The Converse Chuck Taylor 70’s! A little upgrade to their old digs you see! The classic Chuck Taylors are legendary but there were a lot of cost saving measures taken in the 80’s and 90’s when Converse wasn’t as popular as when they pretty much owned the market. But fear not! 10 years after they were bought by Nike they faithfully reproduced chucks how they were made in the 70’s and WOWIE KAPOWIIE are they better! Also these are not high tops and I have a troubled past with high tops but...maybe one day I’ll get a pair. I just need to overcome the pain and agony of trying to put them on first.

The two are set on taking over the world of fashion by creating a clothing line to end all clothing lines. Until then, we’re here to tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about the best clothing out there, from the highest quality raw denim jeans to the warmest jacket to the sturdiest boots…the Iron Snail has got you covered.

Very interested now finding out the clown shoe look is fixed lol. I wear size 13s and the toe box on regular converse at that size look borderline comical.
Yup agreed! Much better now
Same bro
Ey Man. This is so beautifully recorded, b-roll shots are such a vibe. Kudos Bro!
As for the fit, i chose my regular size and they fit me perfectly. However, when going for the cheep all strars i recommend to size down half a size.
Ah, my old friend / enemy the Chuck Taylor. I wore these basically from middle school until I was 25 or so because 1.) before Nike bought them they were $25 a pair, 2.) if your mom wouldn't buy you Jordans, in the 80's-90's they made Chucks in every color and pattern imaginable so you could still try and be fly and 3.) I had the opposite problem you had in that I always had big feet so Chucks were the best fitting show for me. The downside was that (and I assume still is): they are very heavy, they have no arch support (an orthopedist told one of my friends that Chucks have essentially put both his kids through college), if you get them wet, it's a wrap; and the sole will develop a gigantic hole before anything else on the shoe fails. I'm glad they reduced the toe box to make them look less like clown shoes but the downside is, how are kids supposed to draw anarchy symbols on them now? I wish they'd take a cue from Vans and make something like the Old School Pros which have arch support and more padding for us olds who are less likely to kickflip then just collapse from back pain these days.
Hahahaha how could I forget to mention that since the toe cap is so small you have a smaller canvas! And I’ll be interested to see if a lot of those problems still plague the shoes or if they are fixed! Interested about the no arch support though as I’ve heard that a TON
@@TheIronSnail They're the flattest shoe you can buy. They've had a strange second life as the shoe of choice for power lifters because they're the next best thing to bare feet.
Oh that’s wicked cool!
Uniquely, for the 70s (can’t do this with modern non-70s), you can 100% take the insole out and replace it. I have a pair of superFeet pseudo-orthotics in mine, which sir right on the poron in the bottom.
I’ve worn the 70s with SuperFeet Blacks on 10+ mile walks and felt great!
Never liked the look of Jordan’s. Oversized goofy looking and frankly, cheap looking shoe that happens to be overpriced. Jordan himself must be laughing his ass off.
Eyy! Excited about vlogs, and excited about the exciting news!
Great video!
Ey ey thank you!!
I've been going through a pair a year since 2020 and currently on my fourth. Very comfortable shoe considering it's make and occasion. I wear them at work on slick concrete floors, and often walk hard and fast for full shifts. Honesty They'd last me longer if I just didn't feel like buying a new pair or didn't get them covered in grout or something.
Broooo. How timely a drop. I have this exact pair arriving Tuesday. I have the hitops in grey and I love them. So comfy.
No way! These are sweet AND my gf just got some custom high tops so I can’t wait to see hers too
I've owned a few pairs of the run of the mill low tops and hi top converse, but a few weeks ago I bought a pair of the Carhaart colab Chuck 70s and all I can say is OH MY GOD ONCE I WAS BLIND BUT NOW I SEE!
WE SAW THE LIGHT MY FRIEND
Spring is on the horizon and we get a Chuck 70 review, happy times. I have a high top pair in off-white, they're a great staple. Love how fun your videos are as always man.
Thanks so much! It’s spring time for sure!
@@TheIronSnail I give you a long distance hug Converse Brother from your Converse Sister.
