Converse All Star VS Chuck 70 (CUT IN HALF) 

Regular Chucks are more comfortable than the 70's.

AmyX I don’t...

Noah Goldman scarcasm

Kewlkid jeff oh damn thanks for explaining that I had no idea

Kewlkid jeff oh btw... that was that thing you just taught me about, did I do a good job using it?

Aka jordan retro

Good point.

Will do

He's the reason I splurged on a pair of Birkenstock Arizonas.

a agree. but i do find he has a slight bias for one product or another,

@@MikeSmith-ch7jv FACTS

Do you still have the 70s, if so how is the condition

What signalled the end of my many pairs Converse over the years was when I’d worn a big hole right the way through the entire shoe, such that water came flooding in whenever I walked on any wet surface. So I think I’m a good candidate for the Chuck 70s.

Hey man i was just curious how long your 70s lasted since I'm planning to buy my first pair in a little while

the shoes fit relatively narrow, the new ones are weaker for everybody but if you have a wide foot the old ones can hold up while the new ones dont have much chance

​@HalSamuel shoe goo is the cure for that my friend

Damon Walden Nike bought converse back in 03 dude really?

Their quality has always been good...

I buy a ton of Nike shoes, but their QC is horrible. Glue marks everywhere, poor and inconsistent stitching, low quality materials, and slave labor are some of my biggest gripes with them.

Converse cheapened out in 2004 when it closed its last American factories an started making them overseas. Nike bought Converse three years later and the quality continued going south from there.

@Taylor Lemoine Think their hate is more to do with their abhorrent working conditions in Asia (Employees literally killing themselves in their Foxconn factories) and terrible QC record. Not that their major competitors are much better.

Definitely. First time i saw someone wearing the 70s in black i was like "Wow, why do they look so much better than mine?!" I need to get some 70s. My regular ones are starting to come apart. Love the new Runstar Hike ones too.

I can tell because the side wall looks extra thick on the 70s and 'normal' on the regulars as in it doesnt strike me as thick

The rubber padding on the bottom is generally a more off white or paper white on the 70 compared to the all stars

Anyone who knows there exists a chuck 70 and a originals can tell the diference, they are completely diferent, from the converse patch, to the midsole and the laces, even most colours are diferente

Strange as it is the license plate and the mid sole really sold me on these as far as styling goes. The classic ctas just end up looking juvenile and I hate when they use the CONS branding. That's a deal breaker for me. 70s though, I love them. I've been on a buying binge all 2020. You can find them on sale for around $40-$60 and they are worth it.

1 year is better than 6 months with schechers ile be replacing every 6 months because the quality of shit lol you pay what you get if you pay near £100 you will get 3 years out of it but even if something is comfortable it will only last a few months but if your always on your feet and need something to help during 6 months of 24/7 standing

You should always go to the Drug Store, and put in a Se Schools inser… costs like $20 bucks tops, and ALWAYS helps

What I wonder is if the stitching goes through the rubber band, like on the back. Because for me, they always fail at the toe crease when the rubber separates from the fabric.

Or it was made for skateboarding to have more durability like as a Ollie guard

@@esquimo9986 the stitching was there long before Ollie's or even grip tape were things

converse in the uk are slightly different...

@@TherconJair I just saw on mine, stitching does go down to the outsole

It even has a watermark

@@unsavedinfovol.1178 Very nice. Lets see Paul Allen’s shoes

@@unsavedinfovol.1178 Something wrong, Patrick? Your feet are sweating.

did u changed the size? im currently checking ones out and it says that i need to get a lower size of what i actually am

@@bobby3687 they run really big i had to go don’t 1 or 1.5 sizes

Obviously

Yeah

Dr woo, neighborhood, lay zhang and many more

i mean they look much better

Carhartt x converse

I feel like the more structured build makes them look better with jeans as opposed to looking like flip flops like the originals . I’ve worn converse basically all my life whenever I’m not wearing doc martens. And even a true lover like me admits the newer ones are better

They're a little bit more comfortable, but they look dumber. That "player name" interior tag is awful.

@@HashtagLindahow do they look dumber?

@@HashtagLinda You can't see that when your wearing them... also its a fun little thing It's a 70's shoe, it's gotta have some goofy 70's shit to go along with it bro

@@HashtagLindaaren’t you a fun hag.

