Very cute shoe. Fits true to size. I ordered my normal size 8 1/2 and it fit perfectly. (FYI...the Chuck Taylor converse runs a little big so I normally have to get an 8 but this Jack Purcell shoe runs true).

Great shoes. Also, hit wrong button and got wrong size. So I ask to return and Zappos so no problem. Great company. Period. Take note competition. Thank you Zappos.

I have been wearing all stars and shorelines the last two years. I had other pairs in high school but that was a long time ago. I'm a women's size 9. So in the all stars I wear an 8. In the shorelines a 9 and in these a 8.5. These are longer in the toe box. A bit wider. I love them.

Original Jack Purcells, not the new, cheaper version that Converse is now selling. You can tell that they're the originals if they have the blue soles. Stock up before they sell out...

I bought these for my son. I ordered a half size smaller and they fit him perfect! I couldn't believe how quickly they were delivered to my front door!

I have been wearing Jacks for years & have not found a more comfortable & neatly stylish sneaker besides my running shoes. These are street ready for anything. They are true to size & look snazzy! Only bummer is that they used to be made in USA.

I buy a pair of Jack Purcell's every year When it starts to get warm. I loved everything about them. But Converse came along and apparently decided to make them less expensive to manufacture and then raised the price. The embroidered logo is gone from the tongue, the loop logo is gone from the footbed, the grommeted vents moved down and now overlap the edge of the soles, and overall the canvas and "rubber" soles have been downgraded. I still like them a lot -- but I no longer love them. I really wish they hadn't done that.

I'm normally a 5 1/2 in Chucks and got it in this size but it was a little tight in the front but not to the point where I can't use them. I really love them. I'm thinking of just getting a 6 next time these wear off.

I have had my Purcells for about 8 months and they have held up very well. Even though it hasn’t been a lengthy amount of time, here is my review of the shoes.
Durability
Like I said in the beginning, I have had my Purcells for about 8 months and have real no damage to them (yet). All the stitching, sole, and even the laces are holding up very well even though they have been through some harsh weather. I do have a shoe rotation therefore I do not wear them everyday which does help their longevity. I believe you would find them to last even if they are your main shoes.
Sizing
It terms of size, you would find them to be true to size. They fit and feel great however, they are a narrow shoe, therefore, if you have really wide feet, I would advise you to try them on first to see how they feel.
Style
The greatest part of the Purcells is indeed their look. I never had the old style, so, I cannot say how they compare but you would find them be very stylish. They go great with shorts, jeans, chinos, and even corduroy. You would find them to be your go to sneaker.
Comfort
The Purcells have a brutal break in time. Your heels and toes will have no mercy when breaking them in because of their quality build and narrow structure. However, after the break in time, they feel awesome even if you wear them without socks.

The shoes are adorable and perfect for casual wear but they do feel a little big. I ordered a 6 which is my typical size but had to wear two pairs of socks because they are a little big. Not the most comfortable shoes in the world, especially having to stand for long periods of time, but not a lot of shoes are comfortable these days.

Higher quality than Chuck Taylors, and, a bit more stylish, goes with almost any outfit. Got turned on to them by GQ.

I love these shoes! They are a great casual shoe that looks much sharper than athletic shoes. Planning to get a white pair in the spring.

These are my first pair of Jack Purcells, I usually wear All-Stars but I thought I would punch it up a bit. I bought the black and I really like them! They seem to be a little more grown-up and also have more arch support. They are a little long, I bought a woman's 8 and I probably could have gone down to a 7.5 but they're fine and I don't have to worry about my toes hitting the end if I walk a lot. Overall, cute and comfortable.

I'm very pleased with these. My only complaint is that they get a little narrow in the toe. It's not a style issue, but makes them slightly less comfortable than they could be.

I love these shoes. Most converse don't fit my feet well but these are very comfortable. I would definitely recommend these based on the fit and style.

The original! I love these Jack Purcells! Since the quality of tretorns has gone down since the 80's, I decided to resurrect another "tennie". These are substantial canvas shoe. Perhaps a big fashion don't, but I wear them with shorts, casual skirts and jeans (especially cute with boyfriend jeans) I would recommend ordering a half size smaller. I have a normal woman's foot and the Jacks are just a bit wide. I think that is due to men's sizing.

Love these shoes. I've always purchased Chuck Taylors in the past and I won't be going back. These are way more comfortable and stylish. Basically no break in period.

Just like "regular" converse (chuck taylors) but with a much more comfortable sole. I found that a 1/2 size larger than my chuck taylors are the perfect fit.

I bought these shoes for the style, and was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they are! I've walked extensively in these shoes without problems. Great summer shoe!

Definitely not the "classic" Purcells, as others have stated, missing logos & iconic metal tips on laces. That should really be noted in the product description. So that costed the star.
Other than that, they still have a classic look & are comfortable. For some, that may be a deal breaker.
