Customer Reviews Converse Chuck Taylor® All Star II Ox

I bought these for my son in law and he loves them. The fit and look is exactly what he wanted. They were delivered very fast. We will definitely ordered again from Zappos.

I love the look of regular Chucks but they always end up making my feet hurt after a few hours. These are so much better than the original! They are very comfortable and true to size - there is no need to size down like regular Chucks. They do still run narrow, so if you have wider feet they may not work. I bought the gray and was surprised that they came with an extra pair of white laces. I switched the laces to white so they look more like the classics. I am so excited to wear them!

Runs large. Very comfortable with the Lunarlon footbed.Nice dark gray color. Felt narrow but that is a plus for me as I have a narrow foot.

When I heard about these having a new design with removable liner, I was thrilled. I recently developed plantar faciiatis and was worried I would never wear my beloved Converse again (I need arch support and heel support in shoes). Low and behold-the Converse All Star II. The fabric is sturdier, the interior nicely lined with the micro-suede liner (NICE!), tabs to hold the tongue of the shoe in place so it doesn't slide side to side. It has the removable liner foot bed that is very thick and supportive. I felt like I was walking with a spring in my step! I felt it in my heels and my arches. Much better than the old Converse. Overall I am satisfied with the shoe and will be breaking it in more as I go. It's been comfortable from the start though! I even like the look and the black laces with the black shoe. Fit true to size-I ordered size 9 (womens, what I wear in running sneakers too, I wear an 8.5 in Born boots and sometimes 8s in sandals depending). Please note that since the material is slightly thicker canvas and inner lining on the shoe-it will fit just a tad snugger, so thin socks may be better than thick ones. Love these!! Thank you Converse and Zappos.

Overall, I really like these. Got them in the gray and they pretty much go with everything. LOVE the removable insole, because I tend to have "problem feet" and burn through insoles like crazy (I work retail so I am always on my feet)! I currently have the spenco q-factor insoles on these and love them- super comfy! The only thing is honestly a style preference- I like the look of the originals more! Maybe it's nostalgia talking but the iconic stripe in the white rubber outsole being missing just throws the style off for me! Shame they are so expensive though! Chucks should be $20, these "upgraded" ones should maybe be $40!

Size: I am a 7.5 in Nike running shoes, a 6.5 to 7 in most other shoes, and the 7s fit me great. Comfort: Much better than the original chucks. Still not as comfortable as an actual athletic shoe, but these shoes meet my somewhat stringent standards. I bought to wear them commuting in hopes they wouldn't look silly with a skirt or dress. They also pass that test. They do need a little breaking-in.

A lot more comfortable than the original, especially with the added arch support. Love the all white!!

I really like the upgrades/ enhancements nike's added to chucks. Most noteworthy (for me) the lunarlon insert and solid rubber outsole. The OG brown bottoms had rubber mixed with that cloth like material that's soak up water like a sponge and they're utterly flat. The chuck II's are appealing to me but wearing them... they're too narrow for me and I find the toe box way too cramped. They're like the skinny jeans of sneakers. And I don't even have wide feet. As with all chucks I go down half a size which is normally recommended by converse so the length is fine, the cushioning is decent and the styling is classic. So I'm kind of bummed because I think they're dope but I won't get much wear out of them.

As a lifelong wearer of Chucks I was excited to try the 2's! The support in these shoes are crazy, especially for Chuck Taylors, and I've found them to be very comfortable because of the new insert. A minor complaint is the style, I really miss the black line around the shoe, I felt like the all white look was too much right out of the box. That being said these shoes are great and hold up to everyday wear quite well!

These are very comfortable, way more comfortable than the traditional Chucks I've always worn. They run true to size. The only downfall is that nice cushion is very squeaky when walking.

I'm mostly a fan of this update to an iconic shoe. Comfort and fit-wise, it's a huge upgrade with much better cushioning and arch support along with the padded tongue which doesn't bunch up and move like it did on the original Chucks. Style-wise, I think I like the white accents on the older version more. This new one is just a tad monochrome and boring, relative to the original. They still look pretty good and are versatile as ever.

These shoes feel super comfy and look great.

These were a Christmas gift for my son, and he's pretty pleased with the style and color. They are a big improvement (comfort-wise) over the Chucks I had as a kid.

Never bought "Chucks" before. I'm not big on flat sneakers, I'm a running sneaker kind of person, but these felt good. Worth the price for sure.

These shoes are stunning. That being said, I have purchased several pairs of All Stars and this is the first pair to ever cause foot pain. They may be better for those who like the All Star style but need extra support. The stay-in-place tongue is a great feature!

I really like these shoes. I think they would look better with the black stripe on the white sole. They are very comfortable except they are a little snug right at my little toes. I didn't realize it until I had been wearing them for half a day or so. Other than that, they are great.

Comfy and a little more stylish then the original.

Bought for my boyfriend for his birthday, and he loved them! He wears a size smaller in Converse as they seem to be snug and slimmer.

These are definitely different, new Chucks. The new insole is nice and relatively supportive, but don't expect these shoes to feel like some Nike running shoes. They are basically just more supportive, sturdier Chucks. THIS IS NOT A BAD THING! If you love the old school Converses, this is definitely something you need to check out. I guess my point is, while these are great shoes, they aren't some wildly new invention that will revolutionize your shoe-wearing experience.

Old school look. New school materials. Great combination.

Comfort is improved over the standard Chuck Taylor, mostly due to the better insole. The fabric is thicker as well, which seems to improve durability, but also means they take a bit longer to break in. They run a touch longer than the original, but sizing is still the same for me, i.e. a half size larger than most other shoes. The outsole is starting to separate from the sides after 11 months, but I've been wearing these shoes about four days out of the week for most of the year, so it's not unexpected.

Love these Chuck IIs! I've been a fan of the old chucks for years, and wanted to try the new ones. I ordered a whole size larger than normal, and it fits perfectly. They are sooo nicely padded, you can wear them all day, no matter what terrain you'll be walking on. Please make these in leather!!!

I just got these and love them. I am a size 10 in most sneakers, and ended up needing a 9.5 in these, and if I didn't want to be lazy and return twice (I originally ordered a 10 & 10.5 after reading reviews thinking I needed to size up) I feel I could have even gone down to a full size to a 9. But the Lunarlon sole makes these comfortable for this type of a shoe, which was the main reason I got them. I recommend them!

The All Star II is significantly more comfortable than the original All Star Core Ox. Having owned a few different Converse All Star styles, I can say that these are the most comfortable out of any that I've worn. They can easily be worn all day while walking. However, the downside to this style is that there's less room in the shoe due to the thicker insole. People with wide feet may find it a tight fit. In terms of style, these do not have the black stripe that is on the side of other Converse All Star shoes. I miss that black stripe! I found that Zappos has the best selection of colors and sizes. I wasn't able to find my size locally, so thank you Zappos.

I love the added support in this shoe, but because of the added support this shoe is too narrow for my foot. Unfortunately, I have to go with the original Converse sneakers with the cardboard-like support.
