These are the best shoes around for dancing (street styles). They are sturdy and durable, light and flexible and leather actually breathes better than canvas. Plus, you gotta have shell-toes! These are perfect for people whose feet get crushed by Adidas Shell-Toes. Make sure you go for a full size smaller than what you'd wear in Pumas or Adidas. Converse are boats!

Bought Converse Jack Purcell in Leather for my son (19). He loves them. Says they fit just like his other Cons.

These shoes look amazing and have more cushion and support than Chuck Taylor All Stars.

I've owned these shoes for a few months and am very satisfied. The leather is very nice and much easier to clean (important for white shoes). Paint from the eyelets does rub off on the tongue of the shoe at the beginning, but no big deal. Not too difficult to clean off.

I live in these almost literally. No problems with them per se although I guess with seasons they differ slightly from time to time i.e. the tongue was thinner on the more recent pair than the first. The first pair had metal tipped laces which was a big problem as it made them heavy at the end causing the laces to untie themselves almost constantly.

Fits true to size, nice, clean and comfortable. Holds up pretty well to wear and tear. I wear these with the Converse low top socks that don't show and fit perfectly to the cut of the shoe. The sole is flat with hardly any grip so be careful with slippery surfaces.

Great shoe! My daughter loves them and they go with so many outfits. The leather is great. I love that they can be wiped clean. We were so happy with how quickly we received them.

Really like the style of these shoes. Wore them to an all white masquerade party in Jamaica and got a few compliments. Cheapest price was here when I searched also.

Was true to size, even though the bottom of the sole is shown as black, it's actually a light blue. Not that big of a deal. Overall looks good and because it's leather, you can wear it out at night when hanging or drinking with friends.

Love 'em, just love 'em. Brings me back to my good ole school days. These were the shoes to have. They are still just as comfy as I remember. Maybe they will catch on again. They are a good early day shoe to wear for fun times.

Love these. They are super cute. The leather needs a little time to break in, but no blisters yet! Glad I bought these.

Perfect fit! I have a wide 8.5 size feet and this size 9 medium are perfect. The front are a little wider than a typical medium size. The high quality soft leather are very classy, goes very well with khakis (slacks, cargo pants or shorts). The classic, clean and simple style catch a lot of attention. I wish they have other colors in leather. I'm ready to order another pair before the stock run out. Thanks Zappos for your fast shipping.

I would like to begin by saying the Zappos delivery was very fast and the packaging was excellent. Now, about these shoes...they're simply great. The look and the feel are terrific. People always ask me where I got them (in full leather they're kind of rare). Unlike the Chuck Taylor All Stars shoes, which look very good but don't feel very good, these Jack Purcell's have a thick insole that gives exceptional support and comfort. I found the shoes to be true to size - unlike the All Stars in which you always have to go down a half to full size.

I could no longer wear my Converse All Stars (I now need a wider width and Converse doesn’t offer it) and chose these as a substitute. They’re okay. Could use more arch support, but mostly I wear these for the look.

Love the shoe and love the look. The leather is incredibly stiff and even after a year, it still pinches at my toes. I can’t walk far in them and basically treat them like a pair of heels: cute but not at all functional.

Very nice shoes, decent leather, comfortable. Only issue is the leather is stiff on the Achilles area right out the box. Hopefully it breaks in good, i was wearing thin socks at the time too.

I love the shoes, but unfortunately the shoes I received were not the same as the shoes advertised on display. The shoes in the displayed picture say "Converse" Jack Purcell on the rubber heel of each shoe. The shoes I was shipped don't carry the Converse branding on the heal, only the Jack Purcell signature.

I love the look of these shoes and that is the reason I am keeping them. However, they do tend to be raised higher than I expected in the back so it cuts into my ankle where I had to wear bandaids for a while. I ended up getting some insoles where it would raise my heel and it would make it ok now.

These shoes have really comfortable, cushy soles, unlike regular Converse shoes. The outer leather material is stiffer than it looks and tore my heel up something awful, but once they're worn in it's fine. I would recommend getting those sticker cushion things that you can put inside the heel to prevent sores until it the leather gets softer.

Awesome shoes. I have wide feet so I got leather so I can stretch them because I already knew these are narrow shoes. Problem solved. I had to get gel insoles to raise my heel a bit because the back of the shoe kind of digs in to your heel... Hey look super cute and I love them!

This shoe looks great and fits well. I have bought this 4 years ago, and it is still holding together well! The only complaint is that the siding of the sole tends to detach a little bit, and I have to use some super glue to hold them back together. This happened shortly after 1 year.
i would say this shoe scores really high in style and versatility, but durability maybe 3/5!

These shoes are great, I love them. Typically, I am a women's 7, but these felt a half size small. For women, I would recommend ordering a half size up. I agree that the previous details are missing, but these still are great looking shoes. Love the leather too.

Awesome sneakers! Though the shoe is a just slightly narrow, the shoe is very comfortable. The fact that it is leather and allows your feet to breath is great. The arch support is just enough for casual wear and some light recreation. These look great with nice jeans. Can dress them up or down. Definitely my go to sneakers now. Just got my first pair and will definitely not be my last.
