Converse All Star vs Chuck 70 — Cut in Half (Is the Chuck 70 Worth $30 More?)
QUICK ANSWER: We cut the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star ($65, made in Indonesia) and the Chuck 70 ($90, made in Vietnam) in half. The Chuck 70 is better in nearly every component: thicker 1mm canvas (vs 0.66mm) that took 49 lbs to puncture vs 38.5 lbs, a full canvas interior lining with a dedicated internal heel counter cover (the All Star uses a thinner sneaker liner that wears through at the heel), a removable insole, a 5mm memory-foam midsole layer, and reinforced fiber foxing that resists the classic Chucks sidewall blowout. Verdict: yes, the Chuck 70 is worth the extra $30 if you wear them regularly — the All Star is still the better pick as a cheap, replaceable classic. Bonus answer: the felt on Converse outsoles exists so they can legally import as "slippers" at a 3% tariff instead of 37% as sneakers.