Peter Roy , I give you a long Distance Converse Sneakers hug, from your Converse Sister.
😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰
It’s a crime that the 70’s do not come in wide sizes.
Absolutely. I can't wear the 70's. All Stars are more comfortable.
I have a ton of chuck 70s. Honestly will never think to buy normal chucks again. Most of the cool colabs are on the 70s now anyways so it makes it easy!
Exactly!!
The toe cap is a godsend design. Why? I had a Vans and it didn’t last for years because my toenail kinda poke a hole through the canvas. I have to find a way to cover those hole so i can save my Vans
They have good flick for kickflips and tre flips
i originally wore a size 9.5 but i decided to try smaller to get rid of the clown shoe look. I ended up fitting into a size 8.5. Whole size down. I normally wear a 10 and a 9 in boots.
Exactly, I did the same thing. I wear a size down to get rid of the clown 🤡 look. I hate that about converse but they are a cool shoe.
Do you have the model number? I like the color and the way it look. I never own a pair. Just tried it in store. Need to size down half a size.
Worth mentioning that the model you review are the same ones Butch Coolidge as played by Bruce Willis wore in Pulp Fiction!
Woah very cool!
My feet are wide so I can't really downsize 😅 The shoes looks classy. Glad I bought them.
so did you go true to size?
Subscribed because you said “if danger comes, I wear close toed shoes”. That feeling of leaving the house knowing if you had to run in a situation, you might be screwed cuz you wore flip flops or sandals or some shit.
I loved the music choice in this video. Looking forward to the vlogs. This vidoe made me think about going and buying a pair even though Im getting to a point in my life where Im too old to wear them, and any attempt to pull them off highlights that fact. Love the videos man, have a good weekend!
Hahahaha you’re never too old! And ty!!
@@TheIronSnail I love & hug you my Converse Brother
i havent been watching your videos for some time. its great to be back.
POOPSICLE! Great to have you!
im not really into fashion but the editting, the style of the videos, and the humour is phenomenal. great work
Thank you so much! Really appreciate that
They do look nice:):
It'll be on my shoes wish lists
They are super nice!
I have no idea why CZcams was like, “hey here’s this kids he likes shoes and pants”. But you keep those shoes and pants on, and I’ll stay subscribed.
This is the best message ever
If you have a chance, please try out the made in Japan All Stars Chuck Taylor. That pair is like a no turning back for me!
I tried them and I turned back
I’ve got like 6 pairs of chuck 70s and they’re the best looking sneakers, but….. the toe box goes narrow so fast up there and I can’t really wear them for more than 10 hours at a time. It’s sad.
Size up
Bigger size
THESE PARCHMENT COLORWAY (OFFWHITE YOU CALL THEM) ARE THE BEST CONVERSE 70S COLORWAY. NICE COP
This channel is so awesome.
hello, is there a difference in size between the regular all star and the chuck 70? Many believe that I have to buy 1/2 or 1 size smaller to fit correctly. Is that so? Greeting
The converse website says to order both styles a half size down.
Hello! Do your feet feel roomy (like enough to slide around) in the shoe or do they fit somewhat snug??? Great video btw!!
They feel pretty snug!
I like to call the 'front' of my shoes the toe. That said, I love wiggling my bows in a cool stream.
Oh wow the TOE! Why did that not cross my mind
@@TheIronSnail 🤣
i’ve had a pair for a year and they are nuts
Can’t agree more!
May I add that the rubber toe box is to protect the canvas when dragging the foot from behind you as you are playing basketball. After all the Chucks had been constructed to actually do sports in them 😁
What cuffed jeans are those?
Great video 😊
that's a nice Momo jacket! waiting for review :)
about chucks 70's... it has a narrow toe box, narrover than classic chuck's has, so if your feets are wide it needs to go up a half size or a full size and do not lace it up to much. if not, say "good bye" to your pinkies :)
Great to know! Pinning your comment! And oh I love this jacket
I wish they made them in wide sizes for my Fred Flintstone feet. Yaba Daba Doo!!
Haha!
