Fits better, just like Chuck. Definitely more comfortable than the classic Chuck Taylor and the white rubber is white so you don't end up with an off-white like I've had several times with Chuck due to lack of description. But don't buy them, it just makes it harder for me to find colors and unique editions like Chuck's. I'm still a Chuck fan, but after trying this I definitely took it harder on myself. Originally purchased as an 'option' or 'spare' boot, it is not.
