What do you think? Footwear staple or overhyped sneaker?

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.

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!

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 ай бұрын

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.

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

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

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

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 ай бұрын

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

@jeffgrantMEDIA 3 ай бұрын

@@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.

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 3 ай бұрын

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

@Welther47 26 күн бұрын

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 26 күн бұрын

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.

@Dominicreviews 3 ай бұрын

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

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

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 ,,

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