Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Low Top Sneakers

التعليق

I’ve been wearing converse now for several years now as my go to shoe. I find them to be very comfortable and I really like the style. However, after accepting the need to buy a new pair every 4-6 mos I think I’ve had my fill of this shoe. They fall apart. Literally. It’s not like other shoes where the fabric and sole wear over time. These simply fall apart after use. Today I was walking and it was wet outside (not raining) and I noticed my sock was getting saturated. I didn’t step in any puddles so I stopped to check and noticed the bottom of my shoe sole by the front left pinky toe had separated and there was now a gap between the white shoe lining and the sole of the shoe. I could fish my finger through the hole and touch my foot. Initially I had though “well it’s time to get a new pair” but I reconsidered and realized that that was insanity. This shoe was a piece of crap. It’d be one thing if the shoe was inexpensive, but it’s not. $50 is a considerable price. I have other shoes at the same price point that have lasted YEARs. So net net, it’s an iconic poorly made shoe. Two stars only because I do like the style, but quality just isn’t there.

I bought these as a gift for my son. These are the third pair of Warhol Converse Ive bought him and so far theyre his favorite. One thing that should be pointed out (and perhaps it was and I missed it), is that these are not traditional canvas. They are more of a slick, waterproof material (similar to oil cloth, but not glossy.) This is a plus for him because he likes that they dont get dirty as easily and when they do, they can be wiped clean. Because of that he is wearing them more often than his canvas pairs, but that may not be a plus for everyone.

It took me awhile to figure out if these were authentic or not, especially after reading all the reviews. The key indicator I found was on the size tag on the inside of the tongue: authentic Converse have the size in “CM” in the last column, and fakes say “MM”. Authentic Converse boxes also shouldn’t have any writing in Chinese. All in all, if your goal is to make people think you’re wearing authentic Converse, these are very convincing. However, 1) why would you spend the same amount on fake Converse that you would on real ones and 2) because these aren’t authentic they will fall apart much faster.

Please do not purchase these faulty Converse. This is the second pair that I have bought from this seller with faulty design. In less than 1 month the sole has separated for the shoe causing any water to leak in immediately (BOTH SHOES!!!). My previous pair had the same issue, but they at least held out for a few months before it was an issue. I had also thought I just got a bad pick and it was a fluke. Save yourself time and money and buy from another provider, or purchase in store to guarantee a quality pair of these classics.

(NOTE: Amazon wont let me post a review without answering the "How does the product fit?" question. In my case, no matter what answer I choose, it is incorrect. The Chuck Taylors are both too large and too small for my feet.) This is the worst fitting shoe Ive ever tried. Definitely not for wide feet. Okay, they look cool, come in colors and have a long history. Theyve become fashionable among certain groups of people. They seem to me to be very well made of good material. I cant fault them for style or build. But I cant wear the things. I wear an 11 EE in a street shoe. That is consistently, every time with shoes measured on a regular US last. In athletic shoes that only come in medium width, I go up a half to a full size depending on the brand. In athletic shoes that come in wide sizes, I still have to go up a half size and sometimes up to a 4E, again depending on brand. There is no consistency whatsoever in athletic shoe brands. Some never fit me properly (Adidas and Puma) while some fit me well (Onitsuka Tigers, Asics and New Balance). I was hoping the Converse would work but that is not to be. First off, the Chuck Taylors are about a full size oversized in length. But since I have to buy larger than normal for width, I ordered some in my standard athletic shoe size 11.5, hoping that would even out the too long length with the too narrow width. Didnt happen. They are much too long, at least a full size. They are also too narrow, almost like a mens B width. I tried them with and without socks. With socks, my toes get pinched together by the narrow width in the toe area. Without socks, the toes feel better but the shoe slides up and down on my heel when I walk. I tried cinching them tight with the laces but could not keep them from sliding on my heel. Hoping they would stretch in the width a bit, I tried wearing them for two days around the house, in the backyard and in the neighborhood. Not a lot of walking, just puttering around. They dont work for me. If I ordered a size smaller, the length would probably be fine when worn without socks. But my toes would undoubtedly feel like theyre in a vice. Since Ive worn them on the street, I cant return them. At least I bought them on sale and didnt pay the normal $50 +/- going price. Someone shopping at Goodwill with long, narrow feet might be happy with them.
