"I love the Chuck Taylors. I thought I would give the leather version a try. They are more comfortable than the regular Chucks. Have padded sole and padded around the top. I just noticed after wearing them for over a week that on the bottom of the right shoe the rubber that meets the sole has been cut short and leaves a big gap. Prob can't return now after wearing over a week but if I noticed this earlier I would have. Should of been caught at factory. Not very good quality for the price."
