Customer Reviews Converse Jack Purcell® Leather

These shoes fit me when I tried them on. However, the first time that I wore them (with socks), I walked about three blocks, and they were unbearably uncomfortable, cutting into my heel at the top edge. I have never been able to put them back on again, and Zappos will not take as a return.

I've loved Converse since middle school, and I've wanted this exact pair for years. I finally got off my wallet and ordered a pair after my Vans kicked it (I keep wearing holes in the TOPS). Anyway, they felt very good - good and broken in like a pair you've owned for years with about as much arch support you can expect from Converse. There was only one problem; they aren't white. The leather upper is off white--more of a cream color. The laces and rubber are bright, pure white, but the leather is not as pictured. Huge disappointment. Will be returning. Probably won't use Zappos again.

I had a black leather pair almost 2 years ago. Best casual sneakers I've ever had in my entire life. Best! The leather could have lasted a decade but the soles completely blew out after 18 months of heavy use. So, I go to buy another pair, I decide to go with white this time around. The shoe is totally different. It doesn't fit the same, the tongue doesn't have the little "jack purcell" tag, the laces don't have the cool metal ends. I had to return them. I could've lived with the absence to detail, but not the change in fit, comfort and quality. C'mon Converse. Jack's probably rolling over in his grave.
