Its the 'in' thing to have. Doesn't matter if its comfy, it has to look good to scene kids. And this my friends, is why I wear skate shoes all the time. Fuck looking good to others, shit is comfy.

I love all stars and vans slip ons.

Comfy as fuck, just gotta break em in a bit.

They are good for me too, I have weird shaped feet, and these are cheap, so the break apart and form to my feet pretty quick.

Love em.

yeah these shoes suck if you going to wear them all day or be walking for a long time like going to an amusement park or something.

Plus side is they are pretty dam light on your feet, they feel pretty good if your driving. You can get some black ones and match about anything you wear, and not typically care for em. You dont get em for comfort, you get em because its a shoe that you wont care what kind of wear and tear is going to happen to it.

A classic look that often justifies itself/leaves much to be desired at the same time. It sort of says "I am a humble person" but still lets people know that you are either 10-25% alt or 100% post-alt.

I hate the all star's at first when i get them. it takes forever for me to break them in to that 'oh shit there are comfortable' stage. But once it gets there it's awesome. I own 1 pair of all stars and like... 5 pairs of vans... I'd go with the vans personally.

I bought a pair back in 03 in blue. I still have them to this day and wear them occasionally. They are also the shoes I wear to driving events. I got another pair as a gift because I thought I lost my original pair back in 05. Those I wear more often. I think I'm just gonna replace the insoles on them. A little hard on the feet after extended use, but I can't complain really. I love them. I refuse to buy another new pair seeing as how they're over 35 bucks for a pair when I bought mine new where they were 20ish bucks.

chucks are all i wear

i still have my original pair that i bought when i first started wearing them in 8th grade. i've never had a pair fall apart or anything.

recently i started wearing the low tops and slip ons since I agree that the high tops take too long to get on and off.

oh yea and remember everyone, chucks run 1-1.5 sizes LARGER than average so get them a size or two smaller than you usually wear.

Its the 'in' thing to have. Doesn't matter if its comfy, it has to look good to scene kids. And this my friends, is why I wear skate shoes all the time. Fuck looking good to others, shit is comfy.

I agree with the scene thing, but at the same time you should wear what you like for whatever reason. Those shoes may be scene but all black skate shoes are bro as the inland empire.

The shoes I really wear are my ed hardy slip on

So tired of this Ed Hardy crap, so cheap looking and way to trendy for my taste. But like I said before whatever floats your boat.

i wear my red ones without socks in the summer to drift days

they smell like corn chips its awesome

This is so gross, I almost threw up! my brother does the same shit.

werd i was thinking about picking up a pair to match my girl, now not so sure after reading this lol

AWEEEEEE, how cute, just like sadies.

So back to topic, I bought a pair a few years ago and after I wore them twice I realized that I too looked like I worked at the circus, and they gave me blisters. I don't agree that vans are the same vans are much more comfy in comparison.

I like my NB (New Balances) and my Creative Recreations.:p

All Stars suck. I had one pair when I was 6, my mom bought them for me. They wore out really fast, then I ditched them.

Don't they sell All Star's with a pair of girl-pants as a package deal now days?

Yo I donno bout u but chucks have one use for me, the most bad ass shoes for a leg workout. No better shoe to squat or dead lift in. So flat that's why they rock. Ain't rocking chucks on ur leg days u ain't working hard

That's what I see German tourists (and one of my strange uncles) wear the most,
along with red socks, and ugly 80's style jeans that are a few sizes too small.

With regards to the converse, I agree with the OP.
Not a fan of the way they look or how they feel.
I just wear ugly loafers as I'm too lazy to deal with shoe-laces.

yup staring at a pair on my feet right now. You can wear these things anywhere. Shit I have even worn them with slacks and a jacket.

Puma's are cool and I have a blue pair of old school Puma's but they are just not as comfortable as the Addidas. It has something to do with foot shape. Puma's are wider Addidas are narrower.

But I will say, they feel like you are wearing clouds on your feet.
