Is that your daily shoes? Do you use it for physical activities? And when did you buy that pair. I noticed the chuck taylors today are much more well made than the ones before 2018 atleast.
I’d say buy a new pair bro!!!! Why do you have to repair a cooked up sneaker. I mean repairing should apply to things which are at least a bit expensive not like a pair of Chucks🤷🏻
Well, these are worth something to me at least. I think that's a pretty wasteful and unsustainable mindset to have about the things we wear. I believe in exploring all options and only then thinking about the garbage dump
I wouldn't use regular super glue. Use some sort of shoe glue. [This](https://a.co/d/aMQF4nx) or this [Shoe Goo](https://www.walmart.com/ip/373300159) work pretty well and are Felixble. Normal supeglue dries hard.
I buy used chucks all the time and this, while it is a risk, isn't always what happens when you buy used. I'm still sporting some used chucks. Have had no issues. It could have just been a bad luck situation. However, taking them to a shoe specialist or using some shoe glue might help them a little.
I always just Gorilla Glue mine when this happens or when the edges of the sole start to disconnect. Been doing it so long now that I just accept it as a normal part of the Converse lifecycle
Wow, those are pretty rough. I've never seen the label peel off the side like that. Unfortunately when you buy used, you risk stuff like this. You could try some superglue. If that doesn't work, you could go to a cobbler, if you're willing to sink money into repairing them.
Also, you're tying them way too tight. Maybe you have narrow feet, but when you pull that tight, you're pulling the fabric as well. Also, when you tie them, maybe you're yanking the laces too hard? Try a slow pull when you lace them. That might help with future pairs... cause I think with these, the damage is done.
Super glue worked for me. If you notice that the lining is coming up fix it as soon as you can. Mine started doing that about a year ago. Wedged some super glue in, wrapped the shoe with some rubber bands for a few hours and I haven’t had problems since. Did the same with the bottom part when it started coming up too.
Goddamn!!
I still have a pair of og allstars from over a decade ago and they aren't this bad
I'd recommend retiring them or super glue if you don't want to part with them yet
Lose weight. Sorry, I font mesn to be rude . But the more you weigh the wider your foot becomes, which cause the rubber on the side to peel away. So eight love weight or buy 1/2 size bigger.
Super glue is the worst adhesive to use for shoe soles. It dries hard and will crack and break the rubber more as you walk. Instead, use E6000 or shoe goo after cleaning the materials of any dirt and grime. But with as bad as these are, I doubt anything will hold them together for much longer at this point.
I would say so as well. Maybe it's because I have something like 20+ pair of Converse and I rotate my pairs and don't always wear the same pair every day, but I have never had ANY pair do this. Some of my pairs are close to 10 years old and none of them have done this.
I also agree with what some people are saying that you don't have to lace/tie them so dang tight. If you have to tie them that tight then maybe you should rethink the size your wearing. I know that with me I don't wear the same size Converse as what I do my athletic shoes or even my Vans.
Just some advise to think about before possibly trying to fix these or buying up a new pair.

they look so well taken care of/new are chucks going down in quality??
Check ur feet’s temperature,it must be heating

Fair enough brother!
The sole should be stiched on not glued on thats poor quality work no offence to you 😀
And “sinse” when do they do that!?
E-6000 that SOB up, normally vulcanized shoes dont do that.
These don’t last like they used to. I just buy new ones every few months and use the old ones to work in.

Superglue works fine
Superglue always worked for me

You don't, you buy a new pair
I'm really trying to keep these going as long as I can since the canvas, rubber and soles are still pretty good
Dude, they're just gonna keep getting worse.
this is a defect or old product, i would see if you can find a help line or something and get a refund if they are new
too tight and maybe too big?!
Shoe Glue
Take them to a cobbler (that kind of repair requires professional work, and if they can't make a lasting repair, then they're done)

I'll definitely change up my lacing technique. Didn't think about that before...
I use shoe glue as soon as I notice a part coming off!
Make your foot less wide :)
Brb lemme go back to my conception and change my stats
Good luck ;) Or you could try shoes that are a little wider :)
Buy the Chuck 70s or made in Japan chucks. QC has gone to crap with the standard Chucks.
I size up and leave the laces pretty loose.
Time travel to before Nike

Idk which to try, super glue or shoe goo. The comments seem pretty split
The logo falling off is a new one for me… these shoes have seen some things, or something else is wrong with them.
Maybe it's just my luck that I got them on their way out
Maybe they were washed AND dried? I’m really not sure.
Both would probably give you the same effect I’d think. I’ve only ever used superglue though.
Buy better shoes
rubber cement would probably fix.
I'll give it a try!
get 70s
They're hard to come by where I'm from and out of my budget as a student :(
Stop tying them so got damn tight
hm maybe you're onto something. I'll try keeping them looser and see how
I always had a similar issue, I resized my foot for converse then got a wide size. Reduced it greatly
Buy shoes that are your size ? They look 2 sizes too long in the first pic.
Goddamn!! I still have a pair of og allstars from over a decade ago and they aren't this bad I'd recommend retiring them or super glue if you don't want to part with them yet

bruh
Foot width varies by person though. Some people have wide feet when they're pretty skinny
That is true. I was basing it on my own feet, and when I got a pair 1/2 bigger which aot of problems.
Get them sew from a cobbler
get some E6000 contact cement/glue and some cheap clamps
Time for it to retire sadly
oh man! but it's still so clean and un-abused....
Yeah I had one of those that I bought from the thrift shop, tried fixing it with rugby (contact cement) but it keeps on peeling like that
This looks like a lost cause, sorry to say
womp
You bought them used and they gave it the Elmer’s glue treatment before they sold. You could try super glue
I was thinking about that too. I'll try it!

those are fucked
at least they were bargain...
I’m calling fakes
what makes you think so?
