Chuck Taylor® All Star® Lugged Heel Platform Mary Jane

These shoes have a very long look, making my size 7 feet look like maybe a size 9! They were too narrow at the ball of the foot and I suspect that's part of the visual problem. But also, they are very heavyweight shoes and just taking them out of the box surprised me with the weight. I decided not to keep them for these two reasons together, but even if they had looked good while remaining heavy I would have sent them back. Heavy shoes (especially sneakers) are always difficult to deal with. Shame, because in the Egret color they were just what I was looking for, kind of a creamy version of DMs 8065 mary jane.

These run about a half size large (I’m typically a 9; the 8.5 was perfect). I was looking for a Doc Martin style but “broken in.” These Converse were comfy out of the box, great cushioning insole, plus a bit of height from the lug soles. I wish I could love them, but the rubber oval toe makes them look very “sassy orthopedic” to me.

Love this shoe! Fits perfect and comfortable right out of the box, no breaking in period!
