My daughter and I loved designing the shoe and the finished product was beautiful. The lower score is in regards to the size suggestion. We ordered a 1/2 size smaller based on the site recommendation and now the shoes we received do not fit. We had been to the local converse store tying on shoes earlier that morning so we were certain of the correct size since she had tried on several pairs at the store. I would recommend ordering your size and not a 1/2 size down as they recomend, otherwise this is an absolutely wonderful product.

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.

I gave these a try, thinking they'd be like vintage All Stars high tops. Unfortunately, they seem less formed to the ankle, and less wide at the mid-foot, with a pointer toe. The off-white doesn't give authentically old, just yellowish, and the material feels more hard plastic than the newer rubbery texture. All in all, ended up immediately returning.
