If I could give negative stars, I would. I bought these for my son and they were huge despite being the next size up needed in the Converse he already had. He's only been able to wear them for two months and they're moldy and falling apart. We have had Converse in our family for over 30 years, pass pairs on to multiple children and have NEVER had this problem. Usually the black stripe around the edges wears out and the laces need replacing, but this particular pair sucks! I feel cheated!
