what's so great about converse shoes? Options

[ApocalypseAelis]

I hope this isn't spam.



Anyway, there's a LOT of people at my school who skate and are punk-y or emo-y that wear converse. Personally, I don't see what's so great about them...I mean, they do look nice, I'll admit, but not so much so that everyone'd want to wear them...is there anything unique or special about them that'd make them this huge fad? I think it's sort of weird how people labeled "skaters" or "emo" tend to wear these a lot...it's just this fad that has no meaning...why does everyone wear converse shoes? e_e



Why would/do you wear converse shoes?



It's just that people who claim to be unique or whatever wear these...and that'd just be conforming...which is what they claim not to do...-_-

I'll admit, I first got them cuz other ppl had them, and I thought they were cool, which they are, but now I'll keep buying them b/c they're sooo comfy!!! And they look funny which I like!

Oh yeah, and plus u can get em in like.... any color/design u can think of!

I think it's gay when scene people wear them.
But when preppy people wear them it's really cute.

some converse i dont like. chucks. i <3 chucks. not only do they look awesome but they are comfy as hell. i dont like the pink ones though. hate pink...ugh. anyways. i honestly think its better if 'preps' didnt wear them. but hey, i have no say in what shoe they wear.

I wear Convers LT C-Chucks. Its all in what the people like, some do it to follow some stupid trend that makes them think their individual, others wear 'em just because they can, like me.

[Nicolatofu]

What Rik said basically.... Different people have different tastes.. I really don't like them, but then again.. that's just me. Just like people like those nike shox or whatever.. and I find them sorta ucky. It all depends on your style.

[Paradox of Life]

Converse is just a company that makes shoes. I don't think they intended to appeal to these types of people, but once a few people in the "skater" category start picking it up, other people think that's what they're obligated to do too. And they look good, so why not? And you can buy need laces and they look even better. I wear Converse and I've spent like 11 dollars on laces so I can get them just the way I want. It is unique because people always write on them or wear different laces or something like that. And they have different colors and styles too. They're like customizable shoes. Not just "skaters" wear Converse. That's why they have camo Converse and pink and blue and everything.

I used to hang out with all "hardcore(yes i hate that word)" kids, but then i sort of switched friends, and now I hang out with...more of a preppier beach group, but nobody cares, I like the shoes, I still wear mine. Oh yeah chuck taylor was a basketball player, so nobody needs to say its a "punk" thing, cause its really a jocky thing

I wear converse.. And I match them perfectly. I have a pair of royal blue, red and white ones and I wear the nicest lacoste shirt with them... Anyways..

Chucks are nice. But I don't wear them for fad. They cost me 30 bucks plus they matched perfectly..

I'd prefer DCs if I were "Punk, Skater or EEE-MOW"..

[inthemudhole]

I started to wear them a LONG time ago before they even became popular again.
I guess I just liked how they looked.

[lovescream]

I only wear them because I they're the only shoes that look good in the color navy.

[miss barnes]

the skater/punk/emo people arent the only ones that wear them. lots of other people wear them too..preps..urban/hip hop/black kids (like me)

[sammi rules you]

they're really comfortable actually. and they can pretty much go with anything, no matter if you're wearing a skirt or jeans or shorts or whatever.

[LOVEDETOUR]

They match with absolutely everything.

[lbjshaq2345]

the only converse i would wear would be the new wade countrys cuz dwayne wade is awsum

[BlazingEdge]

to people who own both high and low tops,

which one do you like better? why?

I want to get a pair but don't know which to get haha

[LOWinSKANK]

everyone at my school wears vans.. ;x

i like converse cause they go with anything. =]

[alysaphobia]

They're comfortable in that nice sneaker way, but they're also stylish.

[win123454321]

I heard that if you wear converse with jeans with wide leg openings, you will ruin your jeans

is that true

[Jinny]

because they can match with anything.

[transcendentalis...]

And haha, converses are most definitely not a fad. They have been around forever and I suspect it'll stay like that.
HIGH TOP

I have some low tops too but high tops are just more..I don't know..nicer.

Nice shoes, Suzzette. :)
Converse shoes are classic, end of story.

High tops = ankle support!
Which I will need soon because standing in slippery restaurant for seven hours at a time does not equal nice feelings.

[Smoogrish]

I the faded pink low-tops I saw at GAP.. I'll go back and get them next time I go shopping.

They're really comfortable.

[melodicminor]

i <3 my chuck taylors. they're desert camo high tops and i got them for $20. i had 2 pairs before this past school year and i saw some really cute pink low tops at lady foot locker! but they're like $51, but i'll still buy em. [and i can wear a "9," 11 in womens, in chucks if i really try.] i wore them so they would match my outfits.

[cori-catastrophe]

I think it's gay when scene people wear them.
But when preppy people wear them it's really cute.

yeah. that's logical.
i love the high-tops. they are so comfortable and you can make them unique. on the website you can customize it in any way.

I agree. That's probably just because I think the whole scene/emo/punk/whatever thing is just so overdone.
