Good shoe, especially for All Star, it has an amazing sole. It seems to be more durable than regular All Stars. Time will tell! The price is a bit steep as always.

I have had them for about 2 months, using them 3-4 times a week. They are the first Chuck Taylor II shoes I have bought. I have previously bought the regular Chuck Taylor shoes as well. The Lunar athletic insole that they have is really worth it. The only thing that always bothered me with Converse shoes was that they would tire my feet and waist (I have a problem there) after standing for a long time. However, with the insole that these shoes have, I can say that even on days with a lot of running around, they remain comfortable and restful. As for the appearance, they are slightly different from the previous ones (nothing special) and they have the classic good quality materials from Converse.

I did not rate the durability because it is still early. (They also came with an extra white lace in the box :-) )
