General Comments
First, I'm not going to rate chuck taylors as a skate shoe. They're not a skate shoe; they were originally made for basketball, and are now generally a casual, chill shoe, which is how I'll be reviewing them. I like the style of the shoes; simple and clean. Nothing fancy. I also like the canvas upper because you can clean it easy and keeps your feet cool. It's nice and comfortable, but they're isn't much arch support, which, after awhile, hurt my feet, but this may not bother others. Overall, I'd say chuck taylors are a good shoe at a good price, around $35 to $45. Just don't skate in them, please.
