I was pleasantly surprised when I received these and tried them on. They are so cushy! Definitely a different feel from classic Converse and I would say an improvement. The only thing I wish these shoes had was a little more embellishment. They don't have the classic black line along the bottom or the contrast stitching. They are still cute, but I think the lack of detail makes them look a little more generic. There isn't any real visible detail to identify them as Converse so they could be any old brand. Nonetheless, I still will be wearing them quite often and I'm sure my nice, comfy feet will thank me!

I got these in a size 10 to replace a size 9.5 pair of Chuck Taylors. I definitely got the right size - the Purcell's in 10 are almost exactly the same size as Chucks in 9.5. So, if anyone is replacing a pair of Chucks with these, try a half size up. They are far more comfortable than Chucks, and don't seem to have any break-in period. They seem better made and more substantial than Chucks as well. Unfortunately, they are kind of ugly-looking from certain angles. Chucks are just a cleaner, more streamlined, more classic style. But I just can't put my feet through that kind of abuse anymore, so Purcell's are the way to go.

Seemed Comfy at First -
Really cute sneaker. Looks great with skirts, shorts, jeans, and capris. Would be perfect for walking around town if they didn't give me terrible blisters. The first day I wore them I got huge blisters on my heels and my pinky toes felt really smushed and sore. 2nd wear I tried w/ socks and didn't get blisters but heel and toes still rubbed. Maybe they need more break in time in the toes, but I'm afraid heel blisters are inevitable because of the way the shoe rubs as I walk.

Classic with very clean fashion looks-cheaper than J Crew.
I love these shoes. I bought in all white and it’s a great look even with a navy summer suit with white cotton tee for ladies...kind of classic Katharine Hepburn look. I usually wear a size 8, if you want to wear bare feet you might want to order a half size smaller, I thought it is little too wide without socks.

Cute but not nearly as comfy as they should be -
I had to take the insole out and replace it with another one because they weren't as comfy as I wanted. They don't feel like a sneaker but more like a cute shoe you want to wear even though they feel a little off.

Old Time Jacks -
I had Jacks all throughout my teenage years and lived in them. I was so grateful to find them and receive them so quickly and affordably. I ordered a half size larger than normal because I need a wide shoe and the Jacks are available only in regular width. They look and fit fine, but are a little tight across the instep.

Very cool sneaks!
Okay, I did end up replacing the super-white laces with black ones but, other than that, I LOVE the look of these sneakers. Reasonably comfortable, too.

Great shoe, even greater service from Zappos -
I love these shoes; they're unique and you can't find them at the stores here. I actually was complimented the other day from a guy who collects limited edition shoes and asked where I got them from. I referred him to Zappos. I was surprised he saw me with these on.

Cute shoe but needs to be worn in!
I love the look of these shoes. I bought them because as a nursing student I need a white shoe for hospital training and I didn't want to wear the hideous traditional nursing shoes. However, I'm on my feet 5-8 hours a day and every day I come home with new blisters on my heals. I spend a small fortune on band aids to accompany these shoes. However, I do really like the style. Arch support is also really nice and the shoe comes with its own pull out insert.

Classy shoes -
I really like Jack Purcell’s, the look and comfort. However I noticed that after several times of wearing, the outsole near the arch of the foot starts to tear apart. My friend also had encountered this kind of problem. I'm planning to buy the leather version of this one, but after having this problem, I’m thinking of getting the Converse One Stars because of durability issues.

Looks great but arch support could be better -
Love the shoe, looks great. I put a Superfeet insert into the shoe to improve the arch support.

They are a little small and take a few miles and some blisters to break in. But they look great and go with everything.

Great classic clean look and a good summer shoe for walking about the city. Nice clean sharp look creating the feel of a more formal sneaker, but remaining beautifully casual. Works well with various shades of khaki colored pants. In a word, this shoe is smart.

Jack Purcell review -
Nice shoe, but I feel it could have a little bit heavier canvas on the upper. If you are hard on shoes and wear one pair a lot, the upper will wear fairly quick. Really love the look of this shoe though.

A classic -
Love my Jack Purcell's. They're slightly narrow for me, but I'm willing to break them in. They've got great classic style and look even better as they age. When they get too dirty, I put them in the wash and they've held up just fine.

Great white shoe -
Very comfortable, although I gave it 4 starts "overall" b/c I had to order a size down. No big deal. Love the shoe now that it fits. Clean, classic look.

I really like these shoes. They are better looking and much more comfortable than the chucks. I will buy more in other colors, I love them that much!

Cute shoes -
I've worn these shoes a few times without socks, and the inside is a little rough, but I think I'll get used to it. They have very cushy soles and should be good for lots of walking or standing. I ended up with a 7.5 which seemed a lot smaller than the 8 I tired first.

It's not Chuck T's but.....
Great shoe even though the look is just a shade different than what I thought it would be. That’s my fault. Other than that great comfort and it's a better quality than the Chucks.

I teach 9th grade and my kids think I am the coolest teacher ever because I bought the shoe they are wearing. I originally bought them because I thought they were cute. Who knew it would make me COOL. They are comfortable and stylish.

Shoe feels a little bigger than the same size in Chucks. More comfortable than Chucks. These look great.

Good shoe -
I got the shoe the next day, and I really wanted the green, but they discontinued it! Anyway, the shoe looks great, but the back digs slightly into the back of my heel, but that's probably because I haven't broken them in yet. Overall, a cool shoe.

Love the look...
This is my 4th pair of Purcell’s ~ my first non-white... The important thing to remember is that this shoe is not made for comfort. The 3rd pair I had to give away because I bought them in my regular size and my feet were thoroughly abused; lots of rubbing and blisters ~ not worth the pain. I went a half size up with this pair and so far, it's much better. I wear them purely for the look...

Great classic sneaker -
I wore Jack Purcells back in 1968 in Jr. High School. Even though the look has changed slightly, they are basically the same Jack Purcells from yesteryears.

Great old classic -
I wore these shoes when I was a kid, they still fit great. I have a wide foot and for a regular tennis shoe they fit great.
