Customer Reviews Converse Jack Purcell® Leather

Jack Purcell's the GREATEST! These shoes are the greatest. They have the greatest quality workmanship and last a lifetime. It is a classic and still going strong! If you do not have a pair of them, GET SOME and see for yourself!

Wonderful shoes - Was convinced to order the leather instead of the canvas which I'd normally opt for...Can't say I'm disappointed in the least! These shoes are great and replaced my same-marked-size Converse low-tops. What I mean to say is they run a little big compared to other shoes, but the same as other Converse. Or maybe my feet are just smaller than I want to admit :) Great shoes, stylish and REALLY comfy sole. Amazing and squishy, like I'm walking on air! I have wide feet, really high arches and they fit great.

My favorite shoes - I love these shoes. So comfy and stylish. They go very good with my jeans. One thing I didn’t like is that they turned the bottom of my socks blue. This goes away after a few times of wear. I’m a size 8 women’s and a size 8 women’s Jack Purcell sneaker fits perfect. Maybe it’s just because my foot is a little wide?

Good but a little gluey - Overall the shoes are great. But since you’re asking I did need to remove excess glue off of each shoe. Somehow there was dried glue on the sides of both shoes. I was able to use some products (Goo Gone) to get the glue off of the white leather.

Great shoes - I would buy these shoes once more, the only thing like most buyers of the Jack Purcell they run about a half size large. I am planning to purchase the canvas white; I'm very happy with my purchase. The only reason comfort wasn't 5 stars is because the shoe is a half size large. Also I'm very happy with Zappos return and shipping policy. The price they charged for the shoe with no tax and free over night shipping would have been the same as buying at a shoe store; the difference being I was able to buy a shoe that everybody doesn't have.

Black Leather Converse Jack Purcell - Absolutely love them! I always wear Converse and these have a more classic look with enough edge from the black leather. They feel great and look great!

Love them! I wore these shoes all summer and they have been great! However I would order a half size smaller, because they do run a little big (at least for the women they do).

Nice shoes - Had to return these. Ordered them down a half size like I do with all Converse shoes. Big mistake as they were too small. These fit true to size.

Sweet kicks - Love 'em. Way more comfortable than I imagined. The leather is thin and soft and the inside is plush. I got them in less than 24 hours! Zappos you the man.

All that I hoped they would be...and a little bit more! I purchased a pair of all white, leather Jack Purcell sneakers. Not only do they look super cool, but they are remarkably comfortable (my last pair of New Balance cost over 2X as much and weren't anywhere near as easy on these old legs) and because I purchased leather, easy to keep clean and continue to look new. I used to wear Purcell's when I was a kid (I'm 62 now), and still enjoy how they feel. I strongly urge the rest of the baby boomer generation to do as I did and go back to the days of raked cars, cheerleaders and making out in the back seat to strap on a pair and be "transported" back to the 60's & 70's when times were good, women showed less flesh and Mom and apple pie still important items in our lives. Thanks Jack!

It’s been two years... It’s been to Vegas, Los Angeles, and of course San Jose, and still breathing like always. Of course after two years, the heel gave in a little, but nonetheless, still one of my favorite pairs. Grown up version of the Chuck Taylors. And just purchased my newest one for my birthday. But chose the John Varvatos version. I don’t like the laceless one, but heck, I can always add em after right? Great pair of shoes. No arch though, but then it works great.

Jack Purcell Leather Converse - These shoes look great, feel comfortable, and fit my narrow foot! And they're fun to wear.

These are great all purpose shoes. Perfect with jeans for walking around convention shows or whatever. Wouldn't wear for long or brisk walks that require more arch support.

I like the shoes but the size runs big. I usually wear a 6, sometimes 5.5; I got size 5.5 (women)/4 (men) for these Jack Purcells but they still look too long. I think I will exchange and try for a 5 in women's...but I wonder if that will be too tight.

Fits well and nice style. However, as expected from a non-support shoe, the shoe feels a little "floppy" - mainly a little wide across the toe area along with no support. Regardless, I like them a lot.

I ordered it on a Thursday night, and they guaranteed a Christmas eve delivery. Sure enough, it came on Saturday. I was extremely surprised at the quick delivery and impressed. If anything, the quick delivery was worth it. Oh, and my son liked the shoes!

A comfortable sneaker, but unlike the apparently discontinued brown version, these black ones run more on the wide-side, so they might feel a tad loose for anyone with a foot that is somewhat narrow. I just find myself retying them and then they feel okay again.

I have very wide feet (4E) yet these shoes fit just fine, I did not have to order a size up or anything. They look pretty snazzy and the metal ends of the shoe laces add to that feel. One thing to note is these shoes are not for the winter. They have zero insulation and the bottoms are easily the slickest things on ice I have ever tried to walk in. For those reasons they lose a star. In the summer they will rock though.

Purcell Low - A true classic, I bought the leather edition after seeing them on a buddy. The only gripe I have with them is that the leather is a bit thinner than I'm used to, we'll see how they hold up. A good looking knock around sneaker, great with 501's.

Go Converse - I would recommend my friends to by this style of sneaker. It reminds me of the sneakers I grew up wearing with the exception of them being leather, and on my next purchase I will be buying the black sneakers.

These shoes rock! I have wide feet with short toes, so normally I have major issues finding something cute that doesn't look like an orthopedic grandma shoe. What has been said about these shoes running a tad bit large must be true because I ordered a women's 9 (normally I would have to buy a 9-wide) and they fit like a glove. Plus, they are too cute! Can't wait to get another pair. (The free 2-way shipping is great too!)

Good Old Jack - Nice value for the traditionalist...

Jack Purcell leather shoes - This shoe is a good alternative to the regular converse. It's a little wider and stronger of a shoe. I stretched the toes out with my shoe stretcher anyway. Not much arch support. Looks good with bells or boot leg pants. Not for skinny jeans, the shoe's a tad too big. Overall cute shoe.

Classic and New York chic! This is the best all around sneaker for the New Yorker - its on trend with its preppy and classic style and gives the comfort you need on the streets (or the dance floors!) of the big apple!
