I'd like Jack Pucrcells more if they didn't have that cap toe on them.

Yea, it's why I don't think white purcells work very good sometimes. Though the white RaceArounds are better looking...

Interesting, I'm a size 8 in All Stars but a 8.5 in JP.

The JP are def more comfortable, too bad not as much of a selection as the All stars

If anyone is interested in the shoes I posted above let me know. They are size 8 and too tight for me.
