General Comments
Purchased my Converse Chuck Taylor All Star from Kohls on sale for $35, size 10.
Outer appereance is great, I chose the high top all black style. Good design, very simple, nothing that really stands out (which I like)
Inside, is a different story. There is virtually no padding on these shoes, so they rub on your feet mercilessly. Also, no padded sole, so don't expect a soft pillow-like feel when you walk. Also, because of the thin canvas-like material, these will not keep your feet safe from the elements. If it's cold/hot outside, your feet wil be either freezing/sweating as if you were just wearing socks with thick botoms.
Overall, I still really like my shoes. They hold up well, can take a beating, and still clean-up nice. Just wish they might include some thicker material/padding. Great price, decent shoes.
