Converse only better. Does it exist?

[mckenzie]

I do love my converse, to wear with skinny jeans etc, and I need a new pair as mine are decided tatty looking.
Is there a similar but different shoe/brand I should look at please?
TIA

Ha, snap, AppleSnapple - I know exactly the shoes you mean, I have them in red and black from last year and maaaaay have just purchased the green ones.

Have a look on Branch 309, I got Puma suede hi tops for £20, £40 off them.

I bought some leopard print ones from Kurt Geiger.

Look and feel lovely (think they are pony hair or something?) but they have cut my feet to shreds..

I like some of the Geox sneakers. Nice thick soles so more comfortable than Converse.

V interesting about the KG ones which do look nice - no desire to cut my feet to bits, though .

Tan leather converse on schuh I have them for autumn/winter their lush

I have recently converted to superga, I feel much neater with the shorter coordinated laces. Also the taping around my last few pairs of converse has come away so I have gone off them a bit.

Fitflop

Boden do a Converse type shoe
Also look at PF Flyers
I have some Fitflop sneakers which are massively comfortable and also wide. They are a few years old, not sure if Fitflop still do them.

I've just recommended these over on another thread. They're really lovely. Quite slim fitting like Converse.

Those look very tempting. I have suede Converse, which are comfy, but quite heavy and trainer like. Not summery like low all stars.

Another vote for the Fitflop sneakers here. The thick sole makes them so comfortable and supportive .
