The shoes were purchased as a Christmas gift for my granddaughter. The shoes were great, but were not the style that she wanted. They were returned and another pair was selected. Thank you for your excellent, prompt service.

I got these shoes for my sons, and they love them. They look very long and narrow but somehow, they end up fitting. Both of my sons have high arches, but the shoes fit well.

I bought these for my husband who has very wide feet and wears Chucks, too. These were instantly comfortable and he gets compliments on them all the time. I had tried the PF Flyers, too, but they weren't quite right. Jack Purcells are a great choice for a basic daily casual shoe!

I love this shoe! It is more cushy and comfortable than the regular Converse shoes and seems to be higher quality construction. Important: the fit is true to size! I am used to ordering a full size smaller in regular Converse shoes, but these fit great.

Great shoes, just like when I was a teenager. Comfortable and stylish. They match my 1950 Merc. How cool is that? Arrived in a timely manner, a free shipping special and all. Thanks Zappos for staying current.

Love 'em. I usually wear Chucks and went with these because I love the little smile on the front. The sueded insole is supple and cushy. The lining seems to be of a softer material too (in comparison to Chucks). I have relatively wide feet, so they feel a little narrow and I had to go up a half size than usual which then causes slippage on the heel and a little blistering. But I noticed that wearing the shoes looser helps. They are my favorites and so versatile with shorts, pants, dresses, etc.

Goes great with everything. A little tight at first but after I stretched them out they were perfect and comfy. I wear them almost every day!

I love these shoes. They are better built than the more popular and well known Chuck Taylors. It\'s in the details. Thicker padded sole, lined tongue, and metal tipped shoe laces.

Comfy, creative and cool. This shoe runs true to size and is honestly one of the best deals out there for a good quality shoe. \r\n\r\nI was in a wedding and all the groomsmen rocked these instead of those plastic tuxedo shoes. \r\n\r\n

I purchased these shoes for my fiance to wear on our wedding day. They were always one of his favorite shoes. He was so happy when he got them. He said they are even better than a few years ago, much more comfortable!

Love the shoes, of course. I've owned a dozen pairs and keep coming back. But what I really love is how fast I got them! I'm super busy and have no time to shop. So it's great to come home and see new shoes on my front porch. And free shipping is the best!

CONVERSE JACK PURCELL -
My daughter is a first mate onboard a Major cruise liner and I am forever sending 2/3 pairs of Jack Purcells. With the type work she does onboard these are a must. Well, mom is on to them as well. I just adore the feel and comfort.

These shoes look great. Simple and understated, yet unique. They were very comfortable until they wore out. One of the most comfortable pair of shoes I have owned. I wore them several days each week for about 5 months and they are falling apart. I do not do a lot of walking, probably less than five miles total by the end of the day if you add it all up. There are exception days that push the daily total closer to ten, but the average is probably 3-5 miles every day. The edge of the sole is all tattered looking, the little label on the back of the sole is torn and falling off, the edges of the cap on the toe are torn and flapping about. For this price, I expect shoes to last longer than this. I am extremely disappointed. Zappos is a great thing, but these shoes are not.

I love these shoes. I just got them and they are already my favorite pair. Very comfortable and can wear anytime. \r\n Also the service from zappos was great. I\'m a first time customer and got my order sooner than expected and was sent emails letting me know information about the order. Better than most experiences I\'ve had with other online stores.

Great looking casual sneaker. True to size, I'm a 12. I wear them always sockless with tan or grey khakis and always get compliments. The additional padding/lining provides much improved comfort over Chuck Taylors.

The Jack Purcell's arguably look a little goofier than the Chuck Taylors I've worn for years, but I agree with the reviewers who say they are more comfortable. Also, I found my size 11 Purcell's to be the SAME SIZE as my size 11 Chuck Taylors, so if you have Chucks, I'd recommend ordering the same size. (Note, however, that I wear 11.5 in Nike, Saucony, and Adidas; so based on my limited experience, order Converse canvas shoes a half-size down.)