Agreed. It's like a pice of rubber and a pillow case sewn together haha. I love Chuck's, but they're expensive foror what they are.

I used to buy them for like $10 back in the late 1980s from their factory store in Mass.

The regular ones are like $80-120 in Australia.

@@franceess more like 130 and some are 140 and 150

@@franceess it was 80 back in 2004 dude it's 2020

John Bailey, Hey man. Don’t worry we’ll get through this.

same. and damn ur comment was real

@donkey ass reviews and do's sitting here with some Fear of Gods, n i feel like priorities Fd up!!! Lol

@donkey ass reviews and do's ayyyyyyye! U sip on and stay safe!!!!!!

@@MoeFokah i'm planning on buying the cdg ones because they restocked

Elle 0704 do it!

Definitely bro, just a heads-up the 70s run bigger than regular converse (fucking insane actually). Go half a size down for sure.

Karl mendoza yeah wear a 10 had to get my 70’s in a 9.5 and they are the perfect fit and comfortable

ever thought about pf flyers?

Slim PK I have the sandlot one all black joints 🔥🔥 I know the wave lol

floreson 16 what’re the differences you’ve found in the 2s?

Trent Rush Chuck 2 has the Nike Lunarlon inserts. I have a pair in black camo I’ve had for a few years now and they’re still very comfortable.

I went with the chuck 2s.

@@Runstrong_Chris how does it compare to the 70s in terms of comfort

Don’t laugh (or do) but I work on my feet all day too (for years now) and NOTHING comes close to the comfort of Crocs.

@Jaqen H'ghar no the skate shoes are very different

@Azazel the skate shoe ones are the chuck taylor pros, they look like the new ones but with softer insoles and black laces. They are rare to find tho.

I got the custom 70s california Black and white Really dope shoe

i have 4 70's and 2 all star, me too always go with 70s lol🤣

@@bakerdeathwish88 I always wondered what the difference is with the CTAS pro. There's basically no comparison reviews online.

I bought my first pair of 70's 2 years ago. They kind of make me want to give all my other ones away lol

Do you find that sizing I’d about the same?

I've been buying chucks for 15 years I get about 5 to 6 pairs a year and I've never seen felt soles

PrimusPilusVorenus sizing is the same

Yea your right I had to travel 2 hrs into the suburbs to find a pair. It was worth it tho.

They were nice laces 🤷‍♂️

I was surprised he didn't just had into them hahaha

Rose Anvil lol I knew it

@@RoseAnvil 😂

He learned

Pretty sure it's just a scalpel blade

You can get it at most craft stores. Walmart sells them for like $8.

Shits made outta diamonds

Hashass1n the handle and blade curve suggests it’s a bit more than just a scalpel

he bought it from Weaver

Interesting! Thanks for sharing :)

*doesn’t remember what was said about felt in the video* *panics*

Ok I found it. Whew.

So does that actually make them slippers?

@@clairiam3227 ig legally, yea

How much more if he cuts luxury shoes😅

It’s $85 bucks bruh...

Sacrifices must be made in the name of science unfortunately

Rather offensive

My heart hurt the whole time!

Inside the insole ?

@@swegmaster6246 the outsole, 4:30

M Lenz yeah, because how the sole is molded, they can be imported to other countries as sandals, saves a whole lot on taxes

They don't come with the fabric on UK variants. But on the first set I ever bought when I was on holiday in Florida they had the fabric on the outer sole. So import fees to where?

@@sataneatcheese6243 to the US

you should try New Balance

Yeah dude, don't wear converse if you're standing on a concrete floor all day.. that's just stupid.

Converse on concrete all day ? Think bro get some new balance comfort over style in that situation

@@dansmith6990 honestly the chuck 70s are a pretty good shoe for all day wear. They have two nice layers of foam which stay comfy and they’re fairly neutral so the cushion won’t make your feet tired

I love my converse shoes but I would never EVER wear them all day on concrete floors. They're comfy and look good for running erands or walking around town but standing especially on such a hard surface will kill your heels

I don't know if they still make em but nike makes a pair of chucks with zoom in em

@@mclainpoole3729 those were discontinued, major flop.

Honestly I would never buy this shoe for a job like this, it's too flat and too unstructured. Rather save your foot a lot of pain and get some addidas ultraboosts that have adequate padding for your foot (like walking on pillows).I mean any other shoe with proper padding would do

Work on any concrete I'd throw in extra Ortho inserts.

