When I was about 26-27, all I wore was the white highs and black highs (just All Stars though, not Chucks, I didnt know they existed/the differences back then). I then got mad into sneakers and wore all sorts of different pairs for like 10 years. Now, I'm coming back round to Converse again! (Chuck 70s this time though). You just can't beat them. I've actually gone for the Plus model, love the white stitching on the back of the black highs.
Everybody says half a size down but I wear 9 in vans and I had to go with a size 8 in these! I ordered a 8.5 first and it felt like I was wearing clown shoes, there was so much room in the toes, I was even debating buying a 7.5
Yeaah converse sneakers fit can be tricky sometimes, if you’re still unsure about the 8, you could try the 7.5 for a snugger fit. Keep in mind, the Chuck 70s do have a bit of room in the toe box, so it really comes down to whether you want more space or a tighter feel. If the 8 feels alright, it might be the better choice to avoid any discomfort with a 7.5! 👟👌
I once bought some Converse leather sneakers, really beautiful but unusual (compared to the classic Converse model) black sneakers with red accents like the logo which also wasn't the classic logo and so they were very comfortable, I basically loved them and used to wear them a lot. So one day I went to the beach and hid them under some rocks so I could take a swim, some of my friends were near so I thought they'd be safe. After coming back from the super nice, super refreshing swim in the ocean I went to pick my shoes up but... They were gone, lol. :( I thought some of my friends liked them so much they had to borrow them for a while. No one else was there mind you and this was almost 15 some years ago. It's okay though I forgave whoever took them. The thing is though, I never wore Converse again after that and not because any particular reason, one or the other, just never got to wearing them again until now that is. Can't wait to wear them again lol, although ones I ordered are the 70's black and white.
Yes, I came here to looking for help with the right size and I have just purchased a pair of low tops. I normally were a size 10.5 in Nikes (Blazers for example). I also have wider feet. I ended up trying out a size 10 first, which fit, but was just a half size too big for me and just looked long. So I tried a 9.5 and the fit was good. Just a little bit on the narrow size, but I have wide feet. Overall the 9.5 is much better look and fit. On the comfort scale, compared to the All-Star, it is a notable improvement to where I can actually wear a pair of chucks and not regret it. The 70s are the way to go and the way chucks should be made period.
NOWHERE within even a 100 mile radius has these for me to try on. Even went to a Converse outlet. So frustrating considering all the differing opinions on sizing.
So when you say size down , a full size or half size ?? (I do wear the regular chucks past 5-6 years always only half size down ) if anyone can help much appreciated 😄
All steps are similar. A bit like with piano-keys. The distance between black and white key seems different, but it is the same as white-white. Some translate to a full size step 42-43, others to a half step 43-43,5. But it is all like 6mm increase or so.
The 70s looks bad. The need for Retr-o-bright, the gloss, the weird nose, the clunkiness. Best ones are the BTO ones in a different colour, or the BTO platform ones, which I BTO to have white stitching instead of black. The 10€ premium is worth it, as the construction is much better.

I've got more of a classic heritage style and these seem like the perfect sneakers for when its way to hot to wear boots.

Maybe I can help! What’s your shoe size in the shoes you're currently wearing? We can figure it out together 👟🙂
So when you say size down , a full size or half size ??
(I do wear the regular chucks past 5-6 years always only half size down ) if anyone can help much appreciated 😄
half
@ thanks ! :D & also I’ve heard it runs narrow on the toe box compared to regular chucks or not really ??

Black hi tops on the way. Let’s see how this goes. This will be my first pair of chucks ever
Bro, you've gotta do a Puma Suede video. They're a classic!
ill definitely pick up a pair if I see them!
Fit wise is it like the adidas superstars, where its not that narrow?
yes, its a very roomy sneaker, i went half size down for a goof fit
what shoe size did you get with these ?
Im size 36 + 37
Do you recommend hi tops or lows?
Both
Should I go true to size as I've got a wide foot?
im wide footed and i went half size down from my true size, and they fit perfect. Go half size down

I swear these shoes go in and out of style 😂
i kno fam... i kno
Trends come and go, but a timeless classic never goes out of style!
