Customer Reviews Converse Jack Purcell® CP Canvas Low Top

I've been wearing Jack Purcell's for 20 years. This is the first pair I've bought since Nike took them over. They've changed a couple things. Sizing seems slightly larger, added padding round the ankle and metal aglet with the logo stamped out.

I like the style of these shoes better than the Chuck Taylor's. Beware that these shoes are narrow. If your feet are even moderately wide get a half size bigger. I wear a 9 in Chuck's and a 9.5 in JP's.

Classic white sneakers. Perfect for the summer. They have a soft sole, but have a tendency to be tight around the sides of my feet. Maybe I need to break them in. Either way, I love these shoes and have for years.

Feels sturdier and better made than the originals. Laces, cushioning, lining, etc are all higher quality while still maintaining the classic look of the original.

I like the look of the shoes, but wearing them for an entire day may not be so comfortable. I've gotten other Converse that ran big, so I chose the same size as the slips. Usually I'm a 12 1/2, so I usually get Converse in 11 1/2. These, I would say, 12 would be good.

Classic style, timeless look, and comfortable footbed. However, I had to return mine because of how very narrow they are. I normally have to order a 2E wide, and have trouble finding casual shoes that aren't painful to wear. I'll give the lace-up Converse All-Stars a try as my slip-ons were great. Thanks Zappos for making everything so easy and painless!

These shoes are super cute and sturdy, but the sizing is a little small for women. I usually wear a 7 or 7½, and so I ordered the 6 men / 7½ women, and they were too small.

I'm a dedicated Converse fan. A decade ago it was only Chuck Taylor's, but once I was turned on to the more comfy, more stylish Jack Purcell's I've never looked back. This is probably my 4th pair in 10 years.

I have had dozens and dozens of pairs of Chuck Taylor's over the course of my lifetime, and decided to branch out to these. I love them! The look is very similar to Chuck's, except the shoes are better made and have some arch support and some tongue padding. They are very comfortable! The most important thing I can say is that because they actually have cushioning, they do NOT fit the way other Converse do. I ordered my "Chuck's size" (6) and had to return and get the size I wear in other sneakers (7).

The distinctive Converse! Stylish, comfortable, looks great in every casual setting. I need to force myself to wear something else.

I originally ordered these shoes for vacation purposes, (Disneyland and Mexico) but have found that I wear them far more often than I thought. They are super comfortable and I get compliments on them all the time. They are a great everyday sandal, but I also love the fact that they can be worn in water. I'm very happy with this purchase!

They are exactly what you expect. Cool looking, not terribly comfortable for standing around in, but fine for when you don’t have to be on your feet all day.

The lining of the upper and of the removable insole has a synthetic feel, though it may indeed be cotton. Either way, my feet stay dry when I wear these shoes without socks, and it would seem Converse has designed the shoes with that wearing preference in mind. The shoes are very well made and superior materials are used. Just check out the quality of the laces. The navy Purcells look good, but white ones would have looked more streamlined. I just didn’t want to have to deal with a white pair showing dirt. Then again, I am so pleased with the pair I have that I may order a white pair for limited wear in fair weather.

I have come to the conclusion that Converse of any shape and size are not suitable for tall people. I'm over 6 ft and this is the second pair of Converse I have tried. Both pairs have been very uncomfortable.

I will like these once they break in, but they\'re quite stiff out of the box! I think they are slightly bigger than my All-Stars of the same size.

A nice change from the All Stars everyone is wearing, and more comfortable, too. No arch support to speak of, but the insole is very bouncy. Got the white ones and will probably get a darker colored pair in the fall.

I normally wear a man's size 4 Chuck Taylor and although the size chart on Zappos has the Jack Purcells at a half size larger, I found them a lintel on the tight side. I would recommend ordering a whole size larger they you would commonly wear in a Chucks. That said, I was amazed at how quickly Zappos shipped my order with free shipping no less. I've shopped at Zappos before and I could say their customer service and shipping methods have only improved.

Great shoes, fit true to size and go well with shorts and jeans\/khakis alike. I think they\'re a little more sophisticated than the Chucks so if you want something comfortable to wear to a polo match or something I would recommend. Soles are pretty soft which can be weird at first.

These shoes run smaller than your ordinary Chucks. I wear a 9 in the Converse All-Stars and needed to up to a 10 for the Jack Purcells. Real comfy, though. Like Chucks but with a slightly padded tongue and a bit more cushion under the sole.

I love the looks, but smaller and less comfortable than other Converse I have. Very bright white.

Jack Purcell\'s are a classic. I\'ve worn them for years, and they are just as great as ever. I get a new white pair every spring because I have this thing about them looking fresh. My only issue with them is that on the last pair I purchased, the white on the rubber part around the edge of the shoe seemed to kind of chip off like paint, leaving them raggedy looking. I just got another pair and will see if that happens again. I\'d hate to think that they are not as good as they used to be.

Bought these a half size smaller than my typical shoe size, and while they were fine with regard to length but were just not quite wide enough for me so I ended up returning them. I really liked the style, however. I should say that Zappos has an incredibly easy return process. Also, I ordered a new pair of shoes from the site at about 10:00pm last night and was upgraded to overnight shipping. I checked UPS tracking and the shoes are scheduled to be delivered today. Much kudos to Zappos for an insane shipping turnaround. Assuming they always have the shoes I'm looking for, I'll be a Zappos customer for life.

I really like this shoe. It is cute with skinny jeans. They are also more comfortable than Chuck Taylors, with a little bit more support.

My new sneakers are great. I wear a 9, but the 8.5 fit perfectly with a lightweight “Ped” sock. Which was what I had in mind. Yes, I can see a bit of breaking in, but that’s to be expected from almost any shoe. And, no, they’re not the same quality as fondly remembered, but what is these days? One major negative: the shoelaces are HORRIBLE. Nylon with metal points that clack around when you walk. I’ll be replacing with cotton shoelaces asap. Overnight delivery. Zappos rocks as usual. Thanks.

I've been a customer of Zappos.com for quite a while already. The service has always been excellent and the products are always in excellent quality! My recent purchase -- Jack Purcell is a good shoe. Appearance wise, it's really my type. However; it's not a comfortable shoe for great distance walking (based on my experience). But of course, people have different preferences.
