Customer Reviews Converse Jack Purcell® CP Canvas Low Top

Mmm, Converse - I have had about 3 pairs of Purcells over my lifetime, and wore each pair many years before they fell apart. However, this is my first pair since Converse was absorbed by... was it Nike? The footbed is actually a lot MORE comfortable, and everything's a little bit thicker and cushier... BUT! I originally bought the same size I have always worn and had to return them. Something funky happened to the sizes... If you have had older Purcells, be sure to get a HALF size bigger than you are used to!

I love these shoes! I have always been a Converse girl, but I thought I would give the JP's another try after many, many years of getting the regular All Stars. These are GREAT! Way more comfy than the originals... they have arch supports now!! I have found my new lifelong shoe!!

My Jack Purcell’s- They took a couple of wearings for me to break them in. they hurt my pinky toe the first time I wore them for a long time. But... they are much more comfortable now. They look really cute though. They are cute shoes for girls!!

Awesome! I love these shoes! I swing dance and they are perfect for that because the bottom doesn't have much traction. When you first get them they have to be broken in a little bit because they tend to press in on your toes on the sides. Eventually they loosen up and are really comfortable.

Jack Purcell Tennis Shoes White on White- I love my shoes. I think they actually run one to two sizes to big. I had problems getting the right size but returning them through Zappos was so easy. They actually sent me the other pair before I shipped the other size that didn't fit. Excellent Customer Service. I will definitely buy from Zappos again. Keep up the good work!

Finally I find a pair of shoes I like! These shoes have such a distinct undeniable look. Looks best with a pair of short socks. They go well with anything. They are reasonably priced which is great. Zappos is great as always. Didn't have to return for another size, but you really should go for the 1/2 size below if you are used to Nike/Adidas sizes. Traction stinks in snow, but stays pretty dry inside due to the rubber toe cap. Some days it feels like the heel is slipping and other days it doesn’t. Color migration to socks will happen so wear some junk socks for the first week or so. A little wider than marked which is great because I have a little wider than normal foot. I will definitely buy this shoe again.

Received this shoe in less than a week. Wore them for the first time on the way out one really early morning and forgot the socks but I didn't get any blisters or weird rubbing. Felt very comfortable and even had support for my high arch. Great comfy everyday sneaker.

Zappos is awesome- I've ordered about 5 pairs of shoes from Zappos and I have been very pleased with the customer service and products received. Zappos has a great selection of shoes, excellent customer service (phone and email), and has shipped the shoes that I've ordered immediately after I placed the order. All shoes have been top quality. I've been extremely pleased with ordering from Zappos and will continue to do so. Their Web site is also up-to-date, providing current product availability and information. Thank you, Zappos!

Love 'em! I love the new Jack Purcell’s! I've been wearing Jack Purcell’s for years and was very wary of the redesign, but it's great. As good-looking as always and SO MUCH more comfortable! I wear them every day, and I'm on my feet a lot. Also, they are still veggie. No leather at all. Should be listed in the 'vegetarian shoes' section.

Sweet rides- What can I say; these shoes are a classic of Americana, and then some. My dad tripped out when he me wearing my JP's it took him back to his high school days. Great look.

Bought the shoes for a birthday present. Timely delivery. Unfortunatley, they were too small. Called the 800 number and had new size reordered. Very friendly service. All taken care of. Thanks.

Feels good - This shoe solved my problem of needing a very light tennis shoe. After having worn Tretorn canvas tennis shoes for years, I despaired of ever finding anything as good. Happy to have found this shoe.

Jack's back- Trend right, very comfortable, great buying experience.

Jack knows... Well if these shoes are good enough for Jack on Will and Grace, good enough for me. Love them to death and they are so comfy. Get old school, and buy these babies!!!

Jack Purcell cp - The black/white Jack Purcells are comfortable except the heel needs to be more protective. It gives me blisters on the ankle. I still love the look. The fabric is a little different from the older version. both are good. For the most part i love the shoes.

Jack Purcell/Old School Shoes - I used to be able to these shoes at almost any good sporting goods store,but those days are over with the advent of "super stores". Was going to order directly from converse,but I beleive they were a little more expensive. I have always hesitated buying shoes online,but I really wanted Jack Purcell's. They fit perfectly and are the real deal. Thanks

A Little Too Narrow - Great shoe! If you are basing your size off the size of your Chuck Taylors, you may want to go a size up. I have some what wide feet and usually wear a size 12. I got a new pair of Chucks and decided to try a pair of Purcell while I was at it (both size 12). With one on each foot I notice a definite difference in the width. The Purcells do seem to be a step up from the Chucks in terms of quality of material though. The shoe looks and feels great though (even if its a bit too narrow). I highly recommend it!

Jack Purcell Converse - Overall I love the look of this shoe and it is more comfortable than the originals. One corner of one shoe does rub on my little toe, other than that I love them.

Rockin! Gotta love them!

Purcells - Great, comfortable shoe. Looks great.

I love these sneakers!!! I used to wear these back in High School. They are a fun, comfy shoe that is stylish in that retro kinda way.

Great shoes! I love these shoes. They are very hard to find and you can't find a larger selection. Zappos has the better deals and better customer service.

Bob's Review - I am extremely impressed and pleased with all aspects of my dealings with Zappos!!

Awesome shoe, shipping - Great shoe, fits better than Chuck Taylor's. They have more padding than Chuck's, too.
