About Chuck Taylor® All Stars:  The Classics:

Chuck Taylor® All Star shoes are the "classic" shoe of the Chuck Taylor line. (Also referred to as the All Star "Core".)

They are made of canvas uppers, special rubber soles, come in hi-top and lo-top and are available in many colors, including Black (Classic color), Black Monochrome, White, Optical White, Pink(!), Red, Kelly Green, Royal Blue, Navy Blue, Charcoal and Chocolate.  They are also available in various other colors on a seasonal basis, such as purple and orange.  Plus - there is an extensive variety of cool and funky prints!

Wow!

The Classics are the shoes in the entire All Star line that are still the most popular - even though there are so many new ones that have come out, including fun and funky prints, various styles of uppers and a special artists line too.  The bottom line is that the classic Chuck Taylors have stood the test of time, and may always be the standard icon for the American sneaker. 

They are the perfect basketball shoe - but they're more commonly used for just hangin' - the perfect casual sneaker.

About shopping resources:  There are many online resources for the Classic Chuck Taylor® shoes, the ones I recommend are Zappos.com (favorite - they have competetive prices, free shipping, free returns and great service), Amazon and eBay (likely the best price).

Important Sizing Information for Chuck Taylor® Shoes: 

Women - if you need to order your preferred shoe in a man's size, order 2 sizes smaller for any of the Converse Chuck Taylor® line.  If ordering a women's size - no worries, they should be true to size.

Men - Men's sizes in the Chuck Taylor line run slightly larger.  Order 1/2 size down from your usual (If you are a size 8, order a 7 1/2).
