Nothing compares to the look of the real thing and these are the real thing. I ordered one pair in true size and one pair a 1/2 size down just in case. The true size was the correct one. In addition to a retro look, be prepared for a retro fit close to the ground, low heel, and narrow across the ball of the foot. I doubt this shoe would work well for all day walking/hiking.

Greatest Shoes EVER!
I have been wearing my current pair of Jack Purcells for three years and they are still my favorite -- so I'm browsing for another color. I wear these with jeans, shorts, skirts, dresses and they always look perfect, hip, and low-key. They are also insanely comfortable, which is saying a lot because I have major foot issues. Get these!

Enjoying my Converse Jack Purcell shoes...
I purchased these shoes for a casual alternative to my typical flat shoes with jeans look. I am so glad I did! Not only are these shoes super comfortable but I think they look great too. I got the natural/tan color and it is very neutral so it goes well with jeans. In addition these shoes have great support so I can wear them all day and still feel like I just put them on. They were a great purchase!

Excellent -
My experience was awesome, received order next day. I wear a 6, ordered 6 1/2 and they fit perfect. They are very comfortable even without shoes which is how I wear them...I perfect 10 in my book.

Parchment Jack Purcell -
Very cute and comfy! Looks nice with Khakis too. Zappos is the fastest too!

Comfy shoes -
Sneakers so comfortable I bought a second pair. And the shipping was fast. I have narrow feet so the shoes are perfect. Not for the wide-feet crowd.

Love these shoes...
I love the Jack Purcell Converse...once the right size was sent out to me, which Zappos was very easy and helpful in doing. If you are usually between sizes, definitely go for the smaller as they tend to run big. The sneakers are great! I love how they have actually some comfort support as opposed to the regular Chuck Taylors which do not.

Love this shoe -
I like the Jack Purcell better than my Chuck Taylor. I have narrow feet, and the Chuck's made my feet look like I was wearing clown shoes. Not so with the Jack's. I took these with me to Europe. I didn't wear them everyday, but I did wear them a couple of times. They were pretty comfy. I did try using an insert, but took them out as it made the shoe too small.

These are very comfortable and are great looking casual shoes that can be dressed up a little bit too! I have found them to be true to size.

Classic look, more comfort compared to Chuck Taylor -
You get the classic look similar to Chucks, but way more comfort for not much more change.

COOL shoes that are comfy, too.
The main issue with ordering these seems to be size, since Purcell's are reputed to be sized differently from Converse. I am a size 7, so I ordered a women's size 7. They fit. Easy. I almost ordered a 6.5 because of what I had heard, but that wasn't working for other reviewers. These are comfy and stylish and perfect with my jeans. Get your size, and you should be fine.

My 2nd Pair...
These are my second pair of Converse Jack Purcell's! These shoes are great for casual and all-day wear. I've had no problems with this brand. Love this shoe and love the Zappos service!

Not quite perfect -
Maybe I should have gotten leather instead of canvas, or maybe I've just gotten older, but they just aren't perfect anymore. I liked the Parchment color because it wouldn't look too new, but it does. Still a great shoe, love the smile, always Jack Purcell (rather than Chuck), but maybe I should wear grown up shoes. I saw them on someone else and they looked great. I'm happy with them, just not ecstatic.

I LOVE MY NEW SHOES!!!
I was looking for a new casual sneaker that I could also wear with skirts and dresses........I found them!!! They're comfortable enough to wear everyday and still be able to dress them up a bit. Perfect for casual Fridays at the office!!! I want more colors now.

Great converse -
I love them! The colors are great, the rubber is creamy which makes the shoe look less stark.

Love Converse Shoes!
Like the look of these shoes. When dressing down, I wear Nikes 180 & 360's and these are a nice change from my running shoes.

I love Jack Purcells'...
But look out for how Zappos does the sizing. Purcell’s women's sizes are 1 1/2 sizes larger than the men's. They list the sizes at 7/8.5 or 7/9...if you are a size 9, you want the 7.5 exactly. I went through about 3 different pairs because of their bad sizing and I am still wearing a 1/2 size too large because they ran out of my size. So be wary, these are amazing shoes and they look great but women's sizes are only 1.5 sizes larger than men's here!

A more comfortable Converse!
I was thrilled when I realized that I could fit my orthotic inserts into this shoe, as it is impossible with Chuck Taylors. However, even with the original (removable) footbed they are comfortable. I really like the improvements they have made; I only wish that they offered Purcells in some of the funky colors and patterns that they have for Chuck Taylors.

Most favorite Jacks ever!
Jacks are Jacks--one of my all-time favorite shoes--but the green/white combo I recently ordered are the best-looking pair I've ever owned. Love them.

Very cute! These are the perfect shoes for kicking around town. You should definitely go one half size down from normal, though; they run a little bit big.

Great shoes, more comfortable than old style -
This is a great update to the original Jack Purcell I had as a kid. In every way an improvement, including fit, cushioning, and style. My only caveat is that the sizing information on Zappos as reviewed by other buyers is wrong: buy your true size, not a half size up as others recommend.
