they did demolish my little toes until I got used to them and stretched them out (maybe I got a size too small). But after that i fell in love. I even run in them like Rocky. They're the most comfortable shoes for anything (except hiking of course)
Another great video- these just ooze nostalgia. One of the guys we ball with on the weekends still wears these for playing. I found my pair to be too squeaky and have a “clop” sound that I couldn’t get over. I bought my son a pair of 13Y and it wasn’t until he could actually fit them that his teacher contacted me that they were both a right side foot!! No help from Converse.
You can get wide offerings in the classic color options now. They are significantly better than sizing up a whole size like I did for years. Still narrow in the toe box for a 4E foot but better.
If I could have any pair of sneakers or collect any special edition sneakers, it would be the All-stars. These have been my favourite shoes since I was a kid and I've loved wearing them(still need to buy my own pair one day😅) They are so popular here in South Africa as well. The design and the cool factor got me hooked on them . Next to the Adidas superstar, The All-stars are my favourite sneakers ever
My older brother throughout his whole life has seemed to wear almost nothing but converse and dr martens, I’ve seen his converse collection (he’s kept them once a pair falls apart for years) and he has almost any color of the rainbow and most have custom colored laces, they’re very comfortable shoes and I notice I’m true to size as my feet are a standard width. This in my opinion is one of the best shoes you can buy especially for the price, I prefer the high tops as they’re only 10$ more and I love the star patch! Great video! Deserved a like!
I ordered a pair of all stars a couple of weeks ago. When i noticed the new (cheap) lining i sent them back. I doubt these would last longer than six months before wearing out. I stay with my StarPlayer76
I also thought the same thing, so I looked for another store that still sold the old version and I go for it. the new one felt so comfortable but i'm not sure about the durability
It's just about Chuck season for me. I think I might try the Chuck 70's. See if I get some more millage out of them. I use to pay $25 for the low tops in the 90's
@@StrayReviews It's a little hard to pull the trigger on then, knowing I use to buy Chucks for $25 and the 70's are $90. But how can I NOT try a pair. I 've only been wearing chucks sense grade school.
They did add this minimally padded lining on the inside. I appreciate the added comfort. Also, the Ortholite footbed is present in the Chuck 70. The material of the regular Chucks' footbed is just standard EVA. I'm going against the current here, but I find these EVA footbeds more comfortable than the Ortholite ones.
Look nice but thin. I didn't see those kinds at my local shoe stores. They seem to sell a different kind more in line with the current sneaker model with more thickness it seems.
Converse Chuck Taylor are just overprice for what they are , you can get now day a copy for 5-10 euro that will be just as good , why send the 60 just for the coverse logo ,,
@@StrayReviewsyee just like dr martens , they made a shoe about 100years a go , become cool i the 70 , by the 80/90 adopted by the outcast , punk ,skinhead, rockers , goths ,grunge , and by the 2000 become fashion overprice crap ,
@@StrayReviews look also at jackets , like the perfecto or the flight jacket created in the 20is and 50is adopted by rockers punks metal heads ,in 70-90is still in fashion ,
What do you think? Footwear staple or overhyped sneaker?
Footwear staple.
It's cheap
It's comfortable
It's stylish
It's the most versatile
It's immortal ❤
Immortal! Yes!

Yep, they're a little narrow up in the toebox. I'm wearing mine as I write this!

Wow, that must have been massively disappointing. Chucks are just the coolest!
this deserve more views
Thanks Avishek!
these and pro keds were big when i was growing up in 1970's
Heck yes!

I didn't know that. That's excellent!!
I've got A width feet. I still wear two pairs of socks with Chucks.

Thank you! I'm wearing mine today. Every time I put them on, I'm reminded why they have been so popular for so long.

Very nice! I’m giving some serious consideration to a pair of 70s. Great looking sneaks!

@@jeffgrantMEDIA Stii, pretty cheap per wear cost for me, when I consider how often I'll wear them.
A fantasy writer who also reviews converse for UA-cam? You’ve got my subscription, dear fellow. Keep up the great content and good work!
Thanks so much Hugo!
it's a slab or rubber with a canvas top - sometimes old school isn't better
Seems like people either love them or hate them.
I love the Converse All Star ❤👟
Classic!
Hey. Chuck 70s are much more comfortable iny opinion. Id never go back to the regular Chuck's.
I’ve heard that they’re better. I’m hoping to pick up a pair sometime this year.
@StrayReviews I prefer the original ones I still have them I may get other pairs when this one get all lossed
I prefer the reg all stars.
Great content sir
Thank you Stephen!
I don't see why they are so popular. They take forever to get on, due to the laces. And the toes are squashed together in a tight toebox.
I is strange. Some people find them super comfortable, while others don’t like wearing them at all. I think it’s a bit of a cultural phenomenon.
converse is just converse bro. It will be the greatest for ever
Truth 👍

Maybe the ones you saw at the store were the Chuck 70s? They have thicker soles.
@@StrayReviews maybe but it says high street. Still the same price as others. The red ones intrigue me.
@@wootage8434 Very nice! My son had a pair of red ones growing up and they looked great.
@@StrayReviews shoes are so expensive these days as all are rising it seems and Chuck taylors just stay at a set price which seems nice.

I'm sure part of the price is the popularity that comes with them.
@@StrayReviewsyee just like dr martens , they made a shoe about 100years a go , become cool i the 70 , by the 80/90 adopted by the outcast , punk ,skinhead, rockers , goths ,grunge , and by the 2000 become fashion overprice crap ,
