Converse but comfier?

[CoconutAmericano]

I love the look of Converse, both the high and low tops but I’ve accepted I just can’t wear them. They give me blisters. Which is a shame as they are such classics..
So are there other brand I could try that are a dream to wear but would have a similar look to Converse?

Please and thank you, you style gurus you

Where do they give you blisters? Do you have flat feet? Wear insoles?
Or just wear trainer socks! :-)

Not quite converse but I find rocketdog pumps soooo much more comfortable. Plus nice bright patterns too

Not exactly the same but Superga are very easy to wear.

Londongin thanks, I get blisters on my ankles. My feet are quite bony and I’ve very high arches so Converse don’t feel very supportive. Plus they just rub rub rub..
I’ll check out the Rocketdogs and Supergas, thanks!

I have the white converse and they give me blisters on my little toes. I also have a khaki colour pair with some rose gold detailing (don't know if they are a special edition or something ) they seem to be a suede material and the sole seems to be slightly thicker. These aren't as narrow it seems and they don't give me blisters.

I find Ash very comfy

White Stuff trainers are super comfy. I got some suede grey ones in the last sale for £17 reduced from £65 and they are fab.

I find converse uncomfortable too, my favourites are Victoria plimsolls from Jigsaw, I have three colours! And they smell nice

Ooh nice smelling sneakers, never knew there was such a thing! Off to google..

Vans. Not like converse, but so comfy!

converse make me have huge blisters.

Stan Smiths super comfy

Ash are good, Supergas even better.
No blisters and no breaking in period with Supergas.

Are Superga wide? I always need a narrow fitting but find converse very flat for lots of walking.

Ok I'm making a note of all brands to try. Thank you, I appreciate all suggestions. Im trying to ‘cool’ up my look a bit.

Ive a free day on Friday I want to try on every single pair of Levis and find the perfect pair (hoping 501’s are the ‘ones’) and Im going to try on all the suggested trainers too.

Supergas- I nervously ordered a pair of silver ones a few months ago and they’re fantastic. They look much smarter than converse as well.

Vans are also extremely comfy- the sole is v thick and much more forgiving than converse.

Reading with interest. Converse are just too narrow for me. So uncomfortable.

I've recently had to end my 25 year relationship with converse as now into my 40s, I just need a bit more bounce under foot. I bought a pair of Nike Internationalist and they are great. Nice retro look and really comfy.

Toms trainers- not the slip on Toms with the really thin soles, but actual trainers with laces - they're awesome, really lightweight and comfy. I've got three pairs now and love them.

Vans?

Another vote for vans!

Both mine and DSs seem to have more padding/are a bit thicker across the back

Eek, just ordered two pairs supergra cos of this thread!

Superga, wide & super comfy!

I picked up some Supergas in the shop today and they were all SO heavy! Is that normal?
