Customer Reviews Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High-Top Sneaker

runs big in size

I just cannot wear these shoes. The have no arch support and little padding in the soles. I thought that if I tried different insoles I could make them work, but, I could not. There are also the new Chuck Taylor II shoes, with much more padding, and thicker uppers. I tried them, but they were too tight across the front of the foot, and felt too heavy and stiff overall. so, alas, no All Stars for me. I will return these as I did the CT's!

Zappos service remains outstanding, as always. Converse shoes are cheap and crappy and overpriced, as always, but we knew that before ordering. They are trendy, not supportive or comfortable or of quality that will endure. These were bought for an art/fashion project.

I know Chucks have a special place in shoe history, but let's face it, they aren't comfortable. They're like the male equivalent to high heels: you'll look good standing around, but you'll dread the idea of actually walking anywhere. If you really need a classic retro look, do yourself a favor and get yourself some Adidas, Pumas, or even some Vans.

I bought a pair of these with high hopes, given they are so popular. I was unpleasantly surprised to find they are so uncomfortable even though high priced. Hard to break in, no arch support and sole worn out with little use. I have used Merrel shoes daily that lasted years, these ones have holes after less than three months (only worn all day long in a few occasions). I was a bit naive and used them all day long when the day after they arrived just to find my fingers full of blisters in the end. Merrell Chameleons and Waterpro Maipo are a world apart from these for daily commuting, going out on a trip or general use. Women complain about using high heels to stay fashionable, even though they are a torture. Now I know how that feels but will not definitely go through it again. I really enjoy the looks but it is not worth it.

It was my mistake to buy Chucks as work shoes because they're just so uncomfortable. Of course their iconic shoes that have been around forever, but I would honestly never buy this style again. There is almost no heel support for these and after a while of standing and moving they're just painful to me. Granted for my old job made me stand for hours at a time I've never had so much pain in my joints from just one pair of shoes.

The sole is very thin so you really feel everything you walk on. The canvas uppers are a bit of a pain to get into. Look nice but sorry I got them - would have returned them except that I took a walk in them before learning how thin the sole is.

I\'ve been wearing these shoes for less than 4 months and already I\'ve worn the heel down to the point where canvas is exposed at the bottom of my shoes. I only wear them for going traveling to and from work so I put less than 5 miles\/week of wear on these things. It was wet out yesterday and water soaked through the exposed canvas and my heels got wet. This was my first pair of Chuck Taylors and needless to say they will also be my last pair.

It’s been 8 days and they haven’t even shipped. So far not impressed!

I was shipped used, dirty, and smelly converse shoes. When I called to get actual new shoes that I paid for, they were sold out and now I can't find them for my daughter's Christmas gift. I have never had this happen to me.

I ordered a mens 7 womans 9 but received a mens 5 womans 7. Tried to exchange but out of stock.

Zappos sent the wrong order. My confirmation says men’s 10, but I received men’s 8.5.

My shipment says delay in transit.

Sure wish my daughter could have worn these today .. she received a size 9 ... ordered a size 5 ... someone dropped the ball ! Hope they make it right!

No more. My family has been wearing All Stars forever. The 2 pairs I just received are not what has been produced for all the years past. They came with wrinkled, smashed material. There was less canvas than there should be causing the soles to be misshaped. Everything about them was crooked; the canvas was hard. The insoles were hard and lumpy. My kids knew as soon as they opened the box they were not right. In fact, they suspect they are counterfeits. These were clearly the worst shoes I have ever purchased. I cannot believe they passed any type of quality inspection. SO disappointed in Converse and Zappos. Packing them up and back they go.

Horrible material and way too wide

Sole separated from upper after 2 years. I didn't wear them often. Very poor construction and construction design. I still have my originals from 40 yrs ago. Put them away after a hole wore through the canvas. Bought these to replace. Built different now.

My husband wore these since he was a kid in the 50's. Now made in china falling apart after 3 months.

Dissapointed to say the least. I question the legitimacy of these shoes....real fakes. first, the shoes right out of the box squeaked and made crunching noises when i walked....NEVER had that problem before with my Converse! I thought that maybe with the recent buyout from Nike something was tweeked and that was the problem. But then, the "Converse All Star" on the back tab of both shoes began to peel off! They literally peeled right off! No, these were not real. I took them to a Converse store where even they could not believe the tabs were peeling! They guy told me, "Yeah, no,question. We do not cut corners at Converse and our trademark does not peel...." So instead of going through the return process, i "chucked" the shoes in the trash and bought a real pair instead directly from the Converse store...never again, Zappos!

not half as nice as my last pair from Zappos that I purchased previously

Been wearing this shoe for almost 3 months now. I like the feel, I like the look. However, the quality is very sub par. And what I mean by that, the color has started to fade on the sides of the shoes. I do wear these daily, but, I work at a desk so these shoes should not be showing this much wear. The sides are almost a grayish color. I'm very disappointed and will not be buying another pair any time soon. I would expect Chucks to last much longer then 3 month.
