Customer Reviews Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Low Top Sneaker

A classic with longevity issues. These look great and, if you don't need arch support, are comfy enough to wear around town and work with both shorts and jeans (or a suit and Tardis). I go through a pair or two every year. Sadly, they just don't last that long. The soles wear down pretty quickly (exposing whatever cheap material the inside of the sole's made from). Sure, they're cheap enough that you can replace them without spending a fortune but then you're basically chucking a hunk of canvas and rubber into the nearest landfill...not so good for the environment. If only they lasted longer they'd be an even better shoe.

These lasted a good while, being primarily used to weight lifting, the inner sole only lasted a few months before I had to take them out and rock without them.

Half a size to big but I forgot converse run that way in general. I just wear a thicker sock with them.

Shoes fit pretty well in terms of length and width. There’s this flapping sound whenever I walk. Almost as if the sole is being lifted each time I walk, but other than that the shoes are nice and very stylish.

I usually wear a 7 to a 7.5, and so I got a 7 in these. Maybe a touch big still? But otherwise, I love them. Chucks are classics - stylish and simple. I've been wearing knockoffs for years because of the cost, but these are much better made and more comfortable. The charcoal color is like a dark grey tinged with brown, which means it can fit as a neutral in outfits that use either black or brown as a base. New favorites - will buy again!

The shoes run large. I ordered a half size small. With a full length arch insert (Superfeet or Dr. Scholes) they fit perfectly. Without the arch supports, I would order a full size smaller than the usual size. Use the European size equivalent to US sizes. The Euro sizes are accurate.

Could be more comfortable but they're great shoes that lasted a long time.

Fits true to size. Comfortable to wear. Overall a good pair of sneakers.

These sneakers are very cute and comfortable although not a lot of support. I did have to order a half size down though. Normally I am a size 10 1/2 or 11 and size 10 fit perfect so they really do run large.

Other than the laces being way too long great shoes that fit the same as orb Converse styles.

I go down a half size anyway with sneakers, so I ordered a 6 and a half like I normally do thinking it was like any other sneaker I usually wear. I needed to go down another half size to a six. So, down a half size from whatever size you normally wear. It's my first time trying Converse and everything else was what I expected. Good quality, classic looks and moderate comfort. Returning to get the proper size and then I'll be set.

I am an 8 1/2 and needed an 8. other than that very cute and basic. wear them all the time

Contrary to another reviewer, I need arch support, so when I have shoes without I insert an arch support. These shoes are cute and fun to wear. For me they will take some getting used to. I'm in my sixties, good shape, and yet I think I need more cushion in my shoes. I'm keeping these for around town.

Comfortable and stylish shoe

Chuck Taylors are always a must have in a person’s wardrobe repertoire. They are classics and go with just about everything casual, even sometimes formal. However, please note that they run a size larger, so definitely go smaller if contemplating these.

Chucks are normally too narrow for me but I like them, so I use a shoe stretcher to stretch them out and then they're perfect!

These sneakers look great, and are a bit narrow for my somewhat wide foot. I listened to the other reviews suggesting that I order 1/2 size smaller than my usual 10.5; size 10 fit me perfectly. Like all Converse All-Stars, they have basically no arch support at all; these are fashion shoes first, and really that’s about all. But they look great and... they’re Chucks.

Exactly what I was expecting

good product, fast delivery.

I’ve got a few pairs of converse because they go so well with jeans and whatever else I'm wearing. They aren’t quite as comfortable as Van’s, but a cheap pair of inserts fixes this. The biggest issue I’ve found is the sizing. The few pairs I own fit well, but sizing is inconsistent, so I read a few reviews here and decided to follow the ‘half size down’ recommendation. Well, a half size definitely isn’t enough, you can easily go a full size down (which I did with another pair that fitted perfectly). The half size down pair I easily fixed with some $1 inserts so not really an issue, more of an annoyance. I think any confusion regarding sizing stems from the US size and UK size being stamped the same on the tongue. There is no planet where US and UK sizing is the same, there is always one size difference because one system starts at size 1 and the other at size 0. Nevertheless, once you work out your size in converse, stick to it, they are a great sneaker, cheap, and look good with anything.

Had to exchange these and still they are a tad bit big but am going to keep. Love the look of these classic sneakers but they definitely ran a full size larger than my normal size 7. I have a 6.5 and could totally fit into a 6. I would recommend sizing down 1 size.

I generally wear an 8.5 and ended getting a 7.5 The color said gray but they are more of a cross between a gray and an olive green and I love the color ever better!

I typically wear size 6 in women’s shoes. Followed suggestions of a number of reviewers and ordered a full size down. The width and length fit well with a little wiggle room for comfy toes.

Took the recommendations and ordered downs size. I have narrow feet so was happy to hear others thought they ran narrow. They do but were perfect for me with room for insoles. Now so comfortable for high insteps.

It was recommended to order a 1/2 size smaller then normal and that was a great suggestion. I love these shoes. I have sent a couple of pairs to my daughter-in-law and she it the one that sold me on them. We now have the same color of shoes which I'm sure she doesn't want me to wear them at the same time.
