What do you think? Footwear staple or overhyped sneaker?

@jeffgrantMEDIA 3 месяца назад

Footwear staple.

I love the Converse All Star ❤👟

Classic!

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.

Ah, that explains it. Thanks for that!

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.

@StrayReviews 3 месяца назад

Wow, that must have been massively disappointing. Chucks are just the coolest!

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!

@StrayReviews Месяц назад

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.

@kitcraft9516 3 месяца назад

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.

@StrayReviews 3 месяца назад

I didn't know that. That's excellent!!

@markanstrom2981 3 месяца назад

I've got A width feet. I still wear two pairs of socks with Chucks.

@Welther47 10 дней назад

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.

@StrayReviews 10 дней назад

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.

@dominikk4163 2 месяца назад

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

@StrayReviews 2 месяца назад

Ah, thankfully I haven't worn through mine yet.

@jeffgrantMEDIA 3 месяца назад

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 3 месяца назад

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

@jeffgrantMEDIA 3 месяца назад

@@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.

@StrayReviews 3 месяца назад

@@jeffgrantMEDIA Stii, pretty cheap per wear cost for me, when I consider how often I'll wear them.

@wootage8434 2 месяца назад

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.

@StrayReviews 2 месяца назад

Maybe the ones you saw at the store were the Chuck 70s? They have thicker soles.

@wootage8434 2 месяца назад

@@StrayReviews maybe but it says high street. Still the same price as others. The red ones intrigue me.

@@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.

@Dominicreviews 3 месяца назад

Hey. Chuck 70s are much more comfortable iny opinion. Id never go back to the regular Chuck's.

@StrayReviews 3 месяца назад

I’ve heard that they’re better. I’m hoping to pick up a pair sometime this year.

@darkphotographer 3 месяца назад

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 ,,

@StrayReviews 3 месяца назад

I'm sure part of the price is the popularity that comes with them.
