Our verdict

Converse is back with another incredibly popular model that has created a fuss in the fashion industry. The кеды на танкетке converse оригинал features a crazy high platform with a rugged vibe inspired by hiking footwear. This sneaker boosted not only our height but also our confidence when we were walking (and bragging) around town! This icon features a marvellous OrthoLite insole that kept our feet comfortable, and its stylish appeal matched most of our wardrobe (we'd skip skinny jeans, though!). Just be careful with wet surfaces, this Vintage slips like crazy!

If you're looking for a lightweight pair, FORGET about this one! It's crazy bottom-heavy, and if you're not used to heavy Vintages, walking for a couple of hours might become a challenge. If you love this model's style and you wouldn't want to change, the Sportschuhe CONVERSE Ctas Ultra Mid 772789C Storm Wind Black is still heavier than average (at 17.0oz/482g), but it's lighter than the кеды на танкетке converse оригинал by a lot!

You can also have a look at our lightweight trainers catalogue and find a pair that matches your vibe.

During our wear tests, we tried this Vintage on wet surfaces, and the experience was... unforgettable. In the worst sense of the word! We slipped, the outsole squeaked... yeah, let's not remember that again. If you're looking for a high-top icon that is also inspired in hiking, try the Vans Sk8-Hi MTE-2 CONVERSE CHUCK 70 OX "COMME DES GARÇONS PLAY POLKA DOT"!

Heel stack

Once again, this Converse rises as the highest of them all!

Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал Heel stack_1

At 50.5 mm, our calliper indicated it's the Vintage with the highest heel stack we've ever seen. Just wow, another record for the кеды на танкетке converse оригинал!

Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал_outdoor_001

We felt really tall with it, which didn't only boost our height, but our confidence too! But that's not it, as this big heel also makes the whole Vintage more comfortable. Hooray!

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

Our durometer marked 31.3 HA, so this Vintage's midsole is pretty much as soft as average.

Still, we found its ride super comfortable. Why? Well, wait for the insole section and you'll find it all about it!

At a crazy 14.2 mm, the only insole thicker than this one out of all the Vintages we have reviewed so far is the Hoka Restore TC's at 16.9 mm.

To sum up, this means comfort, comfort, and comfort again. The best part is that this is not your average insole, but an OrthoLite one! And we're loving it.

Regular Converse Chucks are pretty notorious for their narrow and pointy toeboxes but luckily, the кеды на танкетке converse оригинал isn't as punishing on the foot offering notably more wiggle room.

As evidence, we created a gel replica of the kick's interiors and measured its dimensions with a calliper. In the widest part of the mould, the tool recorded an above-average reading of 95.5 mm. This explains the added in-Vintage space.

Toebox width - big toe

Looking at the wide and rounded shape of the кеды на танкетке converse оригинал's toebox, we are pretty sure that Converse used a totally different last for this chunky kick!

When we measured its width near the big toe, our calliper returned a whopping 75.9 mm! That's one of the widest toeboxes we've comes across by far in our lab!

Toebox height

The only potential area of concern is the Vintage's relatively shallow toebox height. At 24.5 mm, it is lower compared to most trainers.

We didn't experience any issues but people with toe-related issues like black toenails should be careful.

Stability

Lateral stability test

This Vintage's lateral stability wasn't bad at all!

As a high-top model, it stands its ground against our wobbly ankles. If you want to feel even safer, you can lace the whole Vintage up to the top. We say this because some people (us included) tend to leave the last eyelet empty and tie the laces around their ankles.

Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал_outdoor_009

So, hey, this Converse is all about style. And there's no better style than the one you're comfortable with!

Torsional rigidity

Our thumbs had it tough in our torsional rigidity test, this Vintage didn't want to give in!

As you can see, its extremely big platform wouldn't bend. This translated into great stability during our wear tests, which we appreciated a lot. It's normal to think that tall Vintages make your ride lose some balance, yet this Converse pair proved itself to be different!

Just by looking at the кеды на танкетке converse оригинал upper, you can most likely tell it doesn't have the roughest build out there.

Look at that! Just as flexible as Simon Biles, ain't that right? Our heels felt happy and comfortable, and as it's a high-top model, we didn't really miss that structured heel of other Vintages.

To sum up, we gave it a 1/5 in our heel counter stiffness test. But trust us, we would've given it a 0 if we could!

Midsole width - forefoot

Our calliper had to do some stretches before measuring this Vintage's midsole width in the forefoot.

Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал Midsole width in the forefoot_1

At 114.9 mm, it's a fantastic 6% wider than average. Our standard-sized feet were pretty happy with the space they had to dance around. Also, a wider platform means a more stable ride.

Thank you, Converse!

Flexibility / Stiffness

With its chunky (and lovely) platform, we didn't expect this Vintage to be super pliable.

It took us 60.5N to make this Vintage bow, its stylish self didn't feel like going all the way up to 90 degrees! You might not believe it, but it's an incredible 151% stiffer than average.

Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал_outdoor_004

However, this didn't make the Vintage any less comfortable. When we walked around town with these pretty pals during our wear tests, we felt confident in every sense of the word. It wasn't like this model didn't bend well with our feet, but a higher result in our stiffness test is what big platform pairs like this one can't help!

