Tell me why I need a pair of Converse

[Dancergirl]

Never had them before but do wear Boden plimsolls.

But I've been looking at Office's website and I'm tempted! So sell them to me - what colour should I go for and what can I wear them with?

Prefer low styles.

I think they are so uncomfortable - really flat. I have high arches and insteps though.

They wash brilliantly though - just throw them in the machine if they get a little grubby, replace the laces and they look as good as new.

I love mine I wear them with skinny jeans and a kurt cobain t-shirt (clearly I was a teenager in the 90's)

If you like them get them. I think mine are really comfy too.

I love them, never been without a pair for the last decade or so. Usually white but this year got a grey pair which I love. Also tempted by the navy. You can get leather as well as fabric which are better in rain. Yes if you have a really long day on your feet they're not the most cushioning for your soles but they're excellent for general use. I have high arches and find both birkenstocks and totally flat converse/ballet flats equally comfy.

I wear them with jeans, skirts, dresses, anything I want.

I find them very comfy. I have them in grey, but brighter colours also work,just with less things.

I've had a pair of totally brown leather hi tops for about 5 years, they're my winter boots. They are the most comfortable thing ever.

Because they are AWESOME. And come in some amazing colours. And in my opinion, if you're a slouch like me, nothing looks better with jeans and tees.

I would agree with posters up thread - just bought my first superga and they are fantastic

I agree with Hephep I love them...they are so classic in my opinion. I have some low tops and some xx-hi ones (just below the knee, black and covered in buckles) which I live in and could walk for miles in them.

Can I just ask a quick question? Why do our feet need their arches supporting? Surely our feet are designed to support us without the help of shoes? I have never understood why shoes have to have arch supports - you never look at a person walking barefoot and think 'Ooh they have no support on their arches, they really ought to put a pair of shoes on.'

I need my arches supported because they fall otherwise and its sore. I had planter fascillis, or whatever its called, thats why I like Birkie insoles. It was bloody agony.

Sam Cam wears them. Take that how you will.

Foot problems aside why do our arches need supporting?

Maybe they don't, mine are just pathetic.
Al those people wearng ballet flats obviously dont feel they do.
I even wear insoles in trainers. Im a martyr to my feet . I blame my mum.

I have really high arches so always wear insoles with any shoes!
Converse are really funky looking but totally overpriced like most clothes/shoes that have a 'label'. If you're not looking for a flashy pair like these
HarleyQuinn Converse (which I WAAANT!)
Then just gor for a converse style pair that you can pick up in Primarni or priceless shoes or places like that. they're a tenth of the price and some in most plain block colours

superga rule

converse suck

hth

Superga look a bit orthopedic to me. They were half price online but I couldnt bring myself to click!

I want the leopard print, zip hitops, someone linked to them the other week and Im lusting.

I love mine. Had a pair for three years now, used to wear them more in my younger days. They never go out of style and are light and comfortable.

cocolepew I have these...they're SOOO comfy and I love them. Worth every penny in my opinion.

Oops sorry >_

They're lovely , alas my fat calves/calfs(?) would make them impossible for me.

Why do you need them? You just do.

I have them in navy and Superga in white. Def prefer my cons I feel a bit daft wearing my Superga just now as every single bleedin' teenager I pass seems to be wearing them and I am most definitely not a teenager now!

I love them, I have navy high tips, white classic and a pale grey pair that I got from Germany that are slimmer than the usual style, but not as slim as The slim ones you get here, called dainty. I have worn them loads this summer with everything from chinos and turnips. I don't care whether they are in fashion, I love them and they are so comfy. Get them if you like them.

Love Converse. They are a bit mumsy these days (as in, you see LOADS of mums wearing them) but not frumpy imo.

I have been wearing them on and off for well over 20 years. Faves are still the black hi-tops I had when I was 13.
