Customer Reviews Converse Jack Purcell® CP Canvas Low Top

One of my favorite shoes ever. It\'s a classic and goes with everything. Runs true to size and now more comfortable than ever. Can\'t go wrong with this shoe.

I wore these shoes all the way through middle school and I loved them. Now I'm a college student and needed a nice, simple, clean pair of tennis shoes to wear on the weekends so I figured, why not my Jack Purcells? The quality has definitely improved over the years; the soles are very cushion. I ordered a Woman's 8 and they are a bit snug, but since they're canvas they'll stretch a little. Overall, great purchase!

These are the perfect white sneakers. Sporty, but not sloppy. True to size and comfortable.I'm a true size 7 (woman's) and that's what I got. Good with jeans or shorts. Haven't had them for a long time, so not sure how they will handle dirt, but I think they are easily washable.

These shoes came up in conversation last February. My friend and I each had them when we were kids, 30+ years ago. I checked Zappos and there they were! I bought us each a pair and some toddler sized ones for her little girl. Back then we called them bumpers because of the toe. They seem even better now. A really nice feel to the sole. Also the (blue) sole is shaped like a boat shoe so they don't slip on wet floors. They are a little bit narrow for me but otherwise they are my favorite shoes. I like them better than ordinary All Stars or Chuck Taylors. And very much more than tired running shoes like I often wear.

Have been coveting these sneaks since I lost a pair over 10 years ago. The classics are pretty hard to find but, of course, Zappos had them. Waiting for a sale on these is futile, so I bit the bullet and ordered a pair. It was about 9:30PM when I placed my order and the shows were on my front porch before 10AM the next day though I had picked the regular free shipping, not overnight. I can't even wrap my head around that, it was so unexpectedly fast. When I put the shoes on, however, they were too big, and I called customer service about making an exchange. The agent told me she'd ship a new pair out, that I should return mine within 2 weeks and that from now on I was going to be upgraded to receive expedited shipping on all my orders at no charge. And, once again, the shoes arrived within 24 hours. I don't know how Zappos does this. Hopefully, we will not find out that they are a horrible corporation some day, killing baby pandas and decimating the rain forest, because I love them. I love these shoes, too. They are flatter than the modern shoes we wear today, but they have a good insole so they are not as flat as Converse All-Stars. They are a classic; what can I say? They're perfect. I wear them generally with no socks. My left foot is about a size 7.5 and my right is about an 8, and I got the 7.5, (men's 6), and that worked perfectly. Thanks, Zappos!

I bought these shoes because they're a bit more on the grownup side than Chucks, plus I'm not hip enough to wear those anyway. I had never owned canvas Converse shoes before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, turns out they are very comfortable for a shoe that doesn't have a ton of arch support. Nice padded sole, but not overly so. They look great in the summertime with khakis or shorts, too. They run slightly large (less than a half size, if that's possible), but they give you room for socks, which I prefer. You should probably Scotchgard them to waterproof and protect from stains. Mine already have some mud spots on them. Anyway, a solid recommendation from me. These are good shoes for the money. Classic.

I ordered them as a gift for my wife. I'm a loyal customer of Zappos and when my wife couldn't find them at any local stores, I went to Zappos! I knew I wouldn't have any problems getting exactly what I wanted with excellent service, as always.

The perfect Tybee Island retro tennis, beach, and boat shoe without being the overly popular Chuck Taylors and more importantly without little horses on them.

Shoe is awesome for kick arounds. Not the best as far as support. Runs a bit on the big side and the shoe strings are extra long, I have to double knot. But overall I love them, cute with boyfriend jeans rolled up.

These are really cute. True navy, and fit true to size.

Fun shoe. It's very comfortable even without an arch (which I prefer). Looks great with skinny jeans and shorts. Great to walk in. Pretty narrow looking. It doesn't feel narrow. I am wearing this shoe much more than I thought I would. I keep grabbing the Jack Purcells instead of the Pumas I just bought.

Love these shoes! They fit true to size, more so than my Chucks, which tend to run a little large. These also provide a little more arch support and look great. Highly recommend. Plus, can't say enough about Zappos...fantastic customer service. These were sent overnight and when I needed to exchange the size (because I thought I needed to go down in size), they sent me the replacements before I had even sent these back. Best service...bar none!

Great price point and fast shipping. However, I’m usually a 9.5/10 and the 9.5 feels pretty loose. I had planned on wearing them sockless in the summertime, but that isn’t really possible, so I’d probably suggest sizing down .5.

I've never owned Converse, and wanted to get a casual and lightweight pair of sneakers. In comparing the Jack Purcell to the All Stars, I settled on the JP, just because they looked sturdier and more stylish. Having worn them now for over a month pretty regularly, I love them. They're lightweight, but include a better sole, structure, and (in my opinion) look than the other Converse. Compared to other sneakers, you have to keep in mind that these have pretty much no tread and very little support. But when you're buying Converse, that's typically what you're looking for. Pros: Lightweight body (walls, mostly), classy-looking sneaker, comfy sole (at least as compared to the All Stars). Cons: You won't be using these in a marathon; but then you wouldn't be buying Converse to run over 20 miles either.

My boyfirend loves Converse Jack Purcell shoes. He has a pair in almost every color. They look sharp, are comfortable, and made very well. Love them!

Great shoe and lots of fun to wear. The toe is a little narrow, but they are quite comfortable. I was a long-time Chuck Taylor wearer, but these are more mature looking. There isn’t a day I wear them that I don’t get a comment (positive) on them. I like the black as it has a bit more attitude.

Love Zappos and these shoes. They are my second pair and I find them quite comfortable. After I ordered them they were at my house the next day when I got home from work even though I hadn't picked overnight shipping. Thank you zappos!

Love these shoes!! They go with everything and are classics! Tad narrow along the widest parts of the ends of my feet, easily adjusted by loosening the laces. Took a couple of wears to break them in, but I never got blisters and haven't had any problems. Love them!

Shoes fit true to size; just depends on if you wear them with socks or not. Try your typical size if wearing with socks!!! Originally ordered a 6US and returned them through Zappos return system. Transaction was flawless and I had the new size back in 2 days. Couldn't ask for better service.

Good Basic Sneakers - I purchased these sneakers for my husband, who works out at the gym a lot. He wanted plain low sneakers and has always liked basic Converse. I, initially, ordered an 8 1/2, going by the reviews. They were a little too small on his one foot. I sent them back, and, as always, received prompt service from Zappos. He got the sz. 9 and is very pleased with them.

Sweet... Nice plain shoe, very comfortable. They look like an old pair of Nikes I use to own. Totally worth it.

Great Shoes and Great Service - I have owned these shoes many times so I know I like them a lot already but the new ones seem to be more comfrotable which is nice. Also the Zappos service was amazing, they shipped the shoes right away and offer free return service if they were not the right size. I will do business with them again for sure.

A great shoe - I have loved Jack Purcell's for 20 years, its getting hard to find then. This shoe at Zappos is more like the orignal then any of the others with a new soft insole, it runs about a 1/2 size larger then before.

shoe review - Felt true to size. I bought the black, which was a toss up with the green color. Both very cute.

Converse Jack Purcell - These new Purcells seem to have more arch support than the older version. They run a bit bigger though.
