If you were buying one pair of converse...

Would you buy shoes or hightops?

Thinking of asking for some for my birthday, I've always had cheap imitations before.

Converse Dance are nice too, lower on the foot.

Low.

Hashtagwhatever do the white not get filthy? My friend in work was saying she always wears them but I'd be afraid I'd ruin them. She just bought a white leather pair. Must have a look at the Converse Dancers.

They aren't too bad I can have them a good 6 months and you can wash them. Never had a leather pair imagine they stay cleaner longer?

She had a leather pair already and had washed them a few times but then she put them in two hot a wash and ruined them. So this is the second pair. She will only wear spotless converse so I'd say she bins the canvas ones regularly. I wouldn't have thought the leather would go in the machine but she reckoned it was fine! Does the white around the sole go yellow at all, especially when you wash them?

I alternate between the low, high and a few others I have so they are not worn daily. I have never had the bottoms go yellow but like your friend one wash too many and the sole will come away from the fabric.

Lows. I never know what to wear with high tops.

Thanks hashtagforever. Might get a white pair next month.

White lows for me but only cos I wouldn't know what to wear with high tops? Help!

Feck I wear leggings and a baggy/long top. I've got neon pink hi tops. They make my legs look really fat... But then my legs are fat.

DD has a pink pair and a red pair. Never buy hi tops for kids

Never buy Hi tops for littleDCs, teen DCs who can lace them are fine.

I think it depends on your body shape. I'm quite curvy and large chested and lows look a bit diddly on my feet. His seem to balance me out. I love the low grey ones though.

Lows are more versatile though, I think.

Lows. Blue!

Always low. The highs are a little too narrow for my wide feet and I always get a pinched little toe!

For me, 40 something, I say lows. I feel hi tops make me look like i'm trying too hard to look young. My kids however, would say hi tops all the way and say my lows look too much like deck shoes

Neither. I'd buy Caterpillar sneakers instead, which won't look tatty within six weeks and fall apart within six months.

I have worn black converse all stars for the last decade
now everyone is wearing them I've just bought a pair of palladium black canvas boots

Tan leather lows.
