converse all stars suck

[BustedS13]

i haven't had a pair of these since i was a kid. they suck. they take forever to get on and then they're rock hard and uncomfortable all day.

why do people like these stupid shoes?

[DCP94]

i think they are comfortable...i believe it depends on the persons foot more than anything...some have long skinny feet some have short fat feet some have long fat feet lol(sorry)

[flclsteve]

take to long to get on i agree
there cheap witch is a plus

[BustedS13]

there's no insole, it's like if i took a pair of dunks and gutted them

[LeftNutOfGowd]

Man no one wears those everyone switch to vans lol

[BustedS13]

vans suck too, anything with a vulcanized sole sucks

i bought these for business casual days at work and i'd rather be wearing my dress shoes :/

[Enna]

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.

[240trainee]

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.

[stiizy]

Only chucks i got are the Irobot joints other than that don't fuck with them

[HyperTek]

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.

[BustedS13]

bleh. i bought the all black ones, they just suck asshole is all

i'm gonna pick up some all black superstars on my way home so this doesn't happen again :(

...nevermind those look stupid

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.

[Phlip]

I don't wear them because I am 5'8" and wear a 10.5 shoe, they looked like fucking clownshoes on me, in my opinion.

[shishcabobers]

I've always have vans since forever, never really let me down until recently. The quality is going down hill.

[Logan]

I don't wear them because I am 5'8" and wear a 10.5 shoe, they looked like fucking clownshoes on me, in my opinion.

Am I here to amuse you?

Am I a fuggin clown?

LOL

I'm about 5'9 and rock sz 11 Chucks, I know what you mean but just gotta rock skinner jeans haha

[drift freaq]

old school Addidas FTMFW. Look cool and comfortable.

i have exactly the same. . 'specs'

[DUFFM4N]

people say "oh they're cheap" but they last like 1/2 the life span of a regular shoe, so then u go out and spend X amount of dollars twice as fast so then whats the point

[HyperTek]

what about k-swiss classics
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/cooperking/kswiss.jpg

i always liked white shoes, you gotta keep em clean and fresh tho

[reaxion]

people w big feet will look like they got clown shoes on...I love my chucks (although I do have some gel insoles in em, which make a BIG ass diff.) but I like em. I love my air max's though, hands down.

[lflkajfj12123]

yeah i wear my all white hi top chucks atleast 3-4 days a week

i keep the laces loose

double knot it and then i can just slip them on everday

who still ties their shoe laces...

[LeftNutOfGowd]

The shoes I really wear are my ed hardy slip on

[KA-Kait]

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.

[Ailiaw]

Nike SBs, accept no substitute.

While most got into it for the 'fashion' and hype I buy them because they are the most comfortable shoes I own.

[Edgar]

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

they smell like corn chips its awesome

[azndoc]

Am I here to amuse you?

LOL

I'm about 5'9 and rock sz 11 Chucks, I know what you mean but just gotta rock skinner jeans haha

Whoa whoa I've never seen you wear chucks.

As a matter of fact you were dissing them the other day.

Me personally all I wear is chucks.

I have like 8 pairs at home.

All black and white mostly, grey, and black and white with fat black lace is what I'm wearing right now.

Love these shoes.

QFT. I wore Chucks to Six Flags, and let me tell you, there was wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Seriously, if you're gellin like a felon Chucks are all good.

[Om1kron]

chucks are trend shoes, just like the rest of the dumb ass shoes people buy.

ha ha

im 6'5"

and i wear a 15

Ive got black vans slip ons and stan smiths

10.5... you should be so lucky

[articdragon192]

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.

[ESmorz]

I wear a size 14. So even if I wanted to be a hip alt kid I would look like bozo.

[lflkajfj12123]

chucks are trend shoes, just like the rest of the dumb ass shoes people buy.

lol chucks have been around longer than you've been alive

you act like people just started wearing them

[LongGrain]

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.

[enkei2k]

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

[Charlie]

I think I still have the pair from 8th grade. To me chucks are like a classic shoe

[stiizy]

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

dude they're fine get em, try them on first and if you like em buy em.......

[exitspeed]

Classic and comfy. Shell toes.

[lucky7]

i bought these for business casual days at work and i'd rather be wearing my dress shoes :/

business casual? where do you work, the circus? :D

i think they're stupid. then again, i also think nikes are stupid, as well as all the multicolored ones people are buying now. but i just wear doc's. 2 brown pairs, 2 black pairs.

[raz0rbladez909]

i always think the sizing is wierd in them, it always seems like they are 2 sizes smaller then my normal skate/running shoes

[ranger240]

colormatch the laces to the shoe. if youre lazy, get some like stupid lace-sized elastic ribbon to put the top laces, ghetto slip ons

[illvialuver]

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

[YoungGun]

I used to wear these in jr high, I would write band names and stuff on them and thought I was cool.

Now I just wear vans authentics.

There you go, great shoes. That's all I wore when I was younger.

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?

[S14TEENZ]

chucks are like wearing socks i think.....no padding or comfort

[iwishiwas-all*]

i haven't had a pair of these since i was a kid. they suck. they take forever to get on and then they're rock hard and uncomfortable all day.

why do people like these stupid shoes?


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

[ronmcdon]

what about k-swiss classics
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/cooperking/kswiss.jpg

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.

[ronmcdon]

Classic and comfy. Shell toes.
http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k232/jetgirlart/adidas_superstar_ii.jpg

used to have a set of those, and I agree they're nice.
cheap, easy to match with almost anything, subtle, and durable.

[thesimpleS13]

all nice shoes here! but, i think Puma Suede's are the most comfortable shoe i've ever had. Plus I think they are really classy shoes

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.

[JRas]

fanboy shoes :P

people think they are rockets or someshit wearing them

[HyperTek]

nah the trend shoes are those nikes that look like they are from the 90s with the different colors and the peeps who have like 5 pairs of the same shoe but in different colors. lol

[Matej]

When I lived in Europe as a kid, we only wore Converse to gym class. My friend wore his outside one day, and all the other kids made fun of him saying he should get real shoes, haha.

Although thanks to all the hype now they're everywhere over there as well. Praise Lookbook.

[Bubbles]

Soap has been on point this entire thread.

[Touge Noob S13]

I think that vans classics are FAIL.

i think most of the shit in this thread is fail. i do however, agree with the steel toe boot comment.

the dunk is the most comfortable shoe i've ever worn, be it original, SB, or 6.0

but i'm looking for a plain tennis shoe to wear on bizcazfri

The shoes I really wear are my ed hardy slip on

why do people like having shoes that look like they were in the navy in world war 2? like the shoes enlisted, and like had a bad night in thailand, got some ink done, and now you're wearing them

[!Zar!]

Air max `95 is more comfortable than a dunk.

Eh, they don't feel like platforms since they are still running shoes.

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

I just wish my 89` Pegasus felt that way... Feels like I'm wearing stilettos.

[mondojackal]

K-Swiss makes a white shoe that's got the sole made out of the "croc" material. They're freakin awesome. I've got a set; they're super light and super comfy. I wear em to work cause I'm on my feet all day. I love em.
