The designs and ideas shown on those shoes are great. However, I'm not really comfortable when wearing it for a long timee.

Classic sneakers that go with any outfit—I’m partial to the black high tops! Note to anyone with arch support issues: you will need to wear insoles as the sole is completely flat.

I love my Converse. I can get a good couple of years of wear on them before I feel like it's time for new shoes. It's awesome to also have such a wide range of styles & patterns & colors to choose from.

Converse are one of the most reliable and iconic shoe brands in the world. Next to Levi's, I would argue that Converse is one of the biggest cultural exports for apparel. Their classic chucks are almost unchanged from their redesign in 1922! There is a listless amount of customization from various collaborations and trends over their time. I bought my boyfriend one of their "Run Star Hike" models which had a classic white canvas with beautiful yellow and baby blue accents. This is to date one of his most used shoes for traveling across cities. The shoes come in a black cardboard box that oozes coolness and confidence like the brand itself.

A classic, iconic brand for me. I remember getting my first pair of red converse in 7th grade and felt like the coolest, best dressed person in a middle school. I cant count how many pairs and different colors I’d owned in my life time. One of my favorite shoe brands for over a decade and beyond. A staple spring/ summer sneaker 👟 Are they flat and have little arch support? Yeah. Are the high tops annoying to take on and off? Yeah. Are they made from canvas and get wet in .5 seconds in the rain? Yeah. They’re converse, of course, and I love them.

I've had a few pairs of these. Unfortunately, I'm very disappointed in how much these have increased in price for the canvas styles in the last few years. The quality is the same so I can't justify spending that much on a shoe with zero arch support and a material that's not known for being durable...

I wear my Converses almost daily, they're my default shoes and have been for years. I had a pair of low tops last 5+ years and only stopped wearing them because I wore them so much I wore a hole through the sole. The new styles are my new favourite, the platform/more chunky style of high tops. There are so many colours and they really do go with everything, they last ages, and they're comfortable.

They're been around forever for a reason! They're comfy, look great, and last forever!

classic, would go for the chuck 70s over the regular because they're more sturdy

I genuinely wear Converse every day. As a college student, it is so convenient to have a pair of shoes that go with everything. I have a pair of white originals and two pairs of black ones. I have tried a few styles and have loved every one!

i own a pair of platform converse and love the design and how well they go with my outfits. however, my issue is that they are not wide foot friendly 🥲 walking in them for a few hours is fine, but after 4-5 hours of being out, my feet start to hurt on the sides and near the sides of my big toes. i know they’re not walking shoes like hokas are, but i still expect a certain level of comfort for all day wear in casual settings.

This is a historic brand that has been around for decades. I do love the variety of colors and styles that Converse has had over the years. My cons for the brand has to do with comfort. Some Chucks fit really well and others are too narrow. I find that if you have wide feet and are a woman, buying the guy's Chucks is better overall. The problem is that not all colors and styles are available in women's. The other issues are the lack of padding and support in the Chucks. I love them and put in insoles like I'm an 80 year old who needs orthodics but really I'm a 45 year old who needs orthodics. Sigh. But I've been wearing Chucks for 30 years and even customized a pair and wore them in my wedding. So even though I take issue with a few things, I've found work arounds over time. I am definitely brand loyal and will only buy this style from Converse. I know you can get knockoffs but they just aren't the same. Just don't plan on going hiking in your Chucks. I would pick a different style at the very least. The fact that they used to play professional basketball in Chucks still blows my mind.

I love my Converse as they always bring a classic look to any outfit. It's a bonus that they're comfortable for everyday wear.

Love that the brand is still going strong. They run bigger then actual size.

I have been wearing converse for nearly 30 years. Wear them to school, my ER shifts, running errands. Stylish and classic throughout the decades. I'm really excited to try the new version that slip on like socks.
