Converse white chuck taylor all star lift platform high sneakers

What is the difference between Converse All Star and Chuck Taylors? Chuck Taylors are now called the Chuck 70 they have a different price aesthetic, materials, fit, and sole than the Converse All Star. The Converse All Star is $30 cheaper, more durable, lighter, and has more colors available.

The heel and the platform give you a total of about 1 1/2 inches of extra height. The platform is made from a crisp white with the Converse signature black stripe running through it. It's basically an extension of the traditional sole that Converse is known for.

As for what kind of Converse are best for lifting, Dr. Levine says you can't go wrong with high top sneakers in particular. “High tops are great because they give extra ankle support,” she says. “They also have a wide toe box so that your foot can splay out with heavy weight bearing exercises.”

In general, Converse fit bigger than your average shoe. On their site, the brand states that Converse fit a half size bigger but some people say to go down a full size, especially if you wear a larger size to start with. A great way to find your Converse size is by manually measuring your foot.
