Customer Reviews Converse Jack Purcell® CP Canvas Low Top

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.

They're clean and simple - I like these shoes for how clean and simple they are - not the most comfortable or stylish of course, but they go cleanly and work well.

Super cute - not a ton of arch support and they run a little narrow in the toe area but I get tons of compliments!

Gift for my son - My son loved his Jack Purcell's. They are just what a hip college student wanted. I was glad for the free return option. The sneakers ended up fitting perfectly, but it was reassuring to know we could have sent them back for free if need be.

Good Looking Shoe - Good looking shoe. I rally like it. It runs about .5-1.0 size larger than nice. Get a half size smaller than normal. As for comfort, it’s a shoe that has been around for 30+ years (how comfortable could it be). I bought it for looks. It's not uncomfortable but I wouldn't go play a game of basketball in them. Hope this helps.

Great shoe, wish it had more arch support though - Very good-looking and inexpensive shoe, much cleaner-looking than the Chucks. I wish it had more support thought b/c it can hurt if you're on your feet a lot.

Purcell's--Cute and Comfortable - Exactly what I expected. Slightly more supportive and comfortable than regular Converse :)

Comfy but narrow - They feel just like they did in the 60s.

Old standard - This shoe is not the shoe I remember wearing 15-20 years ago, but it is nicely updated with small touches that make it more comfortable.

Timeless classic - Iconic, simple styling. When clean could be worn with a suit. Hard to think of where I wouldn't wear these. Draw lots of comments. Retro-chic? Kitch-cool? Timeless classic.

Classic style - These were the shoes my dad wore and he had a great casual style. The shoe goes with everything.

Cute sneakers, will wear them often :)

Great shoe! The extra padding on the sides and the tongue make it a lot more comfortable than the old version of Jack Purcell. I just didn't like how the fit of this shoe is a half size bigger than marked. It makes my foot look really long. But overall, I love this shoe because it's so classic and goes with everything and anything!

35 years of Jacks - The shoe is comfortable though seems to be a bit narrower then the traditional Jacks I've been wearing for 35 years.

Great all around shoe - I love these....where I'm from no one has them so they look original. They are very comfortable and great to wear all day with no problems. My only complaints are: 1.) Being white they get dirty easy. 2) I got my correct size at first, but they were TWO sizes too big on me so I had to go down 2 sizes.

Great Classic - Great classic style. Like an upgraded Chuck Taylor shoe. A bit more comfortable and cushioned.

I've been buying and wearing Jack Pucells for decades, since I was a teenager in the '70s. I'm sad to say that these new ones are a watered-down version of the originals. They rubber bumper on front has become flimsy and dainty, as are the soles. Still nice sneakers, but not the sturdy, tom-boy sneakers I used to know and love. The fit and size (size 8) were fine.

I have always loved these shoes. They last forever for me. Just bought another pair to find that they are no longer made in the USA. The style is mostly the same but the rubber sole is a bit thinner and the canvas upper is about half as thick as they used to be. Time will tell if Converse has gone the way of Bass and Dr. Martens.

This is my third pair of Jack Purcells. Compared to the previous two they have removed many of my favorite details! Gone is the spongey insole and the contrast stitching. The "smile" doesn't quite look right either. I hope Converse will fix this in subsequent model years...the old ones were way better!

I normally wear a women's size 11, which NORMALLY translates to an EU size 41, maybe 42. I couldn't believe how large these size 11s were, and then I noticed the EU size is 43. Being a men's size to begin with, I expected them to run wide, and they do, but even with my slender foot, not too wide.
