Boring everyday shoes needed

[beansmum]

So dull, sorry...

I wear converse trainers every day, and I walk a lot so they get a fair bit of use. I've had a few pairs and they usually last a bit more than a year before the soles wear through and the canvas starts coming away at the edges. I patch them up with tape and they last another couple of months.

Is this a reasonable length of time? Should I just get the same ones again? Or is there an alternative that will do the same job and last at least as long? I need to be able to wear them with everything - dresses, jeans, shorts etc.

I think that's reasonable given you walk a lot and I wouldn't expect them to be particularly hard wearing anyway. The 'slim' Vans are a similar alternative but I don't think the quality is as good, so not much use for you. Even you always have Converse you can go for different styles/colours

Yep, I've had Vans before and they don't last half as long. I think they were more expensive too
