Converse Shoes

herobear

i just got my first pair a coupla days ago after wanting them for ages, i was kinda worried they wouldnt give my feet(and especially ankles) the support they need, but the boot version seems to give me enough support thankfully. only problem so far is that i cant wear them for extended periods of time or else i suffer with serious pain(ive already gotten a blister after 3 days).

other than that, i love them. i prefer wearing them with baggy trousers though, tight ones with cons just dont look nice..

if they hurts y u wears them...?try puttin insoles into them..?

herobear

for medical reasons, i have to wear insoles anyway, so thats what i do....
like i said the boot versions give me enough support so

Seriously though,i think its because we walk on the heels of our feet instead of ball-heel ball-heel etc.And all the plastic bits fall out and everything.Disaster of epic proportions i tell you!!

Who, me?

Well, I like them.
I've never really had any problems with my Cons. And if you wanted to make the general feeling of comfyness into a shoe, it'd be Converse.
Yeah, they've gone mainstream, but who cares? If you like them, you like them. If you don't, you don't.

For comfortable shoes to wear around the house, Vans slip ons are the best. Plus no laces.
I never liked converse, too thin. I like shoes to be tight. Plus they're not practical to wear around.

i have a pair of red and white slip on vans and they are indeed comfy but so to are cons and depending on my mood i wear both... sometimes at the same time...

Avril Lavigne happened.

the OC happened!

went to get them last year, they didn't have my size, finally got them in Barcelona last October, and fell in love.

theyr'e no longer as cool as the once were, as i just recently discovered and as pointed out in numerous other posts, the are owned by Nike and made by poor indonesian kids. Now i just feel guilty.

recently bought black and white check Vans slip ons, and on closer inspection the label in fact says "made in Indonesia". Crap.

I think I might grab a pair myself tomorrow. We'll see how I get on with them.

I dont remember posting that Avril Lavigne thing...'tis strange. I think cons are too common now, see them everywhere you go! Then you have your "punk" customised ones...

My friend bought them in Canada afaik. They might be here now though.

Just thought I'd say that I have a green pair, although mine are a very dark green, the only other pair of them I've seen were in Faro. Not too much of a fan of the light green

Used to be cool. Stopped being such about last year when every wannabe rocker started getting them. Now they're a bit of a cliche and are really just out.
