Beautiful, but Order your correct size!
My daughter and I loved designing the shoe and the finished product was beautiful. The lower score is in regards to the size suggestion. We ordered a 1/2 size smaller based on the site recommendation and now the shoes we received do not fit. We had been to the local converse store tying on shoes earlier that morning so we were certain of the correct size since she had tried on several pairs at the store. I would recommend ordering your size and not a 1/2 size down as they recomend, otherwise this is an absolutely wonderful product.... Show more

Comfy!!!
As far as converse go, I've had many other pairs before and I know I wear a Women's 8 (I'm usually an 8.5 or 9 in most other shoes), and this shoe fits how I had anticipated. I love the comfy sole of this shoe! One thing about this style is that it doesn't have the loop on the tongue of the shoe to keep the shoelaces in place, but I haven't decided if that's a big deal because the loop isn't always helpful anyways. Love the color I got. It looks different in different lightings, but I think that makes it versatile. I was a bit hesitant about trying the Chuck 70 model, but I would recommend it over the classic Chuck Taylor's if not for the cushioned sole alone.... Show more

Different shape, material, and color
I gave these a try, thinking they'd be like vintage All Stars high tops. Unfortunately, they seem less formed to the ankle, and less wide at the mid-foot, with a pointer toe. The off-white doesn't give authentically old, just yellowish, and the material feels more hard plastic than the newer rubbery texture. All in all, ended up immediately returning.... Show more

Look Great, frustrating fit
The color is awesome. That said, they’re the most frustrating fit… narrow and don’t come in wide options, but kind of long. I ordered 1/2 size down as recommended, painfully narrow across the top, too snug. Exchanged for a 1/2 size bigger, my usual 9, and they're still a bit narrow, but a smidge long. The toe box is also VERY shiny, like it’s sealed in a gloss. I want to love them, but 3/5 stars at best.... Show more

My New Favorite Chucks
I’ve been wearing Size 7 All Stars for decades and these Chuck 70’s fit me perfectly in a size 7 for anyone wondering if there is a fit difference between them. I have wide feet, double E (EE) in boots and these fit me well like the All stars did, not too narrow. The Chuck 70’s are much better comfort wise than the Allstars in my opinion with the comfort soles (Which Are Replaceable!) and the overall sturdier build of the shoe, you can actually feel the difference in the thicker canvas and the rubber soles. I really like the narrower look that the high sidewall and the set back toe cap outline give the shoe. The rubber has a very glossy finish that’s not as distracting as I thought it might be. I purchased the Universe Teal and Tawny Owl versions and both are nice ...

If these Chuck 70’s hold up at least as well as regular Allstars I’ll probably never buy another pair of regular Allstars again.... Show more

No sizing description
Beautiful shoes and arrived in great condition, I just can't wear them because I mistakenly ordered the wrong size. This is because the website makes this very confusing! There is no specification that the sizes listed are for MEN so I ordered a size 7 thinking these were unisex sizes and when they arrived, they were a men's size 7/women's size 9! To make it worse, when I ordered there was no explanation that these were final sale so I can't even return them. So if you shop for women's sizes make sure you check the sizing on the CONVERSE website and size down! JD Sports, I recommend providing more info for your online customers.... Show more

quality isn't as great
I've been wearing Chucks since the 90s and these are just not the same quality I'm used to. The plastic is very shiny, the shoes seem to be more narrow than before, and the tongue is missing the tab to keep it in place with the shoe laces. They are listed as running large but in my opinion, they definitely do not. I bought my regular size (7 in women) and they actually fit very snuggly...enough so where I should have actually bought a half-size up for better comfort. Love the color but overall pretty disappointed.... Show more

Sizing off, uncomfortable,
Honestly, I don't like the Chuck 70's. They're somehow both too big, with lots of heel slippage & your feet aren't secure, and too small - the toe box is very squashed and short. I've tried everything from extra soles to heel grips to gel heel socks but they just gave me blisters and squashed toes. The bottom is flat and hard and that also causes pain. As someone who finds the All Stars very comfortable and true to size straight out of the box, these are incredibly disappointing. I kept them because I love the colour but I'm beginning to regret it.... Show more

Timeless style
I have the black 70’s from Pat Menzies and decided to purchase the blue (enchanted waters) also. Timeless style, so does not date like the now and then styles of other brands. I always seem to have a problem with my big toe breaking through other branded sneakers and running shoes, ruining the shoes that have seen limited use. With the Chuck’s, this is not an issue with their toe caps. They look good with jeans and shorts and colours to choose from to suit your mood and changing seasons. Although they look cool, they are a bit uncomfortable for extended walking, for me anyway. When new the white stitching pops and they look clean and fresh with the glossy off white varnished finish. Enjoy, d.... Show more

Two thumbs up!!
These shoes are super cute/comfy!! You can't go wrong with converse. My only caution is that the color description of "pale yellow" I don't think is very accurate. I would describe them more like a tannish fatigue color, which actually works great for me. As far as the sizing, I find them to be a "generous" true to fit size. I will definitely get a lot of use out of these ones!!... Show more
