Awesome adorable shoe September 30, 2008
Nicolle (Saline MI)
These shoes are for my daughter who is 9. She and I looked everywhere for this shoe in a physical store because I wanted her to try them on before buying (she has a wide foot) but had no luck, so I finally ordered them here and they fit great. I ordered her true women's size. She gets compliments on them all the time.
OUTSTANDING January 14, 2008

The high tops are just what my daughter wanted and the company was awesome! I orginally ordered the wrong color, emailed them the next day and without any problems or hesitation customer service corrected my order for me. The hi tops arrived in plenty of time for my daughter to fine them under the tree!!!
Chuckie T's... Still a classic January 12, 2008

I had a pair of Chuck Taylor Converse Hi tops in High school and I just bought a pair for my 16 yr old girl. She loves them and wears them all the time. Apparently they never go out of style. You can't go wrong even with the prissiest of girls. I mean they are hot pink!!! I am going to order a pair for myself.

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, not PINK! (Apparently, you couldn't find size 12 mens in hot pink. Oh, well.)
But, if you're a newcomer to Chucks, 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.
