Customer Reviews Converse Chuck Taylor® All Star® '70 Hi

ZAPPOS for life.

These shoes are awesome. I have many pairs of converse high tops, but I wanted to get these because they looked to be better quality. And wow. They are much better quality than the regular high tops that everyone has. These are sturdy, comfortable, but they do run a half size larger. I am usually a women’s 10, and I got a 9.5 in these and they are perfect. Love the color, they’re like a gold/yellow/mustard. Very pleased. Happy I got them. Thanks Zappos!

The fit is half size larger. I am usually a 10.5 in sneakers and had to get 10 in these bad boys! They have extra cushion in the footbed and so it is extremely comfortable to wear!!

I would say they are slightly bigger than the regular chucks. They feel a little longer and slightly wider which for me is perfect. I love these chucks. They have a really thick sole and the canvas is probably twice as thick is the originals. Way better and I'm loving the make. I don't think I'll ever buy the originals. Nike has completely destroyed the originals, they break down so quickly. I feel like these should hold up way better. We'll see.

Chucks usually run a half size bigger so I ordered mine a half size smaller and they fit great. The soles are thicker than the regular style so they are far more comfortable. These also have great arch support. I have a high arch and usually chucks hurt my feet after a few hours of wearing them but not these. Overall cute and comfy!

I had my eye on these for awhile and when I finally decided to purchase them I was not at all disappointed. The overall quality is a huge step up from the traditional Chuck Taylors, including a more supportive and cushioned insole, stronger canvas, and thicker laces. They are also less narrow than usual Chucks, but I would agree with previous reviewers advising half a size up.

Dig this version. More padding than original Chuck Taylors.

I normally where a men's size 12 in just about everything else. I have a older pair of Converse that are size 11, so I ordered the same size for these and they fit just about right, so they definitely run a size large.

I love Chucks but I don’t love the support and quality of the “regular” ones. These are much more supportive and substantial and are also much more comfortable due to the upgraded insole. They also feel slightly less narrow than usual which was a welcome surprise as well. It’s so nice to be able to wear them again.

These were gift for my son. He loves everything about them! Very comfortable and the look is what he wanted.

I purchased these as my first pair of All Stars ever and also my first Zappos purchase. I went with the '70 model because arch support is very important to me and these are supposed to have significantly more than the standard All Stars. Normally I wear a 9-9.5 sneaker, so I initially ordered an 8 after reading that these run large. For me the 8 was a bit too tight. One 10 minute phone call to Zappos support resolved the issue painlessly. These shoes are well constructed and very comfortable. The arch support is adequate and the insoles comfortable all day. They're not comparable to modern basketball or running shoes, but that's not what they're for. You probably shouldn't buy these to do actual sporting activities. As a comfy, stylish and timeless casual sneaker these are very good. Additionally, I can't overstate how good Zappos' customer support is. I've never bought shoes online before and was hesitant to do so without trying them on first. I guessed wrong on the size based on internet knowledge. I called Zappos at around 6pm on New Years Eve absolutely expecting a painful experience with a foreign call center. What I actually got was a patient and friendly voice from Las Vegas who solved my problem in minutes. I totally understand being hesitant to buy clothing online without trying it on. With the quality of Zappos' support, there's just nothing to worry about.

I am a size 9.5 with a pretty wide foot and an 8.5 in these fit me perfectly. They are much more comfortable than regular Converse and overall s much higher quality shoe. It is worth the extra money to buy this model over the regular model

After sifting through the many sizing opinions on this shoe I went with my Brannock size due to my wide feet. I have what I call Fred Flinstone feet, my feet flare out toward my toes like a duck foot so I have a wide foot with a tall instep. I figured with the pointy design of these chucks I would just roll with a little extra length to accommodate my wider feet. This was the correct choice, since I have a finger distance from the front of the shoe the widest (ball) of my foot is in the widest part of the shoe. If I went with the 9's I think my toes might be crammed into the front under that rubber section. These were really comfortable right away. I was pleasantly surprised by the foot bed being soft and cushiony! The construction of these 70s chucks are really impressive, I'd say they are better than my made in the USA PF Flyers. I will definitely be getting the lows as well now! As always Zappos shipping was fast and perfect!

these are my first Converse all star in a while, I've been using other shoes but i kinda missed the style that a converse all star can bring to my daily attire, these ones definitely feel better than the cheaper converse all star, they offer removable insoles, better canvas, and also better rubber.

Not only is the retro style of these perfect, but they offer SO much more cushioning for your feet than regular Converse!

Comfortable, durable, and versatile! My son loves these shoes!

I haven’t worn Converse in a while because they didn’t have half sizes on a lot of their styles. I looked at their shoes on Zappos randomly and was happy to see that’s no longer the case. I’m a 9.5 and these are definitely true to size. I love the color of these shoes!

Quick delivery, good fit, comfortable, good price. Overall a great purchase experience!

These shoes are definitely more comfortable than regular CTs, quality is great and as far as sizing, I ordered the same size I normally get with the regular Chuck Taylor version and it fits me the same. Comparison to other shoes (Nike/Vans) I recommend going down a full size.

These are the real deal that I remember from years back. The material is super durable, the cushioning is nice and of course, you can't go wrong with the classic look. Definitely worth the extra dollars, as regular Chucks seem to fall apart rather quickly. This is my third pair, and I'm glad to see that Zappos has them at a great price.

These All Star 70 high are so much better than the regular Chuck Taylor. They don’t hurt my feet at all and are actually extremely comfortable. They are not stiff either so right out the box they have very flexible. I usually wear a size 10 in DC, Etnies, Circa, Globe, Adidas and most other shoes but these I wear a 9.5. I tried on a size 10 at the mall before I bought these on Zappos and they were too big. Definitely get a half size smaller than what you normally wear.

Really great shoe. Super comfortable. I’m usually a 9.5 in chucks but went with a 10. Fit was pretty good. Probably could’ve sized down to normal chuck size but I like having a little room for thicker socks.

These look amazing! Well worth the extra money to get the old school style!!

Superior silhouette to standard run Converses. Canvas is as thick as a sail. Pretty comfortable, but went to a concert first day of having these and - naturally - heels got a little heavy. Still the classic flop flop, not ideal for running and exercise, but all materials are definitely bona fide plus. Worth it for the elitism of the extra stitching.

I had to go a half size down from my previous converse purchases for these, which was surprising as as shoes fit me pretty consistently. Very happy with the style and I think the 70s version is a bit more grown up looking that the other classic hi tops. Comfort is pretty on par with other Chucks I have - meaning they're flat and my feet hurt after a long day but I expect that with this brand. It's taken a few wears to get them to softern up a bit but again, expected with a hi top. Happy with these!
