Alternatives to converse?

Hi there - I always wear converse and have done for years. What alternatives are there? Please don't say Ash sneakers, I've got them but I don't love them!

Superga?

Usual brands: Adidas, Puma, Vans, Nike etc?

i love ash and converse, am planning to try superga this year too.

I'd say Superga too, but I always think you can't go wrong with converse. Not sure if they still do them, but the Nike Liberty print trainers were really cute - bit more girly if that's your thing!

Another one for superga - I love mine and feel more supportive than cons

I like Spring Court, they are hard to find but they are really comfortable.

Toms. I just bought a crochet pair and a pretty blue stripe. They are so comfy and have an arch support insole. Not sure how long soles will last, but converse don't usually last more than one year for me anyway.

Another vote for Spring Court. I think Converse make my feet look too long and flat.

They are hard to find, no idea why, so I tried Supergra but the sizes were odd, my usual size 6 was way too big. And I didn't love the shape so I've just bought my third pair of Spring Court. They can go in the washing machine and are super comfy.

Another superga fan here, but (and I can't believe I'm about to type this) I recently bought these from Next and I've had soooo many compliments and they are dead comfy.

PF Flyers are lovely, come in unusual colours too.

Really don't like Toms, Vans or any of the others mentioned. It's Converse or heels. Superga look like middle aged mum trying to do Converse on the school run. No.

Disclaimer: I am of an age......

But still think I haven't lost my edge.

Hmm...

I bought some Converse yesterday for my summer holidays that are pink with white stars. Very cute for cycling to the beach.

QueefLatina · 07/03/2013 14:08

I really like these

A bit of a change from Converse. They do other colours too
