I got a pair from Zappos the other day, and I've been trying to walk around my house in them...these might be the most uncomfortable things I've ever had on my feet in my life. It feels like I have a piece of plywood strapped to the bottom of my foot. The balls of my feet feel like they're getting hit with a hammer every time I put my foot down....do these things break-in, or is this how it's supposed to feel?
Why does anyone wear Converse All-Stars?? These things are awful

They're hipster gear, hipsters wear them to look even more stupid than they already do. Nobody actually buys them for utility or comfort, they're an anti-fashion statement.

Hipsters???
For years they were the footwear choice of the drugged-out kid with greasy hair living in his parents' basement and playing in garage band. About the furthest thing from a hipster.
When I saw the thread title, I couldnt beleive it until I googled. They are actually still making these sneakers?? 
I remember being a kid in the late 80s to early 90s and wearing a pair of these. Had no idea they were still in production and fashionable??

C'mon man, they have been eternal. Never understood the appeal myself, but I know they have remained popular.When I saw the thread title, I couldnt beleive it until I googled. They are actually still making these sneakers??

Zappos is great with returns, though... I'll occasionally buy the same shoe in like 2-3 sizes and return the ones that don't fit because I have weird feet.

I have a pair that I wear on weekends. Very comfortable. I've walked countless miles in them. Are you overweight?

Because 20 years is an eternity.
Canvas gym shoes have been around almost 100 years and have never gone out of production. I remember wearing Keds, All-Stars (Chuck Taylor's) and PF Flyers while growing up. It's pretty much all that any kid wore before the explosion of sneaker companies that came later.

this!
just return them and get your money back, Zappos is free shipping. You can try 50 pairs of shoes and return them all if you want, won't cost you a dime

WTF rock have you been living under? For years they indeed were the choice of druggies with greasy hair. Those years were the 1980s. Now All-Stars and Chuck Taylors are the footwear of choice for douchebag hipsters.
