Customer Reviews Converse by John Varvatos Chuck Taylor All Star Burnished Canvas

Really cool pair of chucks! Just get half to full size smaller if you also use classic vans slip-ons. Also take notice that it is truely for narrow/medium width size feet. Really like it!!!

Way too narrow, sadly. Had to send them back

It's a great looking shoe but has its issues that detract a bit from the looks. The tongue of the shoe wrinkles up with the laces so the shoe itself looks a bit sloppy. Also the elastic that holds the tongue in place can be seen at times which again detracts from the shoe's overall good looks. I ordered a half size smaller than normal and even it feels a little big. But I like them and they are comfortable. And while Zappos has gone WAY down hill the last year (IMHO), these shoes were priced well and arrived quickly.

Nice shoe waited a long time before they came into stock. They are a little loose in feel; size tends to be over sized.

Others have said it, but you should buy a whole size smaller than your usual shoe size for all Chuck Taylors, including these. I gave the style 2 stars because I personally don't like the burnished style from John Varvatos; I want him to bring back the standard clean Chucks with white cap-toe and have these as another option. I will "season" them myself, thanks. I like the quality materials you get with his versions, so it's hard to go back to regular Chucks.

Great shoe with style! Comes with a bag which was pretty interesting. I typically wear a size 10 but exchanged it for a 9.5 and it fits perfectly. Now the previous review is correct in that it is a little narrow but not bad. If you typically wear wide shoes, then I don't think this will work for you. The band that secures your foot in the shoe that is attached to the tongue is light tan but it isn't bad. I see it when I walk when I really want to see it. But people are noticing the shoe from the side, not from above. The band will only show if you have a fat foot and wear wide shoes.

WAY too narrow! Owwwww! I've been wearing Converse for 20+ years and needless to say, my regular size (usually roomy) was tight, uncomfortable, and blister-inducing. Also, these are not that well made considering the price point. Returning.

These look pretty cool but the John Varvatos styling comes at a price. Essentially an old time design and even with the with the removable cushion insert they still have the flat-ish feeling foot bed. I cut and added some Dr.Scholl's inserts and placed them under the factory insert under the heel and arch area to lift my foot at the heel a bit. Feels more natural to walk in them. I have found that they pull my socks down when I walk at the heel, even though the fit is pretty good. It may be due to a slight slipping at the rear when I walk but a smaller size would be too tight. It's a nice looking casual and like any shoe only a test fit can tell you if it is right for you. Quality seems to be pretty good.

I just wanted to change my shoes as they aré big. In all other brands I use 8.5US but this are really big. I've bought before other paír of shoes and dídn't have Any problem with the size. How can I change this? I am from Argentina. Is there Any way to do it from hére or Shall I wait until someone goes to USA?

Cute shoe but the elastic that allows it to be lace free is too stretchy and my feet slip in and out with each step.

John Varvatos Converse collection has lost its place in making the best shoes. I used to buy their classic since 2009 which had best fit and comfort. This model is bull crap at its best don't buy this if you have used classic John varvatos converse. The toes are narrower seems like they raised some flap around little toe it hurts my feet all day.
