Customer Reviews Converse Jack Purcell® CP Canvas Low Top

Just what the doctor ordered - I'm not a lover of running shoes. They make your feet look like small boats. I had a pair of the JP's years ago and liked the overall comfort. These "improved" JP's are so much more comfortable. When I intend to go sockless (the best way to wear these), I always buy a half size smaller. These fit very nicely and look ma, no blisters! If you're looking for a cool looking non running shoe, this is an excellent choice.

Same great style but comfort is much improved. Converse has really improved upon the original with these new Purcell’s. The tongue now has some padding so you don't have to worry about it sliding to the side of your foot and the rubber on the soles seems better as well. Overall I'd say they're pretty darn comfy and look good with all your gear.

Classic style, improved comfort - Before owning a pair of the slightly more expensive J.P.'s I was under the impression that there was no difference between the two versions. They look the same, but trust me, the difference is massive! In the extra money you are buying the ability to walk an extra couple miles. These are great shoes.

Comfy and cute! I ordered these as an alternative to the All Stars as I found those had no support whatsoever. These are very cute and now have additional cushioning so they are comfortable to boot! I only wish they came in more colors! They fit perfectly right out of the box. No break-in time required.

GREAT SHOE! My first pair of Converse is this style. I love them and the look goes with most anything. Hip and comfortable and I am happy I bought these.

GREAT SHOE - On a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the greatest your shoe was a 10.

Better than ever - Had owned a pair a few years ago, and liked the look and fit, but comfort was not great. New padding and interior finish now make them way more comfortable.

Great shoe - The only problem with the CP version of this shoe is that the insole is very thick. This makes for a cushioned, comfortable shoe, but the thickness tends to crowd my toes. I often wear them sockless as a result. Unlike many shoes, they are comfortable to wear without socks. The nickel shoelace ends look nice, but cause the laces to come untied because of their weight. In a sea of Chuck Taylors, these shoes stand out.

These tennis shoes are great - I find these shoes to be great fitting comfortable shoes and would recommend them to anyone!

Excellent craftsmanship-Kurt Cobain loved em' To all you people who are counter-cultural geeks, this is a bit of trivia for you. This shoe is worn by numerous celebrities including the late Kurt Cobain and if that isn't good enough for you then I don't know what will be. Also, this piece of illustrious shoe craftsmanship gives the aura of ultimate poverty and for you people who are broke or Boroque like the music then this shoe is for you. This economically laced rubber and metal rivet concoction is an excellent addition to the monetarily challenged individual. Also, with it’s ever ambiguity it creates an aura of I don't care which fits most twenty somethings, who just want to rock out. (These people are of course myself included in the mix). So, have fun, buy them, consume less and enjoy more.

Love this shoe - The white is so bright. They are a very comfortable shoe. They run a little big. The soles are kind of thin. But they are very comfortable even still. Don't need to break them in. I walked around New York all day without any discomfort. They are great with jeans. A great alternative to Vans.

Blast from the Past! I just love these shoes. I wore them as a kid and they are still as fun, hip, cool, and comfortable as they were back then.

This shoe is awesome...I've been wearing Chuck Taylors for over 20 years-not the most comfortable shoe, but loved the vintage look...But these Jack's are tremendously comfortable and they look great...very vintage!

Hail to JP - Love this shoe for Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. Converse has improved the shoe over time. I love the new colors. Keep up the good work Converse and I'll continue to support your ageless classic, Jack Purcell.

The Return of Converse - The shoes are great, the delivery was quick, and the price was very competitive. My first time shopping at Zappos, will do it again for sure!

Happy shoes - I love my white on white Jack Purcell’s. They are so comfortable. One day I have worn them for 16 hours straight and my feet felt great. I would highly recommend the shoes and Zappos.com.

Much more comfortable than the original, but looks the same.

The new insole technology makes all the difference with comfort. I never could wear these shoes before because of my high arch. But now they are made with the support of a running shoe.

Old school - Comforortable shoe. Fits true to size. Very lite weight. Good summer shoe. This is a flat shoe, don't look for arch support!

These are my favorite shoes of all time! I order a pair of Jack Purcell's every 1-2 years! They are a really cute, retro-looking pair of shoes, and they look great with everything from shorts to jeans! They run about a 1/2 size big, and I have to admit that they look better on a smaller foot!

Still a classic! It has been about 30 years since I last had a pair of Jack Purcell canvas tennies but these are and will always be a classic! The redesigned insole provides better comfort and support than the originals but they are otherwise unchanged and look great!

Well, I have been wearing these shoes every week for the last six years and I gotta tell you, they are just FAB-U-LOUS!

Classic Jack Purcell - With many of the other reviewers recommending 1/2 size smaller or 1/2 size bigger, I worried a little about what size to order for myself--should I go up in size or down? I'm a perfect size 8, which is the size I ordered, and my tennies fit great! I wore them to work with my black pant suit that I've had for years, and three women complimented me on my outfit. :)

Jack Purcell - Overall the sneakers are comfortable. They go with just about any pair of shorts or casual capris and jeans too!!

Best sneaker ever! I love these things! The changes they've made to increase the comfort are great - the look of the shoe isn't significantly changed at all.