Weight

We hope you're reading this comfortably on a chair, because you might not be ready to hear about this Vintage's weight. Honestly though, when we saw the number on our scale we thought that maybe we had stepped on it, but... nope.

Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал Weight

At 20.5 oz/581.0g (yes, you read that right) the Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал is one of the heaviest models we've seen in our lab. By far, it's the heaviest sneaker, but the most incredible part is that its weight is comparable to that of hiking boots! BOOTS!

Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал_outdoor_0012

And obviously, we felt it during our wear tests. Here, in EdiconnectShops's lab, we try many different types of Vintages (such as basketball, hiking, trekking..., etc.) so we're used to models that are on the heavier side. Still, when we walked around town with this Vintage, we felt it was dragging our feet down and back to the ground.

So, if you're not used to heavier pairs, you might not find this Converse super comfortable to walk in. Additionally, when a Vintage is heavy it implies that your feet will get tired sooner. The Star Run Hike is pretty comfortable overall, but this might be a breaking point for some people.

Breathability

When we took this beauty to our lab and had a quick look at its upper, we already knew the breathability test would be tough for it.

We grabbed this Converse pair (left) and the Adidas Astir (right) and put smoke into both using our smoke machine. You can clearly see it in the video, our candidate lost the battle, but it did put up a fight! After all, there's some smoke coming out of it, but mainly through the tongue.

Our light agreed, there isn't a single pore or ventilation hole around! The material of the upper is solid, and even though we can see some brightness, we can't say that makes the Vintage breathable. It's just the white colourway!

Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал Breathability_3

And the microscope just confirmed it. Look at that, there's no way the air can get through its iconic canvas upper.

With a 2/5 in our breathability test, don't expect to feel the air running wild through your toes when you wear this Converse!

Durability

What's a Converse pair without its extra iconic toecap? Well, our Dremel wasn't very fond of it. Let's see if its efforts are enough to break these 2 pieces apart!

It felt like it was snowing in our lab, all the white rubber was flying around after touching our tool! Nevertheless, when we put it aside to see the result... it wasn't so bad! What's more, it was pretty good!

Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал Toebox durability_2

After all, our Dremel couldn't get through that rubber 570921C, so the Vintage's integrity was completely fine.

Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал Toebox durability_3

The Star Run Hike (on the left) scored a well-deserved 4/5 in our toebox durability test. In the image above, you can compare it with the Saucony negras talla 20. As you can see, the NB model had it tough, and our abrasive tool almost made a full hole! It scored a 2/4, you can even see a black dot at the top that indicates the fabric was almost ripped apart!

Outsole hardness

As you can see, this Vintage's outsole is quite unique. We always put our durometer in the very same spot because it allows us to compare and understand better the differences between every model that gets the VIP pass to be a member of our lab.

Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал Outsole hardness_1

At 88.1 HC, it's just slightly harder than the average sneaker outsole. But take into account that it's the black rubber that we're analysing! We also have the brown compound and the white section, which is basically the midsole.

Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал_outdoor_008

Still, don't worry about it too much. The white part doesn't necessarily touch the floor, as we noticed after our wear tests walking around town.

Outsole durability

Last but not least, our Dremel could shine one more time!

Now fighting against this Converse's outsole, we expected it to be fine, honestly. Why? Well, first of all, its hardness was higher than average, even if it was just a bit. Second, it's a model inspired on hiking, its outsole has to be durable!

Right...?

Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал Outsole durability_2

Well... our tread gauge might disagree on this one. At 1.5 mm, this Vintage's dent was an incredibly 50% deeper than average!

Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал_outdoor_007

So yeah, even though the material is not soft, its resistance to abrasion is definitely not the best. This might mean the overuse of this Converse or if you wear it constantly on tough surfaces might make you see signs of wear pretty soon.

Note: signs of wear do not equal this Vintage becomes unwearable!

Well, you would have read our minds if it wasn't for our calliper!

Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал Outsole thickness_1

Just look at that, the big black chunk of an outsole got a result of 12.5 mm! This is, by far, the thickest outsole we've ever seen in our lab. Wow!

Grip / Traction

Now, now... brace yourself cause a lot is coming! The кеды на танкетке converse оригинал's outsole is like a new celebrity, and it caused a sensation all around the world.

Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал_outdoor_003

It features two big rubber pieces, in the ball of the foot area and at the heel. These protect the white section, which is basically the midsole material.

During our wear tests, we went out to have a coffee and for a walk around the park, and we felt this Vintage was fine traction-wise. We didn't have any big problems... as long as the floor wasn't wet or slippery. OH. MY. GOSH. This Converse could as well work as ice skaters, to be honest.

Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал_outdoor_005

Run away from wet floors. Wait, no, don't run, you'll end up falling on your bottom!

And one more thing: this Vintage squeaks! Yeah, we know, it's not the best news. But, at least in our case, it did occasionally, not all the time!

Tongue padding

We've got some more groundbreaking records here, or so it seems!

Converse кеды на танкетке converse оригинал Tongue padding_1

At 1.2 mm, it looks like our calliper claws are touching. This Vintage's tongue is an outstanding 87% less padded than average. On the one hand, we liked this because it meant less weight in an already heavy Vintage, and it also helped with the breathability! On the other hand, thin tongues usually equal less comfort; but we didn't really feel that with the Star Run Hike.
