Customer Reviews Converse Jack Purcell® CP Canvas Low Top

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.

I got a size 12, but they narrow too much at the ball of the foot. Wish they fit because they're very cool. You just have to be thin footed.

I really like the Purcell's CP, it suits me just right. I live in California and it gets really hot during the summer, so ever summer I buy one Purcell's CP and I wear it with a shorts and white t.

The trackless bottom may be used for something other than walking long distances as the road displayed on the back of the shoe shows, this shoe simply does not last, its bottom will eat away if you are one that walks often. It is a stylish shoe, I used to have a limited edition pair where they were black and gold, I felt like Elvis, but not for that type of shoe wearer.

These are fun shoes for the summer with shorts or capris. I have a narrow foot (2A) and was pleasantly surprised that this shoe was not too wide at 6.5 mans/8 womans. They are kind of soft without much support, but I didn't buy them for walking shoes so I'm not disappointed.

I wish these still came with the classic Jack Purcell laces (the ends have metal tips) instead of the generic laces, but that's what you get when Nike buys converse. Besides that, the shoes are great, very comfortable, true to size and the navy color in person is a true dark navy. I will probably buy more Jack Purcell's in the future. I'm just going to have to search eBay for those classic shoelaces.

The photos and video related to this product are, at the time of this review, incorrect. The Black pair of Jack Purcell's now have the same blue bottom as all the other pairs. This was disappointing to me and resulted in having additional pairs shipped to me only to have the same problem. The only difference in the black pair now is the canvas, everything else is identical to the white and blue pairs.

I was in desperate need of new Converse. I had grey low tops that I had since 6th or 7th grade and now I'm a junior in high school -- I had been wearing them for 4/5 years. They were falling apart and had multiple holes in them and the sole was completely worn down. I could easily poke a hole through with my finger it had gotten so thin. Bottom line, they were a lost cause and I was judged by all my friends (rude). The main reason I got these sneakers over all others was because several reviews said they were comfy, and considering my old Converse literally had no sole left on them I figured I was in the market for comfy shoes. When I first received these in the mail, I was a bit stunned at how white they were. Except, I mean, they're white so I don't even know what I'm saying. Grew to love them and now I wear them all the time. I'd say good choice overall, they go with everything and the blue strip on the front is my favorite part -- I will cry the day it rubs off because I know it's going to eventually. Comfy -- I'm size 9. They run true to size. Buy them. Bottom line: Comfy, some arch support, very white, true to size.

The shoe is comfortable once on but takes a bit of effort to put on. Even with the laces quite loose, it requires a some foot gymnastics to put on. It looks great and wears nicely otherwise.

This shoe, in particular, runs very small. I have several pairs of Converse All-Stars that are size 6 but in this shoe, I'm in an entire size larger. Plan on at least a 1/2 size larger than your normal All-star size. Other than that, I love 'em!

These are cute shoes, but the welt is already separating from the upper after only a month or so of regular wear. I can expect Airwalks that cost half the price to last just as long, if not longer, so I am slightly disappointed.

Too tight near the toes. Also it is a bit overpriced. I found the same model on sale at a local store. Won't say the name of it to avoid advertisement. It was on sale over there, with a good amount off the original price. Great deal, but not from Zappos, so I returned the item and bought it elsewhere. Still, your free shipping is nice. My item came on the second day with no cost. Thanks for that at least, great service

A *LITTLE* disappointed. This is a great looking shoe. A true classic. It has a very narrow toe box, however, and can get uncomfortable wearing them all day without socks. The footbed also seems to slip a little. The footbed adds a LOT of mass to the inside of the shoe. You can take it out and gain lots more room, but the bottom of the show is curved and if you have a wide foot, it, too, will get uncomfortable in a matter of hours. No problems at all with rubbing on the Achilles tendon. I'd probably just try the regular Jack Purcells next time.

Overall a great shoe. The only problem I had with the shoe was they run a little bit large. Otherwise I love the shoes.

childhood revisited - I had a pair of jack purcell's as a child. I thought they looked cool then, and they still look great today. Don't ever lose that classic good look and of course that smile.

Jack Purcell navy - comfortable, look good. The navy is quite a light blue - smart. Everything I thought they would be.

Great everyday shoe - This shoe is a perfect casual shoe for a reasonable price. The look is simplistic, yet different from the chuck taylors. It's also a lot more comfertable than the chucks, with it's thickers padding on the soles and the thongue. If you're looking for a nice casual look that can be dressed up or down, look no further.

Great Shoes - I originally ordered these for my daughter for Christmas, had to return them because they run large, then received a pair that was marked different on the website than the shoe box. I finally ended up with the right size for my daughter and kept a pair for myself. They are cute, very comfy and well made. Zappos was extrememly helpful in getting me the proper size, never charging for shipping, return shipping or difference in cost at times of reorder. My shopping experience with Zappos was so great, almost easier then going out to a store.

I have been wearing Jack Purcell's for years and this is the first time I was disappointed in the product. The tongue, in both shoes, slides down into the shoe. Not only is it annoying, forcing me to constantly pull them back up, but it actually causes pain to my feet where the material bunches up. Not sure if this is a new design flaw from Nike taking over production of this shoe, but I can't wear these. Bummer!

The design and quality of this show has changed. Over the course of 10 years this is the third pair of Jack Purcell's I have owned. The pair I just received has a poorer design with a weaker footbed. I am keeping them but it is likely the last pair I'll own.
