I love the classic look of Chuck Taylors, but wow, these are legitimately the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn. I wore them recently to my work where I'm on my feet for 10 hours and am moving around a lot and lifting stuff, climbing up and down ladders, and by the end of the night I was limping and my feet were throbbing. I have another pair of Chuck Taylors, mid tops, and those have some padding in the sole and I can wear them all night and feel fine. I guess I'm going to have to get some inserts for these if I want to wear them longer than an hour. They also rub the back of my ankle raw, even when I'm wearing socks.
