Customer Reviews Converse Chuck Taylor® All Star® Loose Fit Ox (Canvas)

It took me a while to get used to the wide look of the toe box but they are so comfy! The only problem I had was a blister on my heel the first day I wore them, but they have been great ever since.

Not the typical Converse Shoe - The fabric of the shoe looks good. Beware if you wear the shoes without socks--the tongue moves around a lot. This shoe has a totally different feel then the traditional Converse--more cushion and more room in the toes. So far they have been difficult to break in.

Great twist on an old classic - The wide toe box makes this shoe really comfortable. The originals have too narrow a toe box for me. They also look really pointy on my feet. I wish they have more colors. Remember to get 1 size smaller...I wear 10.5, but had to get this in a 9.5. Perfect fit.

OK shoe overall - I thought they were a tad bit heavy feeling. But the canvas material is nice, as is the gray color. I like the idea of having a bit more room than the original All Star.

They look a lil' weird, don't they? I was about to forego Converse sneaks forever-- not so much for how un-original they now make me feel (urban uniform) but because they're not really that comfortable- not until you break them in for like, a year, and for me, at that point they're ripping at the seams. Too narrow! So, this wide fit seemed SO perfect-- truth be told, though, I would NOT have purchased these shoes had I seen them in person-- because they look so much wider (I think the white @ the toe should be foreshortened) and I waver between thinking they look cute and thinking they look retarded. I still went through some pain wearing them brand new (though they are roomier, and it is nice), and haven't worn them enough to be pain-free quite yet (the top of the heel cuts in). But I do think when I wear them s'more they'll look less weird and be completely cute-- I just got to get over the self-consciousness the extra width inspires (in me, and potentially you too).

Something about the tongue... I love Chucks, and these are pretty good. They feel very cushy. Their "loose fit" quality causes the tongue to move around more than regular Chucks, so be prepared to have to adjust it. The wide toe box is definitely a different feel from standard shoes of this type.

Converse All Star Loose Fix Ox - After wearing a different type of shoe for a year, my feet had apparently widened so I was thrilled to find that there are Chucks like these. I was amazed at how much better "built" these Chucks are compared to the regular ones. I'd worn the old style for at least 10 years and never had a pair last me more than 9 months because the material would pull away from the toe... then came the duct tape and yadayadayada. Anyhow, I don't think I'll have that problem with these. The canvas is REALLY heavy and the construction seems to be better. But of course, time will tell. Since these shoes have such heavy canvas, the break-in time is a lot longer. I used to be able to break-in my old Chucks in under a week and that was with minimal walking. I walked all over S. Korea and Japan in these things for 2 weeks and that didn't even put a dent in them.

Comfy - These shoes are comfy, but definitely not your classic Chucks! They are a lot wider and kind of make your feet look huge! But I do like that they are comfy. If you have wide feet they are a blessing.

Pretty good - Much better than the original Converse All Stars. They are a lot wider which in my opinion looks a lot better. One thing I did not like is that the canvas was very tough and itchy but overall a good shoe

Wide feet love these shoes - Always loved Cons, but my wide feet could never fit comfortably. Hooray for Loose Fit! Be warned; they look almost cartoon like out of the box....Chuck Taylor's short, stubby cousin. But they're immediately comfortable, and plenty of room for my support insoles. Nice canvas material, too. Sturdier than original cons.

Big foot- These are great shoes. Much like the Classic All Stars. These are different in that they have a big boxy toe. This gives the dogs some breathing room but also give the shoes a slightly exaggerated look. As if you were a character on Fat Albert. I think they are cool and they have become my new favorite everyday shoe!!

Sweet kicks- I love this shoe. Maybe not the most comfortable I have ever worn, but as far as looks go they rock. I have received numerous compliments already. The wider, more rounded toe is what caught my eye; compared to the slim Converse's which do nothing for my feet. Overall, great purchase, well worth the money.

Check my Chucks - These are a cool twist to the original Converse All Stars. The toe is wider so you have more room and a slightly different style of shoe. Make sure you check out the multi-view of the shoe before you buy it so you know what they look like, you can't tell the difference from the single picture!

New school meets old school- I love these shoes. I bought a second pair right after I got the first. The footbed is 100% improved from the old Chucks and the wide toe makes this a really comfortable shoe for people with wide (or even normal) feet. I had to buy them 1/2 size bigger than my other Converse shoes.

Look wide - My son loves Chucks but when he got these they looked very wide. They are the same size as his other Chucks but when you hold them side by side you can easily see how much wider they are. Chucks are still one of his favorite shoes so he kept them anyway. I was a bit disappointed that the size did not stay consistent with the shoe.

A great everyday shoe... Casual, fun to wear on a daily basis and goes with almost everything.

Converse loose fit review- The new Converse Loose Fit attracted me because they looked a little wider than the conventional Chuck Taylor's. After receiving them, they proved to be just that in look and in actual room inside of the shoe. Using the "loose fit" idea on shoes is a brilliant marketing tool. I would consider buying another pair if you had a full selection of colors. So far it seems you only have two colors available.

Finally, wide Converse (almost) I have wiiiiiide feet so I usually buy Converse a half size larger. These are only wide in the toe, but it definitely helps. Plus, they actually have some arch support! Regular Converse do not. These are much more comfortable in every way AND they still look cool. (Or cooler)

Nice new style from Converse - The new Loose Fit from Converse is much wider in the toe box than traditional fit Converse. It gives the shoe a cute new shape and makes it look more modern. As with the old style, the shoe rubs a bit uncomfortably where the laces start at the bottom. The arch support is much better in this new style than the old. Overall I like this new fit much better!

Not quite what they appear to be. I like the look of the Converse Loose Fit Ox, but they unfortunately weren't a good fit for me. They were definitely bigger than my size and I couldn't wear them for extended periods because my feet started to hurt.

Hugely Disappointing - I bought this style with the understanding that this was a wider fit style; but it was hilarious how big it was. It's not that I bought the wrong size, it was just sooooo wide. When I looked down at the shoes, it was like I was wearing those big red clown shoes. Purchase with caution!

Loose fits are comfy - I got the loose fits, and they are very comfy, except the left foot is slightly smaller than the right foot. To go up a size would than be too big. A little more toe room would have been nice. Still, I love the shoes.

Comfy, but silly looking - I have wider feet than normal. Like hobbit wide and I was stoked to hear about these. I got them as a Christmas gift last year and as soon as they were on, I was amazed at the comfort level. But as I continued to wear them I realized that they just don't look right. The white rubber toe is wider, obviously... but not longer! They have the classic Converse look all around except this crucial point. I've been wearing All Stars since I was very young... I even have a misformed toe due to them. It's a sort of signature for me... but these just don't work. I still wear them when I need to be on my feet all day, but if I'm going for "that" look, I leave them in the closet and go with my trusty blues.

Cute but uncomfortable - I ordered these shoes and love the way they look, but they have 2 problems. 1) The heel slips a lot and has a part that cuts into my heel. 2) If you have a high bone on the top of your foot (you know who you are - you can't wear clogs) these shoes hurt that part of your foot.

Very comfortable for Converse - I like them, but my daughter said they are too ugly to wear. She said, "They look like someone cut off the toe." They were wider in the toe than I expected, but they are comfortable and have more arch support than the traditional All Star.
