I’ve never found them to be uncomfortable, I actually like them more than most shoes because they tend to feel more natural on my feet. I think the problem for most people is that they have conditioned their feet to need arch support when naturally arch support is not a normal thing for the human foot. When I get shoes, I’m just looking for foot protection not support.

They may not be flat when new but after a few deadlifts and squat sessions they become flat but supportive and they can also be synched down very well so your foot never feels like it moves inside the shoe at all.

This is a misconception. First, this garbage has no support for your arch, heel, or toe. Yes, they are flat in the sense that the arch and toe aren't rounded like running shoes. But you need a wedged heel & arch support for proper lifting. Compare these to purpose-built lifting shoes and you'll see immediately see the problem. You'll end up with knee and hip pain if you lift in these.

@@tool8337 been lifting with these for 9 years and my knees and hips are totally fine. Left Shoulder? Whole nother story but I cannae blame my shoe for that. The shoe choice doesn’t compensate for bad form. If you can’t lift safely in these, you can’t lift safely in anything.

It's less about the inside of the shoe and more about the bottom. When you're weight lifting, the sole is fully flat on the ground, which is why Converse are good for it.

The vulcanized rubber also doesn't compress very much, which is part of the reason why it's a really stable base to lift in. Take for instance, running shoes, where the rubber bounces back (purposely); that soft rubber makes for an unstable platform. With Chucks, you get that stable base along with a very short heel to toe drop. And like Chris said, people will take their shoes off to lift because it's just about the most stability you can get, aside from actual lifting shoes (which are expensive and some people see them as gimmicky).

My guess is that when these were first introduced, they were probably the most comfortable shoes most kids had ever had. Compared to leather soled shoes or other athletic shoes of the days made of very stiff leather, these would have felt soft and flexible on day one. Also, people weighed a lot less, so extra cushioning wasn't really a thing, especially compared to leather soled shoes.

@Dolritto

Not sure about your info. Converse didn't invent anything new, as the canvas shoes with rubber soles were introduced by various brands, for example Keds had them as early as 1916, and design with rubber protector for toes and hightops were already implemented for basketball shoes for years. They only had a luck with great marketing connected to known sportsman, so the name become respected in the market. Also in the '70 as leather was for a long time not a must, leather soles started to become a somewhat premium part, nobody would pay extra for leather-soled shoes to wear them down prematurelly during sports, when rubber was grippier and more wear resistant. They already started to belong to dress shoes and premium boots.

Also, depending on how you find them uncomfortable I find going up half a size helps. I find 9's too narrow but a 9.5 is perfect. They're also great for driving enthusiasts who like to heel and toe their manual cars. P.S. Dissect a pair of New Rock please XD

I live in Chucks and would not say that they are uncomfortable, but that they do not prevent fatigue. In another regard (for general use at least) they hardly feel like one is wearing a shoe so are very comfortable that way. There are other variations besides the classic and the 70's. I've a few chuck taylor "boots" that have more cushion in the footbeds, some chucks with removable insoles, etc.

Have you considered cutting up a pair of Iron Rangers?

I only wear chucks with Dr. Scholls arch support inserts. They basically transform the most uncomfortable shoe to being one of the best looking and most comfortable shoes out there. I usually get about 4 years on a pair of chucks. The area where the lower starts to detach by the toes I glue with loctite brand crazy glue. That will usually hold for another year before the shoe is ready for the trash. I also prefer the Chuck II because they go on more like a sneaker instead of having to play around with the shoe laces everytime.

Would have been cool to see a comparison to an older version. They have definitely upgraded since I had them over 30 years ago.

Absolutely love these shoes, I think they are quite comfortable, I've been wearing chucks for about 10 years straight.

Nice video. I have a love/hate with the "classic" Cons nowdays. Just ain't the same since Nike buyout. The foot bed never had much to begin with but I swear the few pairs I've owned since production with Nike they're just not the same. Not even tolerable after an hour if that. Which wasn't the case ever in my Converse shoes I wore in early 2000s that were still made overseas but before Nike came into the picture. Anyways... I'd put up with the uncomfortable soles (just put in custom orthotics and boom problem solved), but what really grinds my bones is the damn felt at the bottom soles now. That is also something never on a Converse shoe before Nike... I do own a few pairs of Chuck 70s.. and while they are nice, and don't have crappy felt on the soles (and the soles are a one piece mold just like the classics used to be) they are a bit bulky and heavier. Classic Chucks are lighter and wrap and mold to your foot and you feel like you’re sometimes not wearing shoes, but were supportive enough to get you through the whole day which is what made them so great and so iconic. Now the quality has dropped a ton and the more expensive superior Chuck 70s solve the comfort issue, but at the price of its behemoth looks and mass weighing you down. But enough rambling, Great work by the way --

