      @Don’t Worry not really. for most sneakers the build is exactly the same foe all colorways, so he can just get the cheapest option and dissect that. the AJ1 is basically the only shoe that is inconsistent in the leather quality between the colorways, except for that it doesnt matter, so the sneakers most of the time will come cheaper than the leather boots he often cuts up.

    Always loved the look of Converse, hated them for everything else. I went to get a pair for the first time since early high school for a Wayne's World costume, but all they had in my size was the Chuck 70s. What a pleasant surprise! Bit more expensive but so much better than the Converse I remember. I can tell they'll last a lot longer too.

      The vulcanized rubber also doesn't compress very much, which is part of the reason why it's a really stable base to lift in. Take for instance, running shoes, where the rubber bounces back (purposely); that soft rubber makes for an unstable platform. With Chucks, you get that stable base along with a very short heel to toe drop. And like Chris said, people will take their shoes off to lift because it's just about the most stability you can get, aside from actual lifting shoes (which are expensive and some people see them as gimmicky).

  • @kcgunesq
    @kcgunesq 4 ปีที่แล้ว +699

    My guess is that when these were first introduced, they were probably the most comfortable shoes most kids had ever had. Compared to leather soled shoes or other athletic shoes of the days made of very stiff leather, these would have felt soft and flexible on day one. Also, people weighed a lot less, so extra cushioning wasn't really a thing, especially compared to leather soled shoes.

    • @Dolritto
      @Dolritto 2 ปีที่แล้ว +63

      Not sure about your info. Converse didn't invent anything new, as the canvas shoes with rubber soles were introduced by various brands, for example Keds had them as early as 1916, and design with rubber protector for toes and hightops were already implemented for basketball shoes for years. They only had a luck with great marketing connected to known sportsman, so the name become respected in the market. Also in the '70 as leather was for a long time not a must, leather soles started to become a somewhat premium part, nobody would pay extra for leather-soled shoes to wear them down prematurelly during sports, when rubber was grippier and more wear resistant. They already started to belong to dress shoes and premium boots.

    5:40 - Exactly. They may not be flat when new but after a few deadlifts and squat sessions they become flat but supportive and they can also be synched down very well so your foot never feels like it moves inside the shoe at all. Probably my favourite gym shoe. Avoid the 70's if you lift but get the 70's if you want a daily.

    • @tool8337
      @tool8337 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      This is a misconception. First, this garbage has no support for your arch, heel, or toe. Yes, they are flat in the sense that the arch and toe aren't rounded like running shoes. But you need a wedged heel & arch support for proper lifting. Compare these to purpose-built lifting shoes and you'll see immediately see the problem. You'll end up with knee and hip pain if you lift in these.

      The shoe choice doesn’t compensate for bad form. If you can’t lift safely in these, you can’t lift safely in anything.

      Funnily enough I was about to comment that they do 2 types of Chuck. One based on the original design from the 50's (I think) and the redesign from the 70's (between 74 to 78 I think). Also, depending on how you find them uncomfortable I find going up half a size helps. I find 9's too narrow but a 9.5 is perfect. They're also great for driving enthusiasts who like to heel and toe their manual cars.

      I live in Chucks and would not say that they are uncomfortable, but that they do not prevent fatigue. In another regard (for general use at least) they hardly feel like one is wearing a shoe so are very comfortable that way.
      There are other variations besides the classic and the 70's. I've a few chuck taylor "boots" that have more cushion in the footbeds, some chucks with removable insoles, etc.

    I only wear chucks with Dr. Scholls arch support inserts. They basically transform the most uncomfortable shoe to being one of the best looking and most comfortable shoes out there. I usually get about 4 years on a pair of chucks. The area where the lower starts to detach by the toes I glue with loctite brand crazy glue. That will usually hold for another year before the shoe is ready for the trash. I also prefer the Chuck II because they go on more like a sneaker instead of having to play around with the shoe laces everytime.

    Nice video. I have a love/hate with the "classic" Cons nowdays. Just ain't the same since Nike buyout. The foot bed never had much to begin with but I swear the few pairs I've owned since production with Nike they're just not the same. Not even tolerable after an hour if that. Which wasn't the case ever in my Converse shoes I wore in early 2000s that were still made overseas but before Nike came into the picture. Anyways... I'd put up with the uncomfortable soles (just put in custom orthotics and boom problem solved), but what really grinds my bones is the damn felt at the bottom soles now. That is also something never on a Converse shoe before Nike... I do own a few pairs of Chuck 70s.. and while they are nice, and don't have crappy felt on the soles (and the soles are a one piece mold just like the classics used to be) they are a bit bulky and heavier. Classic Chucks are lighter and wrap and mold to your foot and you feel like you’re sometimes not wearing shoes, but were supportive enough to get you through the whole day which is what made them so great and so iconic. Now the quality has dropped a ton and the more expensive superior Chuck 70s solve the comfort issue, but at the price of its behemoth looks and mass weighing you down.

