Converse's response to an email I sent regarding my disappointment at the dreadful quality of the new Jack Purcell:
Hello Robert,
Your comments in regards to the quality of the Jack Purcell sneaker made its way to my desk, and I wanted you to know that here at Converse we pride ourselves on bringing quality products to market. We did recently make several changes to the Jack Purcell LTT model that brought it's design closer to the original styling and construction of the model. Amongst the number of cosmetic/design changes we made to the model, we added several features that address comfort and durability of the style. For example:
- Reinforced stitching & molded heel counter for durability and structure.
- Replaced the flat sock liner with a molded and padded sockliner for extra comfort.
- Moved the draining grommets into the rubber sidewall for stability and durability.
As we continue to build out the Jack Purcell offering we are on a constant search for innovative ways increase the durability and comfort of this model. I hope that you continue to support our brand.
Thank You,
Your Converse Team
Although I appreciate the fact that Converse responsed in a timely fashion, I am not happy with the changes of the Jack Purcell. It looks like I have to get a pair of PF Flyers or ProKeds.
