Wrong product
The shoes came really fast but they were not the ones that I ordered. I ordered the black and white chucks and when I opened the box, they were completely black. There was not enough time to call and complain to get the correct ones.

* These were exactly what I wanted, at a great price, and speedy delivery! The only thing I would have changed about anything, is that I would like to have seen even more pics b4 the purchase. ...

Great shoes.
I always liked the way they looked, but thought they were too expensive for the simplicity.
Mind, living here in New Mexico is realy hot so after looking for some fresh shoes I finally decided to give these Converse a shot.
Pleasently suprised as I was, these things actually are as comfy as everyone always says. Not too much ankle support unless you lace them up tight though. But I found they can be evrything you want them to be. For support, lace them tight. For more comfort and ventilation, lace them loose. On top of that they fit with every pair of pants, even dress pants.
My feet are not hot anymore and walking has become more enjoyable.

Converse All Stars
* The shoes are great, and the shipping time was reasonable, as was the price. A warning: not all types can be shipped to Canada, which is frustrating to find out just as you're finishing up an order. ...

Five Star All Stars
Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars are not just a fashion statement. Back in the day, they were my choice of athletic footwear -- following in my father's footsteps -- while starting center on the high school basketball team. For a 6'2" white guy with a moderate vertical leaping ability, I didn't have to worry about losing any spring in my step, and I always led stats in rebounds and blocked shots against players wearing the then-ubiquitous Adidas, Puma and Converse "Dr. J" hi-tops. In all fairness, and as a disclaimer, 80% of the opposing team members were white guys, too.
Still, though I have absolutely no vertical leap left (hey. I graduated 24 years ago), I still wear these shoes, just because. Like one reviewer pointed out, they're a great conversation starter. Plus, they're as comfy as a second pair of feet.
At the turn of the 20th to the 21st century, it appeared that there'd be NO Chucks left at all: The Massachusetts factory was closing down, and Chucks appeared to be going the way of acid-wash jeans. Fortunately (or, unfortunately, if you're a member of the garment workers' union), Converse went through some reorganization and now makes these overseas, presumably in China.
Well, I'm boycotting the People's Republic of China, an anti-labor country that has helped more American CEOs bust unions than just about anyone else. Its own people are slave labor. Fortunately, I thought ahead, so when Converse was on the ropes, I went out to every shoe store around and bought up all the size 12 hi tops I could find. To be exact, 143 pairs -- a closet full. I've got 'em in white, optical white, green, red, basic black, navy blue, yellow, orange, you name it. Set me back $2700, but was worth every penny, knowing that American workers made them.
I AM THE IMELDA MARCOS OF CONVERSE CHUCK TAYLOR ALL-STAR SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But, if you're a newcomer to them, or missed the boat, I won't hate ya for buying these for yourselves. They are so cool, I'll look the other way.
I have to look the other way myself: I buy the toddler sizes for my two wittle one. Aw!!!! :) At least I help keep American shoe store employees employed, if not factory workers.
