Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars Shoe Review

What's there to say about a classic?

There has been no other shoe in history that has been more successful than Chuck Taylor All-Stars.
With over 750 million pairs sold worldwide, you have a dizzying array of sizes, colors, and styles.
Even though this is an old design, Chucks are incredibly comfortable even when compared to modern designs of shoes. It's one of the few styles where both men AND women look good wearing them. It's one of the few clothing items that look BETTER when worn and dirty.

In my travels through The States, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia I've found people from all sorts of backgrounds who love these shoes. My own pair have been a constant companion and have proven to be both durable and comforting.

If I had to name one thing that I didn't like about Chucks it would have to be the cost. For a 90+ year-old design made of rubber and canvas, Chucks are too expensive ($45+). Blame supply-and-demand and pop culture. No other clothing item will be as well represent in music, fashion, and film.
Yet, even with the steep price tag, I'll probably keep buying them because they're so darn comfy and feel like, well, home...

Way too expensive for what they are, not saying their bad though.

I 100% agree that chucks look way better when they're dirty and old. It just gives them life lol. I do yet don't agree on the price though. I think it's a bit pricey for a pair of shoes, but it's worth it. For example, my favorite pair of shoes are my chucks, and they've lasted me for about 4 or 5 years. Yeah, they have some tears and are dirty, but they still are just as amazing as when I got them. Oh, and you don't have to break them in like vans.
