ConverseUnisex Classic Chuck Taylor All Star Low Top Sneakers (10 B(M) US Women / 8 D(M) US Men., Black)

After reading the reviews, I was apprehensive about ordering these. I'm glad I didn't listen and ordered them for my daughter's prom. It's the in thing to do, wear converse with prom dresses. My daughter chose a black prom dress, and pink flowers. We decided to get the pink converse for that pop of color. After posting some of hee prom pics, her shoes received so many compliments. They are the cutest shoes you will ever see! If you're concerned about them being the real deal, don't be. We have several pair between us and these look identical.

Please watch were you get these classics. I find it hard justifying more than $45 at most but make sure you get these from a reputable seller that cares! The fit runs a half size large, so scale down on size, and they need good insoles to protect those who have low or fallen arches. If you want to make the jump in cost, save your money and purchase the Chuck Taylor 2 with canvas. They last longer, don't fade as quick, and offers better cushioning & support for your arches. I purchased from 2 sellers-- LASTPAIRS which didn't get my order correct (put a dirty size 10 in a 10.5 shoe box; which I sent back) & from SHOEMERICA which sent a two toned right foot (taupe & grey) which I didn't really recognize until in dim light AFTER I had worn them around town...Don't make the same mistake I did!

I have had dozens of pairs of converse and I have never been so dissatisfied. I have been wearing these since the new year and they are already falling apart. They are not showing any real wear or discoloration they are simply just coming apart. I will never order converse online again I wil strictly buy them in store. Save your money, I do not wear these everyday and I already have to throw them out. Thanks for nothing.

I finally killed my original chucks in under a year this time, by blowing out the back heel. I opted to finally give these a shot even though they are almost double the price, but I was excited to at least give them a shot before considering crawling back weeping to a brand new pair of the originals.I ripped these out of the package immediately, pulled out the black laces, and put in the white ones, because I am going for the original look, and I like the white laces instead. Personal preference *shrug*The first thing I noticed was the elastic tongue stays on the inside of the shoe, I don't personally find these necessary but I do think it's a great addition for those who don't like the tongue sliding from side to side. It's pretty neat to think about decades of complaints about the tongue sliding all over the place.Secondly, these don't weigh a TON like the classics, I don't feel like I am dragging bricks everywhere when I am picking up my feet.Thirdly, I did not need to put in insoles in these at all. That means less weight put into the shoe itself to make it comfortable. I like that.My only physical shoe complaint is that they are now just a smidge smaller than the classics in width and overall fit. If a company is gonna do such rad things to the chuck, then at least offer this in a wide for those who want some wiggle room (or like to wear thick socks in the fall and winter) it just makes sense to not leave out an entire market of people with wide feet from getting to buy these kicks. I'm stuck in between standard and wide widths, so this is always a gamble I make when buying shoes. it's just a touch uncomfy, but it's livable for me at least.My only actual cosmetic complaint is I miss the silver lace eyelets, the sidewall stripes, and of course, the white stitching that for me is synonymous with the Chuck Taylor shoe. but oh well, I can sacrifice what I find pretty and appealing about a shoe because these are so comfortable!

The Nike technology really brought the Chuck Taylor's into the 21st century. I like that they provided both black and white shoe laces.

Hit and miss with the Chuck IIs. I've worn a few pairs of these for a bunch of walking while traveling (10+ miles/day).Things I like:1) The Lunarlon insoles make these sooooo much more comfortable than the old Chucks, especially for walking around.2) Though some folks aren't a huge fan of the styling (missing the racing stripe and all), it has grown on me. I like the burgundy shoes with burgundy laces, black shoes with black laces.3) They fit like regular shoes should fit. Order your regular size, or a half size larger than what you wear with original Chucks.Things I don't like:1) Longevity leaves some to be desired. The middle part of the sole on two pairs has come apart from the edge on two different pairs. The rubber seems to wear faster than the older Chucks.2) Some problems initially wearing them with the Lunarlon insole. The fabric that is glued on to the insole sometimes comes loose and starts peeling off. This is quite uncomfortable to have rubbing around on your heel.

Shipped faster than even Amazon said it would, I love that. Fit is perfect! I've read reviews that said they run large, I'm a woman between sizes 9.5-10 and was nervous about buying size 10, thinking it'd be too large, but it's perfect! I've gotten compliments all day from people of all ages. Chucks are a fashion icon that spans all generations!
