I found these shoes during a search for Women's shoes. I ordered a size 12, assuming it was a women's shoe. Conveniently, I purchased Converse low top sneakers at the same time...also size 12. After unboxing, I just put them in the closet. When I wore this pair for the first time, I noticed they were unusually large. I then compared the 2 pairs and noticed these were larger. I finally inspected the tag inside the shoe and noticed that it was a Women's size 14...Men's size 12. These are obviously going back, but I love the shoe & color so I've purchased another pair, 2 sizes down.

I used to rock Converse High Tops back in the 70's when all there was were two colors and only made for men and boys. I love the variety and choices available today. These are old school heavy canvas and laces in a sunny yellow. Got compliments the first day I wore them. If you wear a half size it was advised to size down. I did and the fit is perfect.

As far as converse go, I've had many other pairs before and I know I wear a Women's 8 (I'm usually an 8.5 or 9 in most other shoes), and this shoe fits how I had anticipated. I love the comfy sole of this shoe! One thing about this style is that it doesn't have the loop on the tongue of the shoe to keep the shoelaces in place, but I haven't decided if that's a big deal because the loop isn't always helpful anyways. Love the color I got. It looks different in different lightings, but I think that makes it versatile. I was a bit hesitant about trying the Chuck 70 model, but I would recommend it over the classic Chuck Taylor's if not for the cushioned sole alone.
