   Edit 5/11/16: I ordered 7 and a 7.5 on Saturday & got them today (they don’t ship on weekends) & got them today (weds) & I ended up going w the 7.5womens (5.5 men’s) so I was glad I didn’t order them from VS coz they do not have half sizes so it was worth the effort to get the world’s cutest shoes! 7 was a bit tight in the toes & I can easily lace up the 7.5 a bit tighter for barefoot. I’m returning the 7 & the 8 I ordered 7 is too small, 8 is huge there’s really a big difference between sizes & they are quite wide. I anticipate my feet being a bit swelled up in the summer was another reason I went the 7.5. It is hard to find these in half sizes so I’ve been reading. they won’t shrink nor stretch coz they aren’t leather. Only leather really stretches. I’m very happy w my purchase over all even if it was a pain to get the sizing right down pat. 7.5 in all stars fits like 8.5 in one stars if that’s any help. So now I’ve got 3 pairs of converse. I have 8 & 8.5 in black (the 8’s rubbed me I kno I’m crazy to buy another pair a half size up but I like these shoes!) & this pair of all stars in optic white.
   Original review:
   Downtown triple crown!!!! Easily the world’s cutest casual shoes!!!!!!!!! Easy effortless Glam w these. These run huge! They are hard to order if u don’t know ur converse size (n they are pretty wide to all of my web toed sistahs! I’ve got double wide most of the time in tennis shoes or at least single wide) well order at least 1/2 to 1 size down smaller than U would normally wear on the 1s that say “run a half size large.” They also have “true-to-size” 1s no idea on those!!!! I have these in the ONE Star “classic” (low cut I guess you could call them), in “black” (& ALl Star “optic white” low cut is on order). They are sooo cute! They are an instant classic. They sell them in stores & on converse.com & Victoria’s Secret has a small selection (not sure if in brick-&-mortar stores but online). They are $50 on converse.com & $65 on VS (VS does not carry half sizes a lot of their shoes don’t come in half sizes), so I’m deffo suggesting converse.com & they have their customer service there 24/7 so u can call anytime! Free shipping on $50+ orders too. They are pretty comfortable & look good which are in the exact order of importance to me! They look good on women, men, kids any1 can wear them! Some not all (it will say on the style under the pic if runs larger or true-to-size) run large like order a half size to a full size DOWN. So if ur like me & wear 7.5 to 8.5 get an 7 or 7.5 or 7. I ordered 8 & have to return them! How annoying to have to wait for my new order!!! I have both on order coz I want to be sure I get the right fit I may keep both 1 for barefoot 1 for w socks. I’ll just update next week when i get them. They have them in target too during the back-to-school sales but they are “one stars” (not fakes! Converse sells shoes in collab w certain stores that aren’t on their website I was explained yer they aren’t fakes althou if u look around Walmart & Kmart u can find similar looking non-converse canvas shoes). I got a fake dupe looking black pair from Kmart I had to toss they rubbed me sooo bad blisters! I tossed them & decided to go for the real thing. Much, much more comfortable except not a lot of arch support so if u have orthotics those would be gr8 for these. The target one star look so similar to ALL Stars, even labeled converse but Target’s one star converse also fit differently I needed an 8.5 in theirs! Insist on the original only!! It takes a bit of breaking in to get these how u like them. Wear a pair of thick socks first time ur breaking them in coz they can be a bit stiff. These are my “cute shoes” look so cute w shorts & a cami for summer. I live in Uggs in the winter & converse/flip flops in the summer. It is will be sooo nice when I get this sizing kerfuffle worked out then I can order more colors!!! When i have to walk a lot it’s New Balance (also for working out) & my dreadfully fugly SAS old lady shoes. I’m weird about my shoes. They have to be comfortable if they cause blisters they get given to goodwill (if like brand new worn once or twice) or else toss!! The perf summer shoes. Winning!! I will deffo repurchase once I figure out my converse sizing issues! That’s the main roadblock so I highly suggest if u can try them on (Foot Locker & Journeys in Malls carry them or u can do a google search dunno if journeys in national just remembered it off google search). U may want to buy 1 full sized down for wearing w/o socks & a half a size down for socks that’s what I’m doing. I have 2 pairs of ONE Stars 1 is in 8.5 (socks) & the other barefoot is 8. So naturally I was thinking converse.com I should go w 8. But no they are more like a 9 or 9.5! If u order from converse.com (tips & tricks) make an account first then order coz if u want to return them w/o having an account its $7 extra u have to pay to ship them back. Or u will hafta call them & have them email u a label or they can snail mail 1 coz ur order history it will only show up the orders when logged into your converse.com account. Hth! I am coming back to update soon so stay tuned!!
