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

i am very disappointed, the quality is terrible!! they are paper thin and flimsey.i wear a wide size, but they don't offer one on the website.

Beautiful sneakers - so comfortable. Will order in other colors. Love them.

Generally cut large. I typically wear a 13 in sneakers and was able to get away with a 12 in these. It’s been quite a few years since I purchased a pair of converse and I don’t ever recall the quality being at this level. In addition, these were super comfy. They have a cushiony removable insole that felt amazing. Classic style, great quality. Overall, very happy with this purchase.

I LOVE THESE. But believe this and other reviews: these are not the mass marketed $50 Converse we've all grown accustomed to. They're heavier, thicker canvas, run big like a lot of Converse styles, and the "white" soul is what I'd call a "retro" colored white. They totally look vintage and despite ZERO arch support, they're more comfy because they're so much thicker. i.e. your foot is further away from the ground cushioned by heavy rubber. i won't go back to the normal style. I'll totally buy more of these '70 Ox.

I have several pair of Converse and Jack Purcells - these are AMAZING. They're substantial, padded, and very cool-looking. I honestly don't think I'll order any other style from now on! Definitely go a half-size down.

They ruined a classic by making the rubber so shiny. Why on earth would they have done that? They looks stupid now.

These brought me back to my youth. I tried the cheaper version and didn't like them. I got these and remembered why i used to wear them all the time. I wear 12 in underarmor and 11.5 in most everything else. I got the 10.5 and they fit perfect. Very happy with this purchase. I want to get the hightops but I'm not sure how they'll fit. I think they would be too hard to put on and take off. But get these. If you're old school and like comfort these are for you

I bought and shipped these sneakers to my 60 year brother who is in a long term care facility in NY. The nurses told me they fit him very well and he put them on right away and wears them every day!

The sunflower color is fantastic. They run half to whole size large (I’m usually a 10, wearing a 9 1/2). The insole cushion is nice, but needs more in the heel.

Seemed long and toe cap was narrow. So tried half size smaller was too narrow. Real hard to find a good fit in these shoes. Still trying. Zappos is great

The fit was right on. The quality was amazing, however, I needed a flexible sole. This shoe will not work for me as it's too flat with no arch support and no flex in the sole.

THE BETTER OPTION! Chuck Taylor's are Chuck Taylor's, right? Well, not in this case. These are so much better made than the standard versions. First off, there are noticeable style differences with the stitching on the side near the toe and along the tongue. There is not a label on the tongue itself, and the label on the back is different. Also, the rubber on the sides comes up a bit further which makes the black strip on the rubber appear to be narrower on the toe. This, of course, is a matter of taste, but I prefer this look. The laces are a tad thinner and I actually like the wider laces (5/16' width), so I simply replaced them and all is good. The fit is 1/2 size large, so while I wear a 10 in the standard version, I had to get a 9.5 in the '70 Ox version. I first bought the same size and when compared sole to sole, the do indeed run large. There is a substantially better insole in this version as well. And furthermore, it can be removed which means I can put in my Superfeet insoles instead, which is a huge bonus I was not expecting. When I do that, the fit remains the same and now I have a more familiar feel to my other shoes… I swap the Superfeet insoles from shoe to shoe and basically all my shoes feel the same because of that. Bottom line, these are well worth the extra $30 in my opinion. So long as the style differences are ones you like… go for it!

Love the shoes. I originally ordered a half size smaller but they were still too big so I returned them and ordered a full size smaller. Great service by Zappos.

I followed the guidance of other reviewers and ordered a full size smaller than my normal shoe, which is a *half* size smaller than a standard Chuck Taylor. That worked out exactly right for me. As others have noted, they do need some extra time to break in compared to the standard Chucks. Chucks are my everyday shoes, so I'll be interested to see how these wear over time compared to the regular ones.

I love the look of this pair of shoes! They definitely have more weight to them than Converse All Stars. Order a half size down for a proper fit.

For Converse sneakers I was told and always go a full size smaller than my normal. So I get a woman’s 7 rather than 8. I checked out the 7.5 recently thinking I might need an extra size larger, but had to return for 7 because I could tell my heel would be rubbed badly if I didn’t. The 7 is perfect for me. Also, more cushioning on the 70’s style. Bought to replace old black chucks, although I know I won’t be able to toss them ?. Super psyched to grab these because my size sells out quickly! Love love love!

If you have a wider foot like me these are soooooo perfect! Over the years I haven’t repurchased converses because they are a bit uncomfortable for me to break into. These old school styles completely change the game for me ! They are so comfortable even first try on. That speaks volumes on how the shoe will break in. I can never go back to buying the other style now. Old school all the wayy.

i love the style of the '70s chucks. so cool and super-shiny rubber. pretty unique compared with other chucks. as with all chuck taylors, these run 1/2 to a full-size big. i typically wear a 9 or a 9 1/2, but in chuck taylors, i know to order 8 1/2, and they fit my feet perfectly.

love these !! much more comfortable than I expected =)

Nice classic sneakers

I love my Chucks and regularly wear four or five pairs. These are hands down my favorites which are far more comfortable than standard Chucks and still look timeless. I'm in my mid-40's now and my feet feel a bit more grown up wearing the '70 Ox's...even if my wife believes I think I'm in my 20's still.

These are great, classic Chucks, but color is listed as black and shoes are Navy Blue.

For my feet, these are The Best Chucks. And I tried several (thanks for sticking with me Zappos!). Every one slipped on my heels, and had absolutely no structure. I don't know if it's the additional eyelets, but they fit like they were made for me. They even have some gentle arch support that falls exactly in the right place. I need to order more colors -- now. Zappos, you're the best.

These are not the standard low top. They have a different toe box and outside look to them. My daughter wore them so they cannot be returned but they have torn her feet up for heel to toe. She has owned many CTs over the years. This order was very disappointing
