Converse

Chuck Taylor All Star Shoreline Slip-On Sneaker

Women's

To call these shoes the greatest invention in the history of the universe does not do justice to their wonder. Thanks to my mother, who despite being a mere 5'3" tall has rather sizeable feet, I was born with the family curse of larger than necessary feet. Many a time I see a pair of shoes that I adore but, upon requesting them in my size, recoil in disgust at the gargantuan monster that lay before me. That was of course until I met the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Shoreline Slip-On Ox. Upon first glance, I was intrigued by their cuteness but I feared that, like most Converses, they would do all they could to accentuate the size of my size 10s. Then I noticed something intriguing, rather than the usual set of six grommets, these little guys only featured four. I was curious to see if this would make a difference and decided to take a chance. When they arrived I, like Cinderella, presented my out-stretched foot and hoped that this would be the fit I had always dreamed of. Anxiously and cautiously, I placed my size 10s into the shoes and then nervously walked to my full-length mirror. Before me I saw a miracle, not only were they as adorable as I had hoped but rather than seeing feet which looked larger, or even normal size, I saw what appeared to be smaller feet. What I had waited for all my life was currently upon my person and I could not believe my good fortune. They are cute with capris, cute with shorts, cute with dresses. These shoes are perfection. These shoes are magical. These shoes are the greatest invention in the history of the universe.

Wow these reviews are really all over the place, ha ha ha! I had to try 3 different sizes because I saw so many reviews saying these run small. From now on I will trust the majority, for I found these to be true to size. I'm normally a size and 9, and 9 fits me perfectly and looks awesome, with and without (thin) socks. FYI the toe box is uncomfortable because it's tapered, which is not how normal toes are made. Your big toe or little toe will contact the side unless you go a size larger. But if you do, then the shoe is longer and not very attractive, it's a tradeoff. I think these are true to size for people with narrow feet. Also, I think the heel is shorter than usual, in order to look more feminine, so your heel may pop out if you put inserts or wear thick socks. They're not suitable for rough all-day wear in my opinion (I think I'll invest in the Ugg Evera for that). A reviewer mentioned how there is some edge inside that irritated the top of her foot, you can remedy that by adjusting the tongue. I really love the look of these shoes, a femmy Converse, that has only 4 lace holes! But personally I don't like the knotted lace end, so I tuck mine inside to look clean. I also intend to wear these without laces sometimes for a different look. I hope my review helps some! Zappos is fantastic and all you lovely ladies are supremely wonderful. Have a great day. :)

Good shoes but the left one was defective. Rubber banding on the side was not attached to the sole so water seeped up and soaked my sock.

Main problem is that I am a size 10, and this shoe just accentuates the length of my foot. Some shoes just look like a different shoe when you get from a cute size 7 to a shovel-size 10. When I looked down I felt like I was wearing clown shoes and that's an exaggeration, but I couldn't get past how long they looked, might have been that the white part was pretty long. They would look good on you though(if you aren't any more than a size 9). Also, not much support if you need it, pretty flat inside. I wanted to like these for my feet, but the problem is more my feet than the shoe.

I grew up wearing Chucks, I was looking for a new pair that was a little different and found these. I am in love with them. People notice that they are different and ask "Where did you find those?" "Zappos, of course!" These, like all Chucks take a couple wears before they stretch out a little. I usually use a little moleskin or KT on my "pinky toes" to keep the friction down for these first couple wears. I do have wider feet than most women, so that might also be why. I have had them for a couple months now and am going to buy the other colors because I live in the things. I love these shoes, slip-on for the win.
