Customer Reviews Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Low Top Sneaker

A sneaker for all seasons and all reasons - I've worn Chucks for decades, ever since I was a kid (I'm 53 now). They're the only sneaker I care to wear. In fact, lately they're the only footwear of any type that I wear (ok, I do have a couple of pairs of Jack Purcells). No, I'm not a slacker or an aging surfer - I'm otherwise pretty much a responsible professional person (a physician by training) who often dresses in a suit and attends formal affairs. On those occasions, I just slip on my black monochrome Chucks (I refer to them as my "Chuck formalwear") - which go great with formal attire -and spend the evening in comfort while everyone else is suffering in their stiff wingtips. I just wore my monochromes to a wedding this past weekend. I wear them to funerals too ... they express just the right sense of tasteful dignity that such proceedings require. On less weighty occasions I wear less formal Chucks of different colors, depending on the situation and my mood at the time. Oh, and you can't beat the price either. Why would anyone pay $200 for the latest flash in the pan sneak which will be uncool next season, when for 30 bucks or so you can buy a timeless classic that will never go out of style?