Are they that much comfortable? I always wear classics but they hurt my feet now. I gave 10 pairs away to my nephews. lol
Okay... I'm so confused about the color of this shoes.. Is it white or off white which he shows in this video? 🤔
Jacket slaps my guy!
TY review coming soon!
@@TheIronSnail I love men who wear Converse ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why can’t they drop a normal all white or all black colorway
Better looking than those Rebocks !
Why does some Chuck 70 low tops has 7 lace eyelets and others like this one has 6? Size difference?
I believe so!
I have the high top 70’s in black and they are 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
FUEGO honestly shocked
@@TheIronSnail yeah I’ve had them for almost 2 years now and the more you rock them the better the patina gets.
Converse = A+
@@TheIronSnail Converse hug from your Converse Sister
Beautiful shoe!
AGREED!
where did you get the denim jacket with the 2 white bands on the sleeve? it looks really good!
Okayama denim! Look up “Momotaro battle stripes”
@@TheIronSnail thank you, great videos btw☺️
Ty!!
cars are the best sound booth you can use on the fly.
have the same pair, they are definitely the best
AGREED so much better I was shocked
@@TheIronSnail definitely worth the pay
If you like canvas shoes you should check out Novesta. Its a great brand which makes shoes similar to Converse for a good price and great Quality
Oh and I forgot to say that the video is great 😁
Ty I’ll check it out!!
so these are the parchment colored right? offwhite doesn’t seem to be a color way
Yup!
I usually wear 9.5 but sized down to an 8, if anyone here that rocks 9.5 and wanted to know what size to get.
whats your foot size in cm?
I'm a size 9.5 in Vans authentic, anybody know a safe bet for what size I'd be in these Chuck 70's? I'm thinking size 9.
what did you ended up buying?
I'm also interested
Hi I like the jacket you're wearing where did you get it from
A company called Momotaro!
Like you video. Also like the clean simple silhouette of chucks. But the quality of them is unacceptable. Forced to pay a premium for the chuck 70s is not okay either. So I bought some Pro Keds royals and it was like night and day. They have almost the same quality as the 70s for like $5 bucks more than the og.
Great B Roll and arguably your best production yet...
What are you shooting on Snail?
Hey thanks! Shooting on the Sony A7III!
@@TheIronSnail I just switched to the A7C (from Fuji) because of your channel heh.
just got the high top 70s in red, love 'em!
Great choice!
how do you avoid the tongue from sliding to the side
It’s a never ending battle!
on the second to last hole loop under the tongue and through the next hole coming out from under and then tie it off, basically keeps the tongue situated
Does it give you a add height?
Not too much!
"I just say, new video" lol
Short and sweet!
Imagine your feet shrunk back to a size 4😂😂😂
have you noticed that the laces have black stains?
Nope!
I wore regular old Converse shoes a long time. It messed up my feet but hey, anything for fashion I guess...
....maybe i need better soles
@@TheIronSnail or not walk as much...
I like the way you think!!
@@quadre2002 no need to walk when you can levitate
anyone who says Converse suck and aren't comfortable and don't last, I ask them "have you tried the 70s?"
A different ballgame!
front of the shoe is Toebox :D
Ah!
Hey lmk what you think about rogue territory waxed jackets.
They are unbelievable quality but just going from the measurements they are sized a bit odd! The shoulders seem smaller than I’d expect but I haven’t tried one on so it may be fine
@@TheIronSnail looks like a cool jacket but that's the issue I find with these smaller clothing company's their sizing are all different.
Agreed! Freenote has the best fit in my opinion though
@@TheIronSnail yeah cool stuff. I've been really on Huckberry non stop lately very cool stuff.
Huckberry is dangerous hahahahaha all great stuff
I saw in a store chucks with loops and the 70s model without. kinda strange, why would they add that to the cheaper model but not the more expansive 70s. are they fake? also, yours don't have the tongue loop. very confused.
Hmm, interesting! Where are you located??
@@TheIronSnail well, I am from Israel and checked about 7 stores so far. i wonder what's going on. did they release an updated version of the normal chucks and didn't update the 70s model? any info would be helpful. the Converse shoes here are imported from UK.
