The 70s are worth the extra $25, but not if you are planning on using them as lifting shoes. For squats/deadlifts I’d rather use my classics as you feel closer to the ground and not separated by the cushion.

Can you further give me an idea? I've been looking to use the 70's as my go to lifting shoe. Is there really a significant difference with the cushioning? Have you broken in both of them? Thanks.

@drewthompson7540

@@carlbarcelon3650 I don’t recommend this. The whole reason converse are recognized as good lifting shoes is because the originals have very little cushion and you feel firm with ground, similar to being barefoot, which is ideal for lifts. I’ve tried deadlifting in my 70s, which were okay, but I don’t have that solid firm grasp with the ground that I have with lifting shoes(my metcons), original converse or even shoeless. The 70s are really nice though and quite comfortable, just doesn’t beat the originals in the gym. Hope that helps.

BEST INFORMATIVE VIDEO ON THE TOPIC

I've always been an All Star guy, used to get a pair each year for about 5 years, after 9 months or so they'd start to split along the sides, the glue would go, and you could wash them 3-4 times then they'd be completely dead after that. 18 months ago I got a pair of 70's, same size, colour etc, and I'll never look back now. 18 months on and they still look and feel new, been washed probably 15 times and no splitting or issues at all, the comfort for me is just as comfy as the all stars, just SO much more rugged and long-lasting, whilst looking the same.

Bro I love Chuck Taylors ! I got a few , and also 2 of the 70 ‘s ! They are pretty cool ❤ i got the leather ones also and they are super cool ! Easy to clean 🧼 !! 🙃🙃

The stores around me(Upper East Side of Manhattan, NY) also don't sell the 70's anymore. Before 2020, I always went to JCPenny to buy converse 70's. Now that the majority of JCPenny stores closed down during the pandemic, it's been hard to find them. The Foot Locker and other shoe stores around me only have the all-stars, not a chuck, and tectuff converse available. I went to different stores around the city but can't find 70's. Nowadays I just buy the converse all-stars from stores since it is $20 to $30 bucks cheaper than the 70's and I don't want to wait for it to come in the mail.

Just got a pair of chuck 70s and I love them! They’re like a cross between chuck taylors and platforms which is perfect for me 😍 edit: I forgot to mention how cushiony and comfy they feel! As for the sizing, I recommend measuring your foot then going down half a size bc they’re unisex so they run a bit big. I’m usually a 7.5 so I got a 7 and the fit is perfect. I bought mine online so I recommend trying them on in-store if you can as some ppl have reported they’re true-to-size. But if you can’t try them on just go with your true size and align it with the sizing chart! 😊

One thing not pointed out in this video, and this is strictly aesthetic, is the branding on the heel. The current All Star is white with All Star in a larger font. The 70 brings back the original blue branding on the heel. A nice nostalgic touch for hose off us over 50.

Or the converse CTAS pro highs. If you switch out the laces it looks just like the 70 but better quality

Sole thickness?