Darn, I miss those shoes!

chucks were pretty uncomfortable when i started wearing them in middle school but after that 1st year, it was really comfortable. the sad thing was it was the only pair of shoes i had so i had to buy new ones every year. and every year, the price increased =/

Interesting to see what's changed for Converse over the years. As someone who wore them for years and even went through the painstaking process of removing the insoles of a few pairs, I can honestly say some things have been omitted: 1) a very thin rubber piece that took up space in the forefoot and toebox under the insole 2) a narrow rubber piece that was part of the heel padding under the insole The felt lining under the insole must be new.

I bought a pair of PF Flyers in high school I will never go back to Converse. They are so much more comfortable and durable. I've been wearing the same pair for five years.

The most iconic movie with chucks for me is the sandlot, the slide scenes and the running shots are just so iconic.

Chucks are good for low and slow walkers . They look awesome but have a terrible functionality. Maybe I’ll take mine to someone to add a drop, I love how they look but puttin them on for the first time in years they felt so goofy and terrible.

yo why tf your cat got such nice waves?

I just bought 2 pairs of new Connies, & they always seem to run bigger than my actual shoe size, so it's always a guessing game on how to order: 1/2 or full size smaller. As far as the flat feel, just order some quality insoles, like Sorbothanes, & pop them in. Instant Heaven.They're too iconic to pass up. I love my Connies. ❤

Chucks are great for lifting because you do feel stable in them. You can drive through your heels, toes, balls of your feet, whatever... all without feeling like you might roll because some squishy foam is going to move in a way you didn't predict. I really like wearing them for lunges or any single-leg stuff. Plus, they're just fine for the bike or rower.

For powerlifting, I pull the midsole/outsole out of my Chucks - they typically come out in one piece. The idea behind it is for my feet to be as close to the floor as possible for stability while still having traction.

For the gym, I wear Chucks or the low top canvas vans; totally depends on what store I wander into when it's time to get a new pair. Chucks are exactly as you stated. Vans are similar- maybe minimally more squishy, but still flat. Really, and thin, flat shoe is ideal for squats and deadlifts. The idea is you want to avoid a bouncy heal like a running shoe would have because it doesn't offer a stable platform; your ankles shake, and your knees feel unstable.

No - you're right that the worst thing you can do is lift in running shoes with toe and arch off the ground. But these have no support for your arch arch or toe. The outsole should be flat on the floor, but inside should be a wedge with proper toe and arch support. lifting in a "really thin, flat shoe" is not "ideal" whatsoever. Look to proper lifting shoes or crossfit shoes (even if you don't waste your time on crossfit).

Believe they were made to be a bit more comfy in recent years, I remember having pairs 10-11 years ago that just felt completely flat as if the slight amount of heel cushion wasnt there. Also for the common separation at the toes flex point is more wearing the wrong size than anything so if the laces get real close together from the forefoot area to the end if the tongue when tying them and if it has this bent looking appearance around the ball of your foot you're probably wearing the wrong size. Always important to measure feet with the brannock device and to know your size in centimeters

If you happen to be fortunate enough to fit into kid size Chuck Taylors, they happened to be the most comfortable pair of Chucks ever. The kids size actually have arch support and cushion in the bottom. Plus they don't make your feet look elongated. They are now the only kind of Chuck's that I buy and I also get them for cheaper because they're in the kids section

This is definitely what I think of as the most iconic sneaker. Second to me would be the three stripe Adidas, but that may be a age thing :)

I didn't know they had that heel but that actually makes them even more suitable for lifting. Weight lifting shoes have a pretty big heel. These are comfortable for lifting because there's no squishy support and the sole is flat to the ground.

I absolutely love my chucks. I have one exactly like the one you cut for weight lifting and I feel really stable and it also holds my ankles really well. I also have another 70’s pair for going out. I find that they don’t hurt the back of my feet like Air Force 1s for example. 🤷🏻‍♀️ really like them

I find that my Chuck's take time to get comfortable. If I wrapped them regularly, they are super comfy. If I take a break and come back, it normally takes a few consecutive days of wearing to get back to comfy... regardless of the shoes age.

