Customer Reviews Converse Jack Purcell® CP Canvas Low Top

Great looking sneaker, is what it is - Got a pair of Jacks in the same size that I normally get my all-stars. These sneakers run at least a half size smaller than all-stars and are more narrow, so you'll have to compensate the size when you order. Great looking. Nice laces too.

Jack Purcell Converse low-quarter classics - It's too early for me to determine at this time [received item as Christmas gift] if the off-shoring of this product takes it completely into the tank or if product improvement activities have done some quality adjustments. My sincere wish is that the quality improved over my last pair of Purcell's. The Jack Purcell signature label at the back of this show came off [half way of course, not completely] after about two months of wear. Very shoddy workmanship throughout on this shoe. However, with this newly received pair it's so far so good. The overall quality feel and look seems much improved. The familiar lived in feel is back. I have enjoyed Converse products for many many years [I'm 75 years old] and hated to see such a fine product off-shored -- but that is the way of the world today and I do love the Converse quality. I might just add that the Zappos website is a joy to surf and to use. Keep up the good work already on your website! Thanks for the opportunity to comment.

Cute but uncomfortable - Very cute retro stylish shoe. Zero arch support and the back of the shoe bites into my heel. I hope that they break in and become more comfortable.

Old-school sneaks - These are not the shoes I would choose to wear for a long walk, but they are comfortable enough and the style is worth it.

Great every day tennie - I'm usually an 8 or 8 1/2 but these shoes I had to go down to a 7 which has never happened before (on other brands). It took 3 orders but finally got it right with the women's size 7. A good sturdy everyday shoe. Highly recommended but with a warning about the size.

Jack Purcell Converse - The shoe felt 1/2 to a full size larger than I normally wear. Overall a really nice shoe.

Cool shoe to wear, but not comfortable - I ordered based on my size shoe and they run a little small. I had to send back the first time, but the second time they felt okay until I came home w/blisters. I wore band aids for a day or so and they have stretched out and my L shoe fits fine, but my right one does not. I would definitely order from Zappos again. They took the shoes back and paid for shipping and I had the other shoes the next day! Just be sure to know your shoe size. I will definitely shop here again.

The Sun never sets on a legend - Still the same great shoe with the same great look. Had a pair of these as a kid in the 60's. Still look great with a pair of jeans, ballcap and a beer in your hand.

You can't beat the look! I've been a fan of Chuck Taylor All Stars over the years as they have gone in and out of popularity. However, I am new to this particular shoe, so I cannot help but compare the two. These seem to run a full half size large. I returned mine for the smaller size and they were quite ample. They are also a more comfortable shoe. Also, they seem to be on the narrow side which works for me. I like them!

Great shoe, but not for all day walking - Great looking simple alternative to Chuck T's. Like all canvas shoes of this style: no arch support, and may rub and cause blisters if worn without socks. These shoes give me a blister ONLY on the little toe of my right foot! The heel may rub a little, but if worn with socks no problems, still I wear them all the time in the summer without socks, just not on the days when I'll be walking a lot.

Just a warning! I got the white on white sneakers, love the look but my sox were blue after wearing them for 2 hours.

Careful! These shoes turned the first half dozen pair of socks I wore with them blue! The inside of the shoe is blue, and somehow it bleeds into your socks.

Classic Jacks - I sided with the people who suggested ordering a half size smaller than you normally would. I would ordinarily wear 8 1/2- I got the 8 and was glad I did. I have a narrow foot, and though these feel narrow in the toes, overall they fit well and don't slip in the heel. Even the narrowness in the toe area I would describe more as "secure" than "uncomfortable". The laces are a great touch. Not just an afterthought lace, these laces harken back to the days of quality shoe making. I ordered the white ones, and they are just as sharp and beautiful as Brangelina's teeth. The sneaks work well with casual skirts, capris, and jeans... I find they fit better than the Chuck Taylor's, which I had been tempted to buy in a shoe store. If you, reader, are also tempted to buy Chuck Taylor's because they are easier to find- DON'T!! The Jack's are a better fitting sneaker, and probably more what you are looking for.

Jack's not a tennis star - These Jack Purcell canvas sneaks are de rigeur for summertime wear. They were a little tight (narrow) in the toe, but not a deal breaker. I got a half size larger, but still narrow. Gotta get white. BTW, Jack Purcell was a badminton star, so much for macho.

The original Jack Purcell is better - This shoe has an odd fit. I have been buying the original Jack for years. This one bulges at the heel when you walk, making it look like corrective shoes.

JACK PURCELL - The shoe was pretty comfortable and it has a good look to it. They could cut back a little on the length of the shoe strings. Even when tied, they hang on the ground. I would buy them again. It hasn't helped my jump-shot though.

All and all, I love the shoes. At first the seam in the back gave me a blister, and it felt a little narrow in the toe area(especially on the little toe). But, after some wear, they're a bit more broken in, and still look great. The best part is you can wear them with a bunch of different stuff, they look great with jeans, or you can wear'em with a pair of casual dress pants for a real cool, funky look. Wish I could find them in a dark brown!!!

A Classic Look - I love this shoe for it's look, and the dark inside sole. It's not something I can wear all day as it gets uncomfortable after awhile. Overall, i am very happy with it and am going to purchase some other colors of this same style.

My Jacks! First of all I wear a size 9 in most shoes but a 7.5 in all Converse brands, they run a size and a half too big. I love the way my Jack Purcell's look, they go with everything. They are pretty uncomfortable though. They hurt my right pinky toe pretty bad. (Maybe I just have wide, fat feet)

Classic but still applicable to today's fashion - Although I needed to get a half size smaller than what I usually wear, I now have the correct size, and they fit very well. They look terrific, and after only having worn them twice I have received numerous compliments. They will probably only get better with a little wear and tear, so I recommend these shoes to anyone who likes to be original.

Very simple and stylish for stay at home mom - I have always loved this shoe. You can wear it with jeans, khaki pants or casual skirt or shorts. It runs big but worth finding the right size.

Great shoe. Shoes fit great and I've received many compliments on them. Don't expect very good arch support, and the shoes may be a bit narrow for some wider feet, but overall an excellent buy.

Cute! It did take a few tries to find the size that fit the best, but overall, it was worth it (I got a white pair and they look so cute with jeans!). The shoes are still on the narrow side, but the length is perfect (I am an 8.5 in women’s and ended up getting a 6/men’s 7.5/women’s). I'm hoping that they will fit more comfortably once I thoroughly break them in.

Great shoe!! Mostly everyone out there has there pair or two of Chuck Taylor's...but you’ll be hard fetched to find someone with some Jack's on... This shoe is definitely more comfortable than the Taylor too. Plus I stopped liking stars on my shoes when I was about 3.
