 greatest shoe ever made by man, Mar 13, 2023
beautiful, durable, timeless. that's the converse chuck taylor. i love these shoes so much! i've always had a pair since i was a kid. they've never gone out of style. they're actually getting hot again now due to new marketing efforts (like their product placement in "i-robot"). what else? um, buy a pair! appreciate them first hand =)

OH... MY... GOODNESS..., Mar 8, 2023
i'm a naturally flat-footed person... i don't have that splendid arch that most people do... either that it's hidden under the folds of skin... never went to go find it. ANYWAYS, these shoes are so perfect for my flat-footedness, and, because i'm also unfortunately WIDE-footed, it's hard for me to find good shoes out there. the M7/F9 is a perfect fit, length-wise AND width-wise. i used to have back-pains b/c i'd walk around all day at work with shoes that didn't fit. now, that is in the past! THANK YOU CONVERSE! YOU GUYS ROCK!

 Nothing says "gimmie indie rock" like these, Jan 9, 2023
This is standard issue footwear for anyone who wants the "look" of indie rock (the others are t-shirts that look to be from a redneck bar circa 1978 but really came from a suburban Old Navy circa 2005 and those "washed-out" blue jeans that were purchased at the same Old Navy). The shoes are grossly unfit for any athletic activity (I don't know how the heck I survived playing street hockey in these things as a teenager), provide no protection against the cold or stepping on sharp objects, begin to smell horribly after 9+ months of use and have a tendency to have the sole tear away from the rest of the shoe after those 9 months (if the smell hasn't destroyed them yet). But their coolness factor will never, ever be replicated by any footwear, past, present or future (the Roman sandal gave them a run for their money in the 1980s by the garage punk band Thee Mighty Caesars, but that's another story). Everyone should own a pair of these shoes at least once in their lifetimes.

Helps me outrun the infuriated monkeys, Oct 20, 2023
Needless to say, I have angered the monkeys. Let me tell you, it doesn't take much. But when I realized the Monkey Mob was after me, I hastily went out and picked up a pair of Men's Converse All Star's. I could hear the dismayed hoots and hollers of the monkeys echoing through the land. I smiled. My shoes smiled back. Finally, we'd one-upped the monkeys.
It didn't take long, only 10 minutes later I heard a frenzy of hoots and bangs at my front door. It was them. I tightened my laces and sped out my back door as the monkeys took chase. The monkeys were wearing the inferior AND-1 brand shoes, and my Converse All Star's mocked and scorned the monkeys and my shoes stuck out their "tongues" and made rude sounds. At this point I was concerned the monkeys may throw dung at me, but we were pulling away. Just when I thought we had outrun them, I realized my speed was picking up and my feet were lifting off the ground. I turned around to see befuddled monkeys scratching their heads and shaking their fists, as they soon became small as ants below me. We came to rest on a nice little cloud. There was a vending machine, good thing. I chose a Pepsi, and guzzled it. Just then, a sound came from behind me. I whipped around, and who else would it be but The Monkey Emperor. He wasted little time, and slapped my face briskly with a large tuna. In my dazed state, the Emperor removed my prized Converse All Star's and nudged me gently off the cloud. As I fell, I came to full consciousness, and promptly landed in Bill Gates' swimming pool. He was in there with another man, and I apologized for the disturbance. I walked home, confused. On the way, I was again surrounded by the monkeys. But this time they offered a peace offering. The lead monkey knelt down and bestowed me with a half-eaten banana. He explained he had broken down and eaten half of it in a moment of weakness before they found me. I was touched. I took the banana into my hands and squished it in the lead monkey's face. I let out a holler and ran off, with visions of my Converse All Star's racing through my head. Some day...we will meet again.

 This shoe sucks the big one..., Sep 10, 2023
Anyone who wears these are going for this overdone retro look and trying to be trendy way past the expiration date. These shoes are paper thin so you can enjoy the flat slap of the pavement and every pebble along the way. Want chronic knee problems and fallen arches? These are the cheapo way to go. Also why read a review about these anyway? Everyone has already had a pair of these when they were kids and haven't worn them in years. See my description above as a reminder as to why you haven't worn them since.
