This is my second pair of Chuck Taylor's from this seller and I couldn't be happier. Both pairs arrived sooner than I expected and in the original Converse box. As for the size, like so many others who are skeptical about purchasing footwear online, I read hundreds of reviews before ordering. I wear a size 7-1/2 and decided to go a half size down (Men's 5 / Women's 7) as suggested on converse.com. They fit perfectly! You can't go wrong with Chucks no matter what color you choose. Will definitely be purchasing a pair in white to add to my new collection.
