The Converse Jack Purcell Classic is fundamentally unchanged from the original that debuted in the 1930s. A light canvas upper and EVA sockliner combine for all-day comfort, while signature details let the legacy live on.

• Canvas upper for lightweight comfort
• EVA sockliner for cushioning
• Rubber outsole for durable traction
• Medial eyelets enhance airflow

Back in the 1935, legendary Canadian badminton champion Jack Purcell was undefeated worldwide—and increasingly frustrated with the quality of badminton footwear. In designing his own athletic shoe, Purcell created a canvas and rubber sneaker with a signature "smile" across its toe—a now-iconic celebration of personal style and casual refinement.

Converse sizing is unique and sneaker specific. Converse Standard Sneakers are expected to run true to size. Be sure to use the size chart associated with each product. If you are uncertain please check the size message above the size selector on the specific product page.

Wear the type of socks you'll wear with your sneakers and measure feet in the afternoon (feet typically swell during the day). Distribute weight evenly before measuring.

Stand up straight on a hard surface with your heel against the wall and a piece of blank paper taped to the floor, flush against the wall beneath your foot.

Have someone mark the longest part of your foot (referred to as heel-to-toe length) on the paper with a pen or pencil, or measure yourself if necessary. Repeat with the other foot, as right and left sizes may be different.

Use a ruler to measure the heel-to-toe length you marked for each foot.
