Summary: I can't believe they used to play Basketball in these.
Comment: I've never been a big "shoe guy", but I love the old school Chuck Taylors. It's always been my favorite shoe and I always wear the black on black or the white on black Chucks. They aren't exactly the most comfortable shoes and definitely take some getting used to, but once I got used to wearing them I've been a loyal Chuck Taylor buyer ever since. They're pretty much the only casual shoe that I wear when going out because they're simple and not to sound cliche but they represent a lot of things to me. Usually when I see someone wearing Chucks I can tell that they have a laid back personality and like simplicity... or they listen to Punk Rock. When i wear jeans I've never liked high top shoes and especially the skater style shoes that are really bulky, so Chucks have always been perfect for me.
The only problems with these shoes are:
They aren't very comfortable at first and are definitely not good shoes if you're going to be walking a lot. There isn't a lot of cushion.
If you DO walk a lot (if you wear these shoes to work, for example) the bottoms of the shoes tend to wear out very quickly.
Once they get dirty, they usually stay dirty due to the material. You can clean these shoes but only to a certain extent.
Other than that, Chuck Taylors are awesome and I would definitely recommend these shoes to anyone who likes simple footwear. I would also recommend that you wear these mainly for casual use and not as a primary shoe (unless you don't mind buying a new pair every couple of months, which I personally don't). Besides... for lack of a better term, they're just cool!

Summary: Great pair of kicks for everyday use!
Comment: Talk about an old reliable. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
Converse ALL Stars are tough and have put up to the test of time.
May not be the most comfortable pairs of sneakers I own. But they are great for everyday use.
Highly recommend them.
