I bought these back in February and usually I have no issues with Converse and am a loyal customer to the brand. But these within about 3 months, the under sole started detaching from the rubber base wrap. I had hoped it was just minor and would not get worse and applied some heavy duty adhesive to hold it together so it would not get worse but since then the bottom has further separated from the rubber base wrap and now it pretty much is like wearing a sole with some rubber loosely wrapped around it and it &#34;pops&#34; when I walk (the sound of the loose sole popping in and out of the wrap). I understand that no dealer will take a product back worn 6 months in but in reality, I had stopped wearing the pair about two months ago and only now considered leaving a review. Even at 6 months, my past Converses will last at least a year before any separation of the sole begins so either this was a poorly made pair or these came from a reject batch of some sort. In addition to the annoying sole issue, they fit tighter width wise and overall more snug than past Converses I have owned at the exact same size (9).
