How much height does the Double Stack add?

The platform is about 5 inches at the heel, so it adds a substantial lift over a standard Chuck Taylor.

Is it comfortable for all-day wear?

Most owners say no. The platform is stiff and heavy, so it suits short outings better than long days on your feet.

Fit is mixed. Several buyers say it runs large and suggest going down half a size, so try it on if you can.

No. The upper is canvas and textile, so it handles dry weather but not rain or puddles.

It shares the canvas high-top shape but adds a much taller, heavier platform sole. The standard version is lighter and more flexible.

Yes. Converse lists it as unisex and offers a wide size run for men and women.
