Oh My Gosh! Cool Shoes Alert!, Jul 18, 2023 I love the color black and these are just the coolest things ever! I wore these to a Hilary Duff concert in which she wore the same kind of shoe (hitops, black). However, these shoes do wear out easily, which is why I had three pairs and had to throw one away. If you hate shoes tearing apart, I suggest you do not buy these.

Worn by everyone but regarded as individualistic, Jun 3, 2023 Nobody has ever disproven the old agage that we judge people by their shoes. Walk into a BMW dealership wearing muddy hiking boots, and chances are that you'll be directed to the local Land Rover dealer. Shoes, it seems, have a communicative power that other aspects of our apparel simply don't. In those terms, it's possible to explain the social penetration of Converse's now somewhat ancient basketball shoe. As a youngster, everyone's had them, from the sneering rich kid in college to the petrol pump attendant. That's possibly because they are the most informal (possibly anti-formal) footwear you can buy. No matter what you do in life, wear these and it will say, 'I am relaxed'. Perhaps that's not a good thing. They do not suit the over 30s, where the gap between reality and representation is bound to be a wide one. So if you're young, give them a shot, if you haven't already. You'll then notice the drawbacks. These are far less comfortable than they look. The stitching around the rubber toe cap will dig into your foot. You'll notice you sweat more too, despite the air holes and the canvas upper. And the high top, which appears to elongate the calf, doesn't provide much support. The sole also rips away from the upper. Wet weather is a disaster. Still, this is fashion at its most enduring. But perhaps, for some of us, there's a case for putting substance before style.

Wack, throwaway shoes., May 22, 2023 Why am I even writing this review? Anybody who contemplates buying them has already made up their mind because they dig the way they look. I suppose I am venting against a consumer culture that pays no heed to the durability of the goods they buy, which explains why these flimsy, uncomfortable shoes continue to fly off the shelves. Back when I thought they were cool, I'd wear them for somewhat less than a year before they started to fall apart. Then my mommy would buy me another pair. Ay yi yi...

greatest shoe ever made by man, Mar 13, 2023 beautiful, durable, timeless. that's the converse chuck taylor. i love these shoes so much! i've always had a pair since i was a kid. they've never gone out of style. they're actually getting hot again now due to new marketing efforts (like their product placement in "i-robot"). what else? um, buy a pair! appreciate them first hand =)
