I bought my Chucks in March 2023. Nine months later, in December, the inside canvas has worn down to expose the plastic bits in the heel of both shoes. I work from home and spend my entire day in house shoes. When I go for walks, I wear different walking shoes. These shoes have had subjectively little streetwear and as evidence, the soles are still in near-perfect condition. The construction inside the shoe is apparently absolute garbage now.
Now here's the part that makes me really mad. I buy really good socks, and I take incredible care of them so they last forever. The plastic that is now exposed inside both shoes has damaged nine pairs of socks because I didn't notice they were rubbing until after a few weeks. The socks are completely shredded where the plastic rubs against the sock. The fact that I don't have blisters and didn't notice the plastic rubbing is a testament to the quality of socks I wear… Converse, you owe me $120 worth of socks.
This shoe is a staple. Definitely a must have for your closet. Converse sizing runs big (in my opinion). Normally I'm an 8.5 in Women, 9 in Women for running shoes, but I had to buy a size 8 in these shoes. It is very comfy and I will buy another color for variety.