    Interesting to see what's changed for Converse over the years. As someone who wore them for years and even went through the painstaking process of removing the insoles of a few pairs, I can honestly say some things have been omitted:
    1) a very thin rubber piece that took up space in the forefoot and toebox under the insole
    2) a narrow rubber piece that was part of the heel padding under the insole
    The felt lining under the insole must be new.

Converse should have a little drop like that, the nikes are almost barefoot feel and that’s y inlove em, chucks are not barefoot feel at all, they are stiff and unflexible and put a ton of strain behind your knee which got me injured walking . Chucks are good for low and slow walkers . They look awesome but have a terrible functionality. Maybe I’ll take mine to someone to add a drop, I love how they look but puttin them on for the first time in years they felt so goofy and terrible.

    chucks were pretty uncomfortable when i started wearing them in middle school but after that 1st year, it was really comfortable. the sad thing was it was the only pair of shoes i had so i had to buy new ones every year. and every year, the price increased =/

    67 years old Adidas for years but just got 2 pair of Chuck 70's black suede and a mustard suede, discounted at a Converse outlet in NJ. BOTH FOR $55.00 vs. $200. retail! Win and very comfortable like back in the day. Adidas and Chuck 70's, a good combination to have

    Can you go into the different qualities of canvases? Such as "genuine canvas" versus horween cromexcel canvas versus shell cordovan canvas? Thx!

      Bro, it’s all about the top grain canvas. Some people say, “full grain or death,” but even the top grain is quality. Watch out for the poly-textile blends though!

    I used to think these were uncomfortable also, not as much anymore. Turns out you just need to actually buy the right size. When they released a wide version of them, I bought a pair and they're amazingly more comfortable. I have knee issues and the softer, albeit nonexistent arch support is a lot better on the knees.

    Weight lifters like them because the sole has less give than a softer sole. They use them for dead-lifting and squatting because your feet are more stable on the floor when you have alot of weight bearing down.

    I was waiting for another vid like this after the vans sk8 hi video, I love these types of videos where you cut open cool original and iconic shoes that are popular in my school. So, I think you should make vids on more classic or iconic sloes like the vans you did and these also but thank you and I have now been subbed since that vans video. I genuinely enjoy your attitude words TH-cam as a whole a will continue to be a fan forever.

    I have bought Chucks for years. My main complaint is how they run so crazy long - they end up looking like clown shoes. I normally wear Men's 13 and fall back to 12 with Chucks. Still can look a bit funny with time. I have been buying PF Flyers instead for a little more cushion and normal sizing.

    • @TheNinjaSasquatch5
      @TheNinjaSasquatch5 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My prob is I'm a wide 12.5 so I have to get 13's since they started to run narrower in the toes a few years back. Only bought one pair since they did that

    as a weightlifter you want lifting shoes that don’t have any cushioning as you sink into them mid-squat.

    I stuck some insoles from my mountain bike shoes inside my hi-tops and made them instantly more comfortable - huge increase in comfort. I did have to do some surgery to reduce the arch support in the glued in insole, so I wouldn't have 'double' arch support, but it's quite easy to just nip the top of the arch support off with kitchen shears or scissors

    I use to wear Van's for YEARS. With Chuck's peppered in. And the older Chucks I find, the insole was extremely stiff and uncomfortable. But nowadays, idk what happened but Chucks now, (and I'm talking about the core classic) are way more comfy than Van's. Van's are a little wider which is the good thing. But man, the insoles of the classic Chucks now are alot squishier and just feel alot better than classic Van's.
    Hopefully Nike keeps this going with Chucks. Dont take anything else away. Just keep it here, and keep it at $50 please lol. I really can't imagine canvas sneakers going for anymore than that.

    I just bought 2 pairs of new Connies, & they always seem to run bigger than my actual shoe size, so it's always a guessing game on how to order: 1/2 or full size smaller. As far as the flat feel, just order some quality insoles, like Sorbothanes, & pop them in. Instant Heaven.They're too iconic to pass up. I love my Connies. ❤
