Customer Reviews Converse Jack Purcell® CP Canvas Low Top

Better than ever - I wore these Jack Purcell shoes back in the early sixties and loved them then, but now I have discovered they have been greatly improved making them even better. The shoes now have a high quality insole and are lined with a smooth fine material making them more comfortable. They are great. Good work Zappos

Good nostalgic shoe - I remembered these shoes from my youth and found them to be every bit as good as I remembered them. My wife who also remembered this shoe ordered them for me!

Converse's Jack Purcell - great shoe. very comfortable. looks great.

Best Jack Purcell's on the net! Best selection of size and color and very good price.

Awesome! These shoes are great! Stylish yet subtle retro look that goes with jeans, khakis, cords, and shorts. Quite comfortable with good cushioning and arch support good for walking or going out (but I would not recommend for strenuous sports). And Zappos had them to me in less that 24 hrs with free shipping. You can't beat it!

quiz - I guess when the JP name/brand was bought out, they thought it would be a good idea to "inprove" these shoes. New padding, logo on the tongue, new logo on the back and new shoe laces. Wow, did they ever screw this one up. I've been wearing JP's for the last 12 years and I liked them fine the way they were. There's just something about the new purcells that don't remind me of the 40+ pairs I've owned before. I'll be looking for old dead stock ones, and hopefully I'll be able to load up on those. Perhaps I'll make it a couple of years without needing to switch to these horrible "new" ones.

"Jacks" addict pleased again! Again, another great pair of Jacks. I've never worn the "CP"'s before with the new details though. They have a larger fit and didn't fit as snug as my others in the same size but they are still comfy and look great. I would suggest buying a half size smaller than you normally wear. The white color is brighter than the original Jacks which are a little "off" white.

Comfort and style all in 1 package! This shoe has been improved since the last time I bought a pair. There is more cushion to it and the interior has a soft, squishy, velvety texture which only adds to the overall comfort.

My new Converse Jack Purcell review - I ordered these not sure if they'd look goofy , but they are so cool! I gte so many compliments on them. They are true to size and are extremely comfortable. I walked all over Manhattan in them and they were great! Very funky and cool.

As great as I remember - It's been many years....my first pair of Jack Purcell's was in my freshman year of college (1960) I wore them everyday and most nights during my four years of college. I wore them whenever I could in Vietnam. Later after Vietnam I looked to replace my JP's but was unable to find a store that carried them. Forty years later I was surfing the web & came across my old friends. Was I surprised! Ordered a pair and found them to be just as I remember. It was like coming home...

Great shoes - Can't really say anything bad about them. Size was perfect. I wear size 10 Chuck Taylors and these look a tiny bit bigger. Snug and soft fit. and it leaves a cool footprint.

Excellent - I love the look of these shoes under dress pants (in white). They are great, comfortable and perfect for me.

I Now Have Two Pairs - These shoes are THE BEST. Casual, hip and goes with everything. I purchased a pair in blue… and couldn’t get enough, so I had to get a pair in classic black/white. I could not find the black/white pair anywhere online or in the malls! Very frustrating! Zappos emailed me as soon as possible when they received a new shipment. I ordered them the next day! Make sure you purchase a pair ½ size smaller than normal. I usually wear a size 9.5 mens, but size 9 fit me snug. It’s weird, cause in the Chuck Taylors/All-Stars, I fit a size 8 mens. Go figure. Everyone and their mother wears the Chuck Taylors/All-Stars… (which I have too)… but I prefer the Jack Purcells better. These shoes have a cleaner look to them, and is more comfortable on the feet. The material is also better quality than the Chuck Taylors/All-Stars. Overall, great looking shoe. I cannot be happier. Great job Zappos.

Jack Purcell Converse - WOW! I had been searching and searching for these. I wore them as a kid back in the 60's and enjoyed them. I wanted to relive my youth growing up in Huntington Beach, CA. and now I am. These take me back to a time of surfing and hanging out with my buddies at the beach. Basic shoe and really comfortable and half the price of tennie's I have been buying. I highly recommend these to anyone who wore them as a kid, they will like them as an adult...Order them and have fun again like when you were a kid!

Love it! Love the style, fit, comfort, and everything about it...nothing that I don't like...except for the white jack Purcell...now those gets dirty really easily but the black ones don't.

Your service was excellent, I would recommend you to anyone. My shoes arrived less than 23 (twenty-three) hours after I placed my order. Bravo to your company!

Awesome - I absolutly love my new kicks. I have them in several colors and have recommended them to many of my friends. My hairdreser commented on how great they were and bought herself a pair, and she is thrilled with their comfort and style and recommends them to many of her clients. Thanks for making my feet comfy and stylish. I am a big fan. and will keep ordering. Thanks

Love Zappos.com! We have had an excellent experience buying our Converse Jack Purcell CP sneakers through Zappos.com! We were amazed at how timely all of our orders came to us, especially when it was the Christmas holiday! We are very pleased with the quality, prices and professionalism of Zappos.com!

Quality - The quality of products has a lot of improvements. I am very satisfied with the quality. I wish I can have green/black color. Let me know if you have this color. Last time I saw this color on your web site but suddenly I can't find it anymore. Thank you.

Excellent - I bought these shoes for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves them! He wears them all the time and can dress them up or down.

Perfect! I owned the older version of the Jack Purcells that I purchased about 2 years ago. They looked great and matched with almost anything, but were not that comfortable. However, this newer version added more cushion to the shoe and they feel great and still have that classic jack purcell look! The only bad thing about these is that the white ones tend to get dirty very easily [and is very hard to clean] so I can't wear them in the rain.

Back in the day - I owned my first pair of Jack Purcells in 1961 when I was 9 years old. All of the surfers wore them...they were the rage. I own a pair now and I feel just like I did then...cool and still young--buy some. I'm now 52 yrs old andI love my Jack Purcells! I just bought my boss some--he wore them too...

i had a pair of jack purcell's in high school, so these were a bit of a nostalgia purchase. but i had been looking for a cute pair of blue shoes, and i thought these fit the bill. i have some keen sneakers that i think are more comfortable. but i think these would be fine if you don't plan on walking or standing all day in them, as i don't think that they have much arch support. but, i usually wear hiking shoes, with good arch support – so if you're used to wearing little flats, or flip-flops, these may feel like they have a lot of arch support. i really like the dark blue color, and it's almost like they're denim, so i love them with khaki pants, and a denim shirt. and overall, i just really like the look.

Cute for running errands with kids. But, not comfy after being spoiled by the super cushi-ness of running shoes. No regret though as I'm over ballet flats not being warm enough between seasons

Great product! These are my all-time favorite shoes. I just wish they didn't change the styling. They seem much cheaper.
