Customer Reviews Converse Jack Purcell® CP Canvas Low Top

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.

Very cute, stylish shoes - Once again Zappos has provided the best customer service and my shoes arrived in 2-3 business days (and I live in the boonies). The Jack Purcell's are very cute little shoes and they're pretty comfortable. I suppose one complaint that I have is that where the rubber toe ends and meets the canvas (by the laces) it wears on my toes a little bit and cuts in a little. However, I wore these the day after I wore some pumps that rubbed the same spot so that spot was a little irritated. I'm sure that after I wear the shoes in a little bit that it won't be a problem. I generally wear a size 7 and ordered a size 5.5 (as these come in mens sizes) and the fit is just fine. These do not have the best arch support (like Converse) so don't wear them hiking but they're just fine for around town. These look great with jeans and capris. I like my Jack's.

Jack Purcells - Awesome quickness of delivery and product is awesome too.

As Advertised! Great shoe. Classic sneaker. Simply the grooviest tennis shoe to own.

Awesome shoes - I have Converse All Stars that are high tops and green and pink! I love them and my friends love them too! I can have a great time in them and not have to worry about a thing! Thanks!

These shoes are the cutest shoes available. They go graet with everything. Even if you choose the pink or orange ones they will still look cute with anything.
