    I admit it. I love them. With every bone in my body, they are just my life.

    So, why do you love them? Or hate them?
    What's your favorite pair?
    Any style you hate with them?

    I love Converses because they're so colorful. They symbolize teenagers and fun to me. My favorite pair is the neon orange ones i found that are really old. I could never hate a style of them! :D

    I wore Converse in middle school. I had black and light blue. I don't remember why I liked them. :think: Well, they are like a rainbow, and they're just simple and classic. :cute:

    I have the coolest converse, they are crossword converse for I try to create crossword solutions on them in pencil. :D
    I love them, they are a symbol of youth, fun, identity and fashion. Needless to say they are fashionable little buggers.

    I like the style and the colours. Over the years, I've had three pairs (the first two pairs are too worn to really be wearable anymore) in red, orange and now I have an army camouflage pair.

    I have to say though that they're not the most comfortable shoe out there.

    I think they're comfortable, but not for like, PE or anything, because then my legs start aching.
    I have six pairs at the moment. I have dark purple high tops, light purple really-high tops, black and white polka dotted ones, plain black ones, pink high tops, and these shiny black and white slip ons, that are still converse all stars :grr:

    I have a blue pair and black anachy ones XD. I always wear one of each.

    I love the high-tops. Not much of a low-cute person.

    I've got my old black converse that are full of holes now, and a new red pair. :cute:
    I'd love orange ones, but mum would probably say they wouldn't go with anything XD
    But I do love orange. :shifty

    I love Converse. They're the only sneaker I'll wear. :cute:
    Red high tops, which are completely ripped up and broken. The color is so faded xD
    These black and grey camo low tops. I put checkered laces in them so they look sweeeet.
    And slip-on converses. Same style as vans.

    You know how people form a circle and take a picture of their shoes? My friends and I posted a photo like that 14 months ago or something. Now it's big, we see it everywhere; That's a discussion I'd rather not bug myself into.

    So yeah, I like converse. I don't love them and they are certainly not my life o_o. However, I have one pair and they're black and purposley "torn" with rainbow coloured fabric inside. I am the only one among my friends who has not written or scribbled on her converse. I'd like them to die the old fashioned way (=

    I would like a red pair. Because the fact that buying the pair is helping a relief fund is genius. Along with that, maybe a plain black pair. Plain black is very casual and goes with practically everything.

    I'm going to try to wear converse at my graduation, that'd be epic.

    I have a Converse related quetsion...

    I kind of want a pair...
    I mean, they look pretty snazzy, yeah, but another issue is that I need a pair of decent trainers. I can get Converse for, I dunno, about £25, which I don't mind paying, as long as they last at least a couple of years... I have some canvas thingies, but they're falling apart already (two months down the line) and I have a pair of platform things, which are great and quite old (4 and a half years, with no real sign of falling apart), but they are platforms, which isn't always the best thing on earth...

    So, yeah, are Converse long lasting? I've heard that they are, but I want to know for sure and any recommendations or whatever would be very snazzy...

    I've had a pair of red converse hi tops for a bit over 2 years now and they're still going strong. I wear them everywhere too..

    I have three pairs soon to be 4 when my mom orders them.
    I have white low-tops just for the sole purpose of PE at school. Red high-tops which I wear sometimes, due to my mom getting me a smaller size. Then I have green hi-tops which are nearly wrecked they have been worn constant for 9 months and thats like wearing them all the time at work so thats at least 8 hours everyday I'm at work but usually its more.

    vonny, thanks. :-)

    I'm getting paid on Thursday, so I may go hunting for a nice pair... I'm quite liking the hi-tops, actually, and I could probably use them for all sorts of things as opposed to just running around with small children/getting lost in the woods/erm... folding leaflets... and they're prety fashionable, so I'd both be able to jump around and look hip whilst at gigs :mrgreen:

    Then again, nine months of constant use equals close to wrecked? Hmm... I'm the clumsiest creature ever and my job usually entails climbing over things and hanging around with ickle creatures. Canvas trainers are coming to an end, which is a death I forsee in the next month or two... and I almost twsited my ankle in the platform things. I'm taking it Converse are better than a few quid of canvas from the little boy's section of BHS (they are rather cool, though), but for the price increase they should be...

    I suppose I should just give in and buy proper trainers, but they don't seem to sell Donnay anymore and I'm not paying in the region of £50 to look chavvy. Converse are pretty cool and I do secretly want some, but I need to be able to jusity it to myself... Ah, screw it. I'm going shoe shopping on Friday 8)

    I don't like Converse sneakers. I have a pair, but I got them a long, long time ago and I hardly wear them anymore now. I used to like wearing them...

    Now they don't match my 'style' (if you can call it that), so that's why I don't like them anymore.

    ^^Yeah I can understand that. My shoes have to fit in with my outfit. I'm conscious of styles clashing. Lately I'm been wearing my indian slip ons because my converse don't make my outfit.

    I really love converse.
    I have two pairs, but I want more!
    They're really comfortable as well, which is something for me because it's difficult for me to find comfortable shoes. :XD
