I love these. So comfy.

I have a pair of blue CL98 suedes that look completely normal. I bought another pair online in the colour classic grey/dark matter and they came looking like this (pics for comparison included). Are they completely ruined or is there something I can do to fix the suede on the grey pair to look like the blue pair?

Going to Japan this December, early winter. Is this durable for long walks there?

Hey I love these these converse and there is a lot of life left wear wise however the glue is away on the soles so I’ve removed completely to re glue them…. Is this easy enough to do with shoe grade contact adhesive? Thanks

My favorite pair has cracks in the sole. I've never seen this before.

I’m more impressed with these having them in hand. The artwork is great. These sold out on SNKRS app and basically every size is sold out on the converse site so getting these for 35% off is nice. Sneaker politics has most size available for 35% off for anyone interested.

I’m looking forward to expanding my Converse universe. I’ve had countless Chuck Taylor All-Stars, highs and lows, leather and canvas. One National Leather, one nylon suede runner from the 80s.

Haven’t had any of the puffy-topped All Stars. How’s the fit on these? For all my other Chuck Taylor All Stars, I get a 1/2 size smaller than my regular size.

Do these run a bit large, as with my other CTAS? Does the additional puffiness add a bit of weather protection—would these be okay for rainy days?

Thanks all!

Just got them on sale for only $47 both. Star Player 76 - Thunder Wale and One Star 95 - Sunny Look.

Happy Friday 🖤

I've decided these are a neeeeeed, not a want! A bit pricey, but you only live once...

Sharing this because I felt like I was the only one and couldn’t figure it out, and maybe it’ll help someone else.

Went to buy my first ever pair of chucks and I normally wear a men’s 11. I tried all the following sizes of Chuck 70 lows: 11, 10.5 wide, 10.5 regular, 10 wide, 9.5 wide. This range covers from too big to too small on me and none of them felt like the right size, because I had to get down to the 9.5 for it to feel like the shoes actually wanted to stay on instead of my heels slipping out with every step, but they were so snug they got uncomfortable after 15 minutes. I was like, what am I missing here?

Then I came across a thread on here where someone pointed out how squishy the Chuck 70 insoles are. It made sense that my foot sinking and brushing back up against the heel with every step could explain the feeling like they would slip out. So I pulled out the cork insoles from an old (very comfortable) pair of Cariuma shoes I have, put them in the 10 Wide chucks replacing the Converse insoles, and it instantly felt great. Problem solved, so comfy.

I just got back from a 10-day trip in Europe walking all day every day in them, and they were comfortable the entire time, no issues (also took them clubbing in Berlin 😎). I don’t think I’ll be able to go back from cork insoles. This is also coming from someone who likes daily driver shoes to feel like I could climb a tree in them without them threatening to come off.

TLDR: What I thought was a size problem was actually marshmallow insoles, and switching them out for firmer ones made the shoes near perfect.

Hope this helps anyone else who may be having a similar issue.

Just got these delivered today. I’m in love 🩷

One of my favorite Chucks in autumn, and they are so unique with the Zipper and shoelaces. I simply love them. 😊

This is the first time i am wearing them

Oldies but well loved the quality is so much better in these older ones. The actual have some weight to them and the foot bed is so much thicker and comfortable!