Perfect casual shoes!!!
I am an athlete/tomboy who mostly lives in flip flops and sneakers when not at work. I normally wear Asics Tiger Onitsukas, Pumas, or Adidas but saw this pair on someone and thought they were really cute. I got them Friday afternoon and wore them to a party/bbq that night and was totally comfortable all night (until almost 3am on my feet the entire time). Definitely recommend these! I wish they had them in red! I got them in a woman's 7 (I am normally a 7.5).

I love these shoes so much! After years of wearing Chucks, the squishy soles that line this model feel so decedent. I also sometimes use my green Superfeet insoles for a change; it is so nice that the original insoles are removable. I wear these with jeans or shorts and they look very classy.:) They are perfect for walking all around campus all day or for shopping. There are only two problems I have with them: 1) They are not as durable as Chuck Taylors. After 2 months of almost-daily wear, the rubber up on the tops started cracking where it met the fabric. Also, the soles seem to have worn out really quickly. I have had them for about 5 months and the back of the heel has worn away from the bottom of the sole, so there is a small gap on the bottom of each shoe near the "Jack Purcell" logo. The tread is also almost gone from the bottom. 2) The white fabric gets REALLY DIRTY!!! Like, almost black on the tongue of the shoe where the shoelaces rub all day. Is this dark color from the metal in the grommets? I don't know. But it's really bad. Also, the shoe laces come undone easily. Overall, though, I am happy I found such cute and comfy shoes and I'm going to buy another pair even if they don't last forever! (But I will probably buy black ones).

LOVE MY JACKS!!
I LOVE my JACK PURCELLS!! They are cut big, so get a half size smaller. Mine are actually a women’s 7.5 and usually wear an 8.5 and sometimes an 8 but never a 7.5. I have the white ones and plan on getting the black next.

Love these shoes!
I wore these every day for 3 weeks on my vacation and they are great. Very comfortable and perfect for city treks. Zappos is awesome - It was a last minute decision to get these and I was able to get these in a day just in time for my trip.
I am definitely buying another pair from Zappos when these break down.
They run a half size smaller - I normally wear a 9 but had to get these in a 9.5 for a perfect fit.

Good shoe -
A very comfortable, casual shoe. Other reviews said this shoe felt a 1/2 size too small, but I did not find that to be the case.

I feel that this is a great fitting sneaker. It is also able to be worn with multiple types of clothing. The order was fast and efficient, I would recommend this shoe Converse has been around a very long time, they are true classic shoe.

Very Comfortable -
Some months ago I developed severe lower back pain, which after days of care and treatment only got partially better. I tracked the source of the pain to a couple of things one being the heel on my regular sneakers that I wear when I am out for a casual outing or running chores.
I reluctantly ordered these on the advice from the kids in my family - reluctantly because I believed these are worn only by kids and young adults.
I was wrong - I now love these shoes.
They are extremely comfortable - I almost feel like I am walking barefoot, with none of the discomfort of walking bare foot outside.
The benefit of wearing these shoes was immediately evident to me. The first time I wore these I returned home from my usual weekend chores and I wasn't feeling the normal pain in my calves that radiated to my lower back. At first I wasn't sure if the benefit was due to these shoes, but the relief and comfort was evident every time I wore these.
I love these sneakers - they have helped me rid of my back pain - they are not only very comfortable, they also look fairly nice.
I almost got the regular Converse sneakers, but some how they looked awkward on me - then I found the Jack Purcell's and they looked much nicer.
Also, just order them in the size that you wear in your regular shoes - don't go a size up or down. I first got a pair that is one half size smaller and I can only wear them comfortably without socks.
Also - Zappos rocks. Their service has been very good. I have bought a few shoes from them since I got the first Jack Purcell's and there is never any delay or quality issue. Their return service has also been very good.

Great summer sneaker!
I am very happy with my new white Jack Purcells! They will be a great summer sneaker. The arch support is better than regular Converse (I don't think I will need inserts while I definitely need inserts with my Converse). I like that they are all white with the small blue line on the toe. Very classy sneaker!

Sporty shoes -
The shoes fit to size. There is little padding or arch support, so don't plan on doing rigorous activities. But for a clean, classy look- these guys are it. I did buy new shoelaces. The original laces are a little long and flap around. Get white 43" laces for a buck and you are on your way.
