Question from the latest issue of GQ magazine

[lsquare]

Hey guys, I just want to confirm that the pair of sneakers that Jake Gyllenhaal was wearing are the Converse Chuck Taylor All-stars in white? Thanks.

No. God no. You shut the hell up.

In the latest issue of GQ he is wearing laceless Jack Purcells.

Are Jack Purcells any good? I've considered getting them for my next sneakers once these Vans break (which will be at least a year or so in actuality...).

 

[Ott]

they look great but they tend to shred my feet up.

 

[Jovan]

What do you mean? You get blisters?

I like my pair cuz they look clean and simple but they really arn't too comfortable.

not much arch support, i think puma roma's are more comfortable (and that's not saying much), i suggest you try them on first.

I don't really like the styling of Pumas that much, though.

Personally, I wear insoles in my Vans now and they're a lot better because of it, so maybe I can bring them to try on shoes... if the store will let me.

I've got a pair of the laceless John Varvatos black w/ raw rubber Purcells that I'm wearing to death. They fall apart similarly to Chucks inside (back of heel wears, etc) but they've held up fine otherwise. Nice to have something a bit different from Chucks and Vans but still the same vibe, and I'm all about slip-ons.
