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

These shoes are amazing. Much better than regular Chucks. Worth the price.

I was curious to see if these Converse '70 Ox would feel any better or different than the All Star Core. I will say they feel different. The pros are that the quality is better and really heavy duty, which would work for anyone who is tough on their shoes and want something that lasts longer. The foot bed is much better cushioned than than Core, which was the only thing I liked about the shoes. The cons are the shoe is much heavier and much stiffer than Core because of the heavy duty materials used. These shoes do require a breaking in period to start feeling comfortable I think. Because the cut is different, you are forced to size down. I am 7 1/2 and do well with Converse Core in that size. Technically I did fit the size 7 in '70 Ox, but the toe cap is still a bit narrow and my toes felt crowded in them. I think the sizing runs bigger because the toe cap seems a little longer, which made the shoes look a bit clownish on my feet. Getting them a half size bigger would only worsen the clownish look. Also, the "Magic Flamingo" pink looked a little darker and duller in real life than the photo shows, which I didn't like. For me these shoes didn't work at all, and I am returning them. I will stick with the Converse Core Ox. Thank you Zappos for a great return policy and wonderful customer service!

Great shoes. Better than standard Converaw in quality and fit. I will be getting more soon. Happy Zappos had this increasingly hard to find color combination at a great price

These take me back to high school! I LOVE THESE SHOES! They are so comfortable and I’m on my feet a lot. Now if they just brought grunge back, I’d have the perfect ensemble ??

Really comfortable!

Love the shoe, but the fit was larger than expected. Returning for a smaller size.

Love these 70s Chucks. Great style. Higher quality materials than regular Chucks. Extra cushioning, so they’re more comfortable, too.

Pretty disappointed. They look great, but were pretty uncomfortable and after only a few months the sole started to detach from the rest of the shoe. I probably won’t buy another pair.

Went 1/2 size smaller. Great fit. Crazy comfortable. Love them!

Love these!!

These converse sneakers have more support than some of the others. Very comfortable.

I've always bought the standard Chuck's and they are okay, but they aren't the most comfortable, they "squeak" for at least the first few months, and they don't last very long. So when I found the Chuck 70s I was excited that maybe paying more would eliminate all of these problems. While they do look to be better constructed, I can say they squeak even more, and are very uncomfortable. I've never wanted to take shoes off at the end of the day as much as these. I'm hoping they at least last longer, but right now, these were a total waste of money.

The shoe fits well as I have plenty of space for my wider front part of feet. The material believe it or not has removable insoles and feels great. Something not available with the other Chuck Taylor's over the shelf brands. These "Chucks '70 Ox" feel awesome.

Excellent shoes! The build quality is definitely worth the extra price. I had to go down 1 full size from my Brannock measured size of 10.5. I do wear a 10.5 in vans for comparison and my foot measures about 10 3/4 inches in length. Initial wearing was pretty snug and uncomfortable but are perfect now after a few wears. The 9.5 leaves me with about 1/2 inch of room at the longest toe (after breaking in). Perfect! I will be buying more.

runs long. I wear size 11 and these were very long for me. I had at least 1 inch of space between shoe and big toe

I really like this Converse 70s. They have a harder and more durable rubber sole, and thicker canvas. Some might not like that these shoes are heavier, but I love them. The original converse have gone down in quality as the years go on and I've found that these 70s are much more durable. They don't fall apart like the originals. They seem to have a much better insole in it, but I don't use it because I put in my powersteps which 9-9.5 size fit perfectly in the 8.5 mens shoe. They run perhaps half to a full size big. Closer to half a size in my view. I love these shoes.

Bomb shoes!

The shiny toe cap is just not for me - can’t decide if it’s chic or cheap.

Love this shoe. I have a wide, size 14 foot and this shoe is comfy and has plenty of width and length.

Definitely runs a half size large. The shoe feels like the cushioning is twice as thick as standard Chucks. Very comfortable for walking around.

Great looking shoes. They are a little more comfortable that your usual cons. Be sure to get at least half size down

Super cute little pink shoe. I bought these for my daughter and they fit just as expected - true to size and typical fit for a Converse shoe.

These are awesome! No comparison to the cheaper All Stars. They do run a full size larger but are more comfortable and much higher quality, hence the higher price. If you like the style of the All Star, you will love the 70's series.

I ordered my shoes 1/2 size smaller than normal due to reading the other reviews. Should have gone a full size smaller!

Ordered 1/2 size down. First pair was long.
