Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High-Top Sneaker - Men's

Chucks have always been my go to sneaker a very long time. I've always wore chucks to train in at the gym, and I've been training 39 years, powerlifting for 22 years. They are durable and can handle the abuse i put them through at the gym.

After wearing only Adidas for years, my 16 year old son wanted a pair of Converse. I wasn’t sure if he’d like them (they do fit differently than running shoes), but he loves them! He said they fit perfectly straight out of the box and that they’re super comfortable.

A classic. So glad I finally bought my first pair. I'm in lovee

Ordered red Chuck Taylor size 15 in men’s. Arrived today and they must have been 2 inches too long. Didn’t fit at all. Greatly disappointed ☹️

I own 5 pairs of Converse. They are my absolute favorite shoes.

I wear a size 10.5 so I get the converse in 10. They fit great.

I have older pairs sitting right next to the new ones and the difference is pretty stark. Since Nike bought Converse the quality has been sliding and this is the worst it’s been. I wanted to like these. I’ve been buying Chuck Taylors for years. They padded the canvas on the Chuck Taylor All Star. I get why that sounds like a good thing but it’s not. Chucks were always flat and firm and that’s what made them break in naturally over time. These feel cheap and off right out of the box. Nike quietly stopped advertising 12 oz canvas and it shows in your hands the second you pick them up. The vulcanized rubber sole is the bigger problem. Less rubber, shallower tread pattern. My older Chuck Taylors have a deeper grip pattern and way more traction. These look almost half worn before you even lace them up for the first time. That rubber is not going to last, and there’s no fixing it. Nike is cutting corners on an iconic shoe and loyal customers notice. Not what they used to be.

My daughter states it’s perfect!
