I have purchased many pairs of Chucks over the years and was pretty disappointed with this pair. Within weeks the bottoms of the shoes started detaching, and the left shoe had already worn through on the bottom. At first I thought it was because of my job where I am constantly on my feet. Based on the many reviews here stating these are fakes, I ordered another pair directly from Nike/Converse and the new pair did not have the same problems.

I cannot say for certain that these are fakes. I've previously purchased pairs from Amazon that lasted years and never had a reason to suspect they were anything but legitimate Converse. In the future, however, I will purchase directly from Nike/Converse.