@@rxonmymind8362 why not just get.... better shoes???

Do the chuck 70s have a thicker platform then the regular ones??

@@valerielopez5640 Yes they do

Good to hear that someone else has the same problem with the soles popping out, and toes being exposed every time. I’ll have to give the 70s a try.

yes, i think so too

It's also approximately the ollie spot and converse are used for skateboarding

If im skating i wear Lakai. Im not Avril Lavigne mate

@@michaeledowling1039 converse are not skate shoes.

Terrible.

I'm waiting for him to explain why he (or someone else) shaves the cat. The cat seems happy, but I find it strange and I'm curious about the reason for it. Maybe it's to keep the shedding down inside their business...

David St James I believe his cats a Devon rex, they naturally have very short hair (almost none) hence why it looks bald :)

Toast is the best highlight to the videos!!!

You should get a pair

WHERE IS THE GOOD BOI

I too would love a video about shoelaces (and eyelets and aglets). Partially because I am curious about too damn many things, and partially because I have been tempted to DIY some shoelaces lately so I'd love to know what the gold standards are.

@@Call-me-Al Phineas and Ferb can tell you about aglets

Yes!!!

What are you? A vegan and/or gay?

And no one has been able to make a high quality vegan leather that will not fall apart too quickly. I wear a large-sized shoe and I always have to buy longer shoelaces since th laces that come with shoe are too short.

It makes the shoe so slippery! Good news is they are easily scraped off. Which is what i always did when buying a new pair.

Amen to that! So ridiculous. I am 100% sure it’s a North America thing, only us and Canada (possibly Mexico) get the felt glued and infused into the bottom of the Classic soles. A Damn shame. That does add a potential dangerous element to people wanting to wear their favorite shoes on certain surfaces. I noticed any ‘classic’ pair of Chucks on their site that sell new for $60+ for hi tops and $55 for low tops... do Not have the stupid ugly felt. If you look at the leather hi tops and low tops on the Converse site (leather hi tops are $60, leather low tops are $55) they do not have the felt. Any other special/seasonal release/collaboration will not have the felt. Just the core classics. So yes for a measley $5 they won’t add the felt, which is like really? Just remove the damn felt on all the classics! We deserve it. I found a way to get around this though, but for a cost. Any custom order of classic chucks will not have the felt put on it either. So you could go to the custom shoe maker on the converse site, and just make a regular core classic shoe (a black and white hi top designed and copied verbatim to how you’d get it online and in store for example) and order it, they will ship it to you with no felt. The problem with that is... custom classic chucks will cost you $80 for Hi tops and $75 for low tops regardless of your design. You can do what the other guy said and just scrape it off, but it all won’t come off that easily, I’ve tried, and in the end your shoe now more worn out in the bottom without even getting to wear it yet.

Honestly, I've had better luck with $15 knock offs than the originals in terms of comfort and grip. That being said, the overall quality obviously suffers, I just don't wear that kind of shoe often enough to warrant buying the expensive ones.

They also don’t have felt in the UK

The felt was added as a way to avoid taxes on shoe imports. If there’s felt on the bottom it’s considered a slipper in the USA

Chuck 70s are great xx

The 70’s have a very ugly toe cap and glossy look I don’t like at all. I’d rather wear the classics because they have a bigger toe cap and a matte look.

or don't wear shoes at all. when its hot I hate shoes. but if I need them I go for these cause its like being bare foot still. thats pretty sad

70s are pretty comfortable. Ive worn ultraboost, zoom bomero.

I agree

that's a dumb statement

Facts 😂 I have a pair of the Chuck 70’s, and a pair of YZY 350 v2’s and people who haven’t been blessed with boost or and other good cushioning don’t know true comfort....

That’s called a bunion. If it’s causing you a lot of pain you should visit your local podiatrist office.

hello, which of this pair is best for wide feet?

@@gibsonhed they have an option for wide feet😉

They had chuck Taylor II’s with Nike type soles a few years ago but apparently converse fanatics didn’t buy them even they practically looked exactly the same . I would have got em but just found out about them lol they got discontinued real quick

Do then bend more easily when you walk

@@heythere6983 In my experience, the 70s doesn't bend easily because the sole are much more rigid than the original ones.