@@TheIronSnail also, wanted to add that I liked your video very much :D
Oh hmmm tbh really no idea then! Maybe they constantly make small changes?
Also thank you!!!
what song is that at the beginning omg
Every Second of My life by Vividry!
@@TheIronSnail grazie!

The 70s are much more durable. Typically wear thru the regular ones every 5-6 months and been wearing the same 70s pair for 2 years.
Is that a Momotaro type 2? When is the review for that?
Certainly is! And very soon!
@@TheIronSnail can’t wait.
Super great video btw but give us and update!
Will do!
Converse needs mono white 70s
lol i wear size 8 nikes and converse i wear a size 7 and it's perfect snug..
Yup exactly!
for some reason i wear size 10 vans and size 10 chuck 70s, the 70s fit pretty well and the vans fit relatively tight, vans typically fit small while converse says to size down, i wear filas in womens size 12 and the chuck 70s mens size 10 are womens size 12, i like my vans fitting smaller/tighter (still plenty of toe space for me) and my converse i like a bit looser
who knows maybe i got my converse slightly too big or my vans too small but i like both shoes a lot
I’ve been on regular ass Chucks for years... imo, quality has gone to shit after Nike bought them. 2020, I’ve gone to adidas Ultraboost & Yeezys... but, I’ve really considered ‘70s (**that’s the colorway I want too, maybe the high??)
I’d try them out!
did you get the 70`s? and how are they?
Just dropping a comment for the algorithm
APPRECIATED!
Does your insole squeak at you?
Nope! Some shoes I find through there’s a brief time between new and worn where they squeak and maybe I’m just not there
Pretty sure it’s not the insole. Some of the canvas on the interior, especially at the heel and the sides of your feet has a coating on it that squeaks when you’re sweaty socks rub up against it. not really sure how to fix, but I just wear thicker socks and they don’t squeak
PLEASE CHECK OUT THE 140$ MADE IN JAPAN ONES ON EBAY TOO :( COMPARISON!
Interesting i will!
why straight jeans
Straight jeans are so versatile. You can cuff em, pinroll em, stick em in a stew..
Nah but to answer your question, he probably just, like, likes the look of them. Personal preference and all that!
It’s true! I had skinny for so long I wanted to try something new!
Straight jeans for straight men
denim fit is wayyy too tight in your seat area my man... how do you walk up stairs?? lmao
It’s actually not! Maybe angle or something idk
But i do agree these are small! First pair of STFs so i didn’t know the ins and outs
@@TheIronSnail oh okay, thought they looked a bit snug in the thighs, which tends to happen after the 1st wash/shrink. they fit nice in the leg though, maybe it'll stretch back out with more wear.
Oh i think they are always gonna be just a little awkwardly slim so i have other pairs now that fit way better!
make in usa again and i’ll care
That’d be pretty cool!
Momotaro?
Oh yes!
@@TheIronSnail very nice! I’ve come close to getting something from them but haven’t yet. I was in Japan and got samurai jeans, and next will be momotaro, or oni!
WOW! You can do a squat. LOL
Plenty more where that came from!
I’ll be honest. The 70’s look too chunky. OG design is better
Interesting!!
I have never owned a pair of converse because they look like clown shoes
It’s the sad truth
I believe Converse (Nike) should stop producing the post 2000's "regular" Chuck Taylor. Chuck 70 is the real Converse Chuck Taylor! It's like the 70's and 80s Chucks we used to see around.
Converse are too narraw
3:00 into the video and you haven't said anything useful
🙃
the fuck you only got 4 k subs
Hahahahaha this is the most aggressive compliment
@@TheIronSnail hahaha normalise aggressive compliments
Agreed!!
Jesus loves you
no one ask
Why don’t Converse come with tongue loops anymore? Why must, during the day, I have to pull up the tongue from the toes of my shoe? It’s turned me off from the brand. I may no longer buy Converse anymore! In fact, I won’t.
Terrible shoes. Overrated that’s for sure. Most uncomfortable shoes I’ve ever worn
You're a witty boy. 😂
