Size and fit

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Slips are offered in women’s and men’s sizing. The women’s measurements run from 5 to 15, while the men’s go from 3 to 13. The size is about a half size to a full size large, though, according to several reviewers. 

Just like many classic kicks, these sneakers sport flat soles and no arch support. If you have high arches, an insert may be necessary with these.

The shoes are slip-on and rely on elastic collars to keep the shoes securely attached to the feet.

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Slip History

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Slips may look modern, but their story spans more than a century. These kicks wouldn’t be here if not for a model that debuted in 1917—the Non-Skid.

Later renamed by the Converse brand to the All Stars, these shoes would forever be a part of the history of basketball, thanks to a salesman and semi-pro player named Chuck Taylor. Chuck used his selling skills to promote both the budding sport and the shoes. He was so good at his job that it was common to see players on both sides wearing nothing but All Stars on their feet.

To acknowledge Chuck’s contribution, Converse added his name to the logo patch on the shoes and renamed these as Chuck Taylor All Stars. And because these were such iconic shoes, Converse has launched dozens of iterations throughout the shoes’ later years, which include these Chuck Taylor All Star Slip shoes.
