I'll be honest: I've never owned a pair of Converse. But, I do think they're cool. I know my friends always had a ratty pair of Chucks that they drew on with a Sharpie.
I've never owned a pair of converse shoes and probaly never will. They just don't appeal to me. Maybe I'll find the right style one day so far that day has not come.
#Classic they will never go out of style. I was just on the converse website the other day designing a pair of my own. Converses can be worn to fit any style and that's what keeps them in style.
I love my chucks! They are definitley a Classic must have in anyones wardrobe. A simple red or black pair will go a long way.
I have owned a pair of Chuck Taylors. They are not the most comfortable pair of shoes in the world. On my first trip to DC, I wore a pair to visit all of the monuments. By the time the day was over, I had to be carried to the Metro. I will not make that mistake again!
Chucks is my favorite spring/Summer shoe. I love the relaxed look. And its great for everyday wear.
i am not a fan of chucks! They make my feet look so long!
I love chucks. They are truely a classic. They also can are so easy to outfit. The other thing I like about them is that when they do get a little old, it brings more character to the shoe as if they have some sort of story to tell.