I think they're amazingly comfy for an everyday shoe. I wouldn't take them hiking or do 20 miles in a day in them, but the same is true for most shoes. I've been wearing them for over 10 years now, and I don't own another brand of trainers

I went hiking with my chucks once, I honestly didn't feel much pain

I actually had no idea he was your roommate, that's super interesting

I've read that some time ago they changed their construction by adding some more padding to make them more comfortable.

God I use to love these as a teen even though they were soooooo painful

Powerlifter here, what you said is exactly the reason why so many weightlifters love them. After they formed arround your heel it feels basically like beeing barefoot but still have a little extra stabillity.

One thing I've always wondered and never thought to ask - What kind of knives and or blades do you use. Any thoughts on doing a video on your tools?

Lol that is what I think every episode is I want to suggest Birkenstocks. But I keep thinking... They are going to look like a sandal cut in half because we can see everything from the outside that's happening on the inside. I definitely recommend some Birkenstock repair videos, they can be pretty amazing and sometimes they completely rebuilt the entire shoe/sandle. I mostly keep wanting to see a Birkenstock one though because I found a pair for 5 buck at a thrift shop that had definitely chewed up some by a puppy and I was like these are 5 bucks I can repair these.

One reason why they are good to lift in especially anything do to with legs is because the shoes have little padding so there is more reaction force as feet don't drink into padding first and also adds stability as well

I skated in chucks for years. I always bought them a half size bigger then added a really good insole and they were good

I used to jog miles in these almost every day in high school for the old school feel lol, used to hoop in em too. Never sprained my ankle in them either somehow.

The most uncomfortable shoes I've ever bought. Had to buy extra insoles for 25$ to be able to wear them for more than 10min. Still liked them though ;)

Wore these for a hour and my feet were killing me. I sold them

I like how natural (uncomfortable?) they feel on my feet. They look good with a lot of styles of clothing too.

I think Converse changed a lot, used to be a solid thick flat rubber sole, but that must have been a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far away. I see they also make them insanely pointy-toed, like way too narrow in the toe to not squeeze. They used to have way more toe room but that seems to be a trend now with no room in the toebox, across brands and styles.

I think the comfort is dependent on the person. I wear alot of boots, from steel toes on the job site and alot of casual Boots. But when I wear a sneaker/shoe it is always chuck Taylor's I own several pairs of these and love them. When we are going to parks, or the zoo, or a trip to the big city and are gonna be walking and exploring in the summer time these are what are on my feet and I love them and find them super comfortable.

Most of the people that find it uncomfortable have high arches and Converse has no support for that. They’re totally flat.

@SPNKr16

Жыл бұрын

Flat feet require arch support. Arched feet require no arch support, but most arch support systems are compatible with arched feet nowadays. The foot collapses into the arch region requiring a flat but supportive surface to absorb all shock to comfortably return or go upward back into the foot. Flat feet already have a collapsed arch, the arch support literally cradles and supports the flat area absorbing shock much like mentioned above. My left foot is a bit flatter than the right and I generally prefer no arch support in all shoes. Nike Air More Uptempo basically has a mountain for arch support, at least my pair does (probably has to do with an over-pressurised air cell in the midsole beneath the insole. What I did there is use two orthotics for the heel and toebox, chopped out the arch completely. Then I chopped out the arch for the original insole, placing the original insole on top of everything I inserted beneath and it feels quite like a regular Nike high top now.

I tried Converse shoes one time and I had to take them back because they hurt my feet. I loved the way that they looked, but I have no arch and my feet are completely flat so I can only wear certain shoes. Surprisingly, I can wear Vans though. I'm looking for good boots but I don't know where to start.

Great deep dive on chucks!

I like chucks for weightlifting (specifically squats) because there is little to no cushioning compared to say a running shoe that way you're closer to the ground and have less foam to wobble you around when you need to be stable actual weightlifting shoes from like Adidas are quite expensive so chucks are a quick and easy to get a hold of for cheap

when you cut them I felt my heart miss a beat.

Chucks have always been more like moccasins for me. Definitely not for any kind of work or heavy play, but nice and light for casual wear. I've found the lows to be great for driving too.

For me to very honest with you. These shoes are by no means the best if not the cheapest weight lifting shoes you could own. After buying a new pair of these in white leather. I had to take a break of using them after 14days straight. Especially using them for work (standing & walking) most of the time. I'm only using them casually but still uses them for my lifting purpose. And i'd say.. this is definitely worth the money. Since I have a flat foot. I go half size up✨
