Have any of you found a place to buy replacement laces for Chuck Taylor 70s?  I bought some off Converse's website but the ones they sent were the all-star laces, which just aren't as good.

I found some sites online but don't know if they're reputable.

both patterns are amazing. but i'm more hi tops than low, so it was a pretty straightforward choice for me.

[louisbosco]

Hit the “unwanted” 70s Mother load at the local outlet today.

Just scored some black Jack Purcells with black laces from ssense.com for $38 down from $65.  Not sure why they were so steeply discounted.

[Matt]

Sadly the Jack Purcells didn’t work out. Converse’s size cart says they should be TTS but that wasn’t the case.  They’re more in line with Chucks. Fortunately they do free returns. Unfortunately they don’t have any in my size.

So I got these instead.  I think they’re much better…

Sick! Punk AF.

Speaking of Basqiat, check this out @Matt

That’s fucking rad @mclaincausey  I’m pretty stoked on the shoes.  They’re 70’s and will be my first pair.  I haven’t worn Chucks since high school.

There’s another collab pair that just dropped with Come Tees that I really want too.  I’ll keep an eye on the sales.  Got the JMBs for cheap from End.

Come Tees 70’s…

[Matt]

The Basquiats are here and they are awesome.  Since I haven’t worn Chucka in forever I guessed on the sizing and I’m not sure I got it right.  I went with 9.5 which is .5 down from my normal Vans, PF Flyers, New Balance sizing.  9.5 is my normal Red Wing, Wesco size.  10.5 is my Nike size  How do you guys size?

Do they look like clown shoes?

You went with a similar plan I’ve always used, however, I’ve actually been buying my chucks bigger lately as I’ve been getting some toe bite.

I’m a Wesco 10, Vans 10, and recently a chuck 70s 10.

I know a lot of folks think of them as clown shoes but dang, they're really tough, my feet breathe well in them, they come in so many colors, they're relatively inexpensive, and they're pretty dang comfortable!

I think those look great, Matt!

I just ordered the Rick Owens x Converse DRKSTARs from SE and am really pumped for them to arrive!

[Matt]

Thanks guys.  I wore them to a show last night and I’m pretty happy I think 9.5 is right.

Which is good because these are on their way to me…

…and I’m sweatin these pretty hard as well…
