I cried when I tried these on for the first time. I've always been a huge fan of converse because I love how they look, but as someone with wide feet, I used to have to size up and I have always endured a painful and long breaking in process. I loved how they looked, but they were always too long for my feet to make up for the width. I was hopeful when I saw that Converse sells wide width shoes now, but these SURPASSED my expectations! Never in my life did I think I would be able to try on a pair of converse straight out of the box and have them fit my foot like a glove. I felt like Cinderella! These are my new favorite shoes and I plan to buy them in a handful of colors. I hope that Converse expands their wide width range in the future, because I have always ... MoreI cried when I tried these on for the first time.

I do not agree that these run large. Chuck Taylors have always been narrow. I wore a 5.5/7.5 for years (when I could find them). Since I've been working on getting my feet back to their natural shape, I've moved away from narrow shoes but some outfits just need classic Chucks. I went with an 6/8 wide and am happy with them. My toes don't feel bunched or get hot spots on the outside of my little toe. The heels are a bit wider than I need but I'm happy with them. I tried both a 7.5 and an 8 and there really wasn't much of a size different when I compared them, so I went with the 8s.

I've owned 3 pairs of All Stars since 2004, and to my surprise when I received my new pair and went to put them on this morning I discovered that the lining material is not a sturdy canvas like all of my old pairs. The new lining is some sort of mesh foam material. It's thicker but also flimsier and makes the shape of the shoe look totally different. If I wanted sneakers with an athletic running shoe-type lining, I would have bought running shoe-type sneakers. I used the chat customer service and was told that all All Stars have this mesh foam lining and was offered a refund if I don't like it. I'm going to have to hold off trying to buy these ever again unless they go back to the canvas lining.

Long time Chuck wearer. I love these shoes and they are perfect for my old lady orthotics and arch supports since they have flat bottoms. Giving four stars because the tongue is too long and it rubs the front of my ankle. I compared with an older pair and the tongues weren’t always this long so I’m not sure when they thought lengthening that was necessary but I wish they’d shorten it again. I work around it by tying the laces BEHIND the tongue to keep it away from the skin but it would be cool to not have to worry about front ankle blisters. Still, I’ve been wearing these for too long to give up on them. Would buy again, I’ll just whine about the tongue when I do.
I just wanted to say - NEVER GET RID OF THE NEW LINING you have put into Converse Chuck Taylors!!I am speaking of this "mesh" lining that now line the inside of the shoes, compared to the extremely uncomfortable canvas lining that these shoes used to have.Thanks to these shoes with this new mesh lining, these are literally now my everyday shoes. With the old hard coarse canvas lining, my feet would hurt after one day of wearing them, and I'd have to literally take a "Converse break" for a few days to let my feet heal.Now with these mesh linings in the Chuck Taylors - they are actually padded, comfortable, and they are a true pleasure to wear. Literally all I wear now are Chuck Taylors every single day, thanks to this minor change, but it's made all the ... MoreI just wanted to say - NEVER GET RID OF THE NEW LINING you have put into Converse Chuck Taylors!!I am speaking of this "mesh" lining that now line the inside of the shoes, compared to the extremely uncomfortable canvas lining that these shoes used to have.Thanks to these shoes with this new mesh lining, these are literally now my everyday shoes.

I marked these true to size since the size chart recommends sizing down. I usually wear a 9.5W shoe and got these in a solid 9W. They are PERFECT in every way: 1. They are the most beautiful shade of a bubblegum/hot pink. 2. They are very comfortable! 3. They have the tab that keeps the tongue of your shoe in place. You know that little piece of fabric under your laces that you weave the laces through? Why do some converse NOT have that anymore? It bothers me so much when the tongue of a high top is all the way to the side. Anyways, get these shoes. Highly recommend 🩷
As a woman with a vast collection of chucks, it’s been a while since I purchased a new pair. The current seasonal purple is gorgeous, but I was surprised to find the canvas liner replaced with a synthetic mesh and straight up disappointed with the performance difference when I wore them. The new chucks feel stiffer overall, flex less when walking, and left my feet sweaty. In addition to the whole shoe feeling stiffer, the heel construction has also changed. The heel feels like it may be lined with a plastic insert rather than a coated canvas, which is ultimately the deal breaker. End of an era. If anyone with the power to address this is reading: please bring the original canvas construction back.
I have always loved the way Converse look but they have always been so narrow! I don't normally need wide width shoes but the regular sizing was too narrow for me. I decided to order the wide width on these in white and I love them! They're so cute! But they do run long. I am normally a 7 or 7.5 in shoes and I ordered those sizes here (they say to size down, but I figured the 7 would fit). The 7s were comfortable but still too long so I ordered the 6.5. Length was perfect but the heels were rubbing when I tried them on and I noticed that the 6.5 had stitching in the inner back of the heel that the 7s and 7.5s didn't have. I considered contacting Converse to see if they have any 6.5s without that stitching but didn't feel like dealing with the hassle so I just kept ... MoreI have always loved the way Converse look but they have always been so narrow!

They are really cute but I hope they are phasing out the design with the stitching on the heel! I want to order them in black too.
I love these shoes: they look great with everything you could possibly want to wear and come in endless colors, especially with the custom option. Like many, I have multiple pairs. But please, please stop gluing the insoles in. I still have several pairs from a few years ago that didn't have them glued in so I can slip in my own insoles. The insoles in Chuck 70s apparently aren't glued in but I really REALLY don't like the off-white midsoles. The insoles in the latest all stars are glued in so heavily I have to take them to a cobbler to remove, and even he can't get it completely out. Please, stop gluing them in? Or give us an option in the custom build to not do it?
