. But they used to cost a lot less like a year ago, what happened?

Classic Shoe - I ordered these for my husband for his birthday he has been wearing the white converse for over 25 years. Unfortunately the pair I ordered was a mismatch. Although they stated they were a 10 1/2 which he has always worn they did not fit correctly. I was very pleased with the service I got from you guys when I called to see what I needed to do to exchange them. I will continue to order my shoes from you!!

Converse All Stars are ok - I got a pair of these shoes for Christmas and they look really awesome! The problem is that they have no arch support and they are not good shoes to wear in cold weather. It's January and my feet about froze (I’m exaggerating)! I love the old skool feel though.

Pretty Good Shoe - I just got my first pair of Chuck Taylor's. They look great and are fun! However, they are somewhat uncomfortable because the bottom is just flat like all basketball shoes. Walking in them for a long time is difficult without experiancing discomfort. Because they have absolutely no arch support, I had to put arch supports in and therefore, the shoe hugs my foot pretty tight. Suprisingly, this feels pretty good. They also have no support higher in the ankle. Overall, they're a fun, very cheap shoe that need you to modify them a little bit for good arch support.

Poor durability and occasionally painful, but sharp. First of all, they're All Stars, so they have the 'classic' look down. Of course, they're ubiquitous, so if you want to be 'different' either get an atrocious color, or get something else. Something pleather. But still, they ARE classic, and for a reason: they look good. It isn't because they're comfortable, they aren't. They were designed in the 40's or something, so they don't benefit from all the new fangled shoe comfort designs. They have zero arch support. Unless you have low arches or are flat footed, expect occasional discomfort from these shoes. They also lace tight around the middle of the foot, and are fairly narrow as it is. On numerous occasions I've had to stop walking and rub my feet. I think it's putting too much pressure on some of the bones around the middle of my feet. I don't have wide feet, these are just narrow shoes. Also, don't expect these to be your 'everyday' shoe for very long, they wear out fast. The first thing to go in mine was the inside fabric at the heel. I started noticing a 'squeaking' sound (my foot rubbing the rubber on the back of the shoe) with every step after about a week or two of wearing them. Now (after 5 or 6 months), most of the fabric of the sole lining has worn away or come loose, especially at the heel. The rubber at the back of the toe part is starting to rip. I expect them to last another 2 to 3 months of casual use, which is very short lived for a shoe (or maybe just the types of shoes I wear). In summation: they're not very comfortable, and wear down pretty quick, but they look good and are VERY inexpensive.

Converse is my favorite shoe company, but these Converse don't last. They're comfortable and everything, but after 3/4 of a year of daily wearing, they started to rip at the heal and fall apart inside. They don't compare at all to the old Chucks.

A Classic - Love the look of the shoes but they do get uncomfortable quite quickly. If you buy a pair, buy some athletic insoles! I've had my All-Stars for less than 6 months and the outersoles are already coming apart! Plus on style, negative for comfort and durability.

Classic - It's been 20 years since I had a pair of these. I can't think why it took so long. I love them

Hi tops - When I ordered these and the low tos, I thought that they would be entirely different in color. But I couldn't make a decision between the two so, I kept both. The color scheme on website was misleading

Desription doesn't fit - I purchased the black "monochrome" Converse Chuck Taylor hi-tops. I took monochrome to mean that they were all black. When they arrived, I found a large Converse logo in white on the heel that was wasn't in any of the pictures.

The classic converse look is here. As a clown I was looking for an eye catching shoe that would be big looking on my foot. This does the trick! I will have to wear an arch support as this shoe lacks the support that modern athletic shoes have. But I will be one sharp looking clown!

My New shoes! I love the look! I knew that the comfort of these shoes were poor, that no fault of Zappos. the back ankle support hurts my heel, but I was prepared for the pain! I love the shoes! I only wear them to my shows.

Wow! Looks like you can’t even post a negative review ?

These were definitely fake converse. I've bought many pairs of converse over decades and these weren't real. They didn't come in a box and both the styling and the fit were slightly "off" in a number of ways.

they didn't fit so returned them.....very easy to return to Zappos. Thanks for that. They were for my husband.

Even less comfortable than traditional chucks.

All was great except for the laces. They both broke upon first use! Had to replace, and hard to find the extra longs that fit...Thinking there has been a drop in quality of them.

I last bought a pair of Chuck's 5 years ago--black low tops, women's size 7.5M--and they fit fine, so after reading some reviews and learning that the sizing still runs big, ordered the new high tops a half-size smaller as well. Ouch! These are a full size too small, and way too narrow!! Thanks, but they're going back, and I'm going back to flip flops & Earth shoes while I rethink my "need" for Chuck's.

Kudos for style but horrifying for comfort. Got plantar fasciitis so bad within lass than a week from just wearing them for an office job that I literally limped for a week.

I liked the style of shoe but the fit was a a whole size to big! I decided to go with a completely different shoe after ordering two of these pairs! Perhaps they will work for someone else!! Just not for me!
