I </3 Converse?

I've come to the decision that I absolutely loathe Converse footwear. I feel they're much like Marmite - you get your Converse Lovers and your Converse Haters. What are you?

    Love them, mine fit like a glove at this point - I've worn them so much. The older and scruffier the better :thumb:

    I liked them when they were run as an independent company and weren't owned by Nike.....

    It feels like im wearing No Shoes at all. I have weird bumps in my foot though so it seems they dont fit me 100% :( (but i still own a couple of pairs)

    They dont last long though if you wear them a lot though. Ive had my black ones a year and they are dead.

    Well mine are fine* :p

    *By "fine" I mean they have holes in and are almost threadbare... but I've had them almost 5 years, too much history to bin them.

    I have a few pairs but I have big feet so I look like a clown, but even so, theyre really comfy.

    So comfy. However mine's squeak too damn much. But they are sexual.

    I've had mine a year and a half and they're still perfectly wearable.

    I <3 my Converse. I don't know what I'll do when they *actually* die and I have to buy a new pair.

    I've had mine for about 2 years and they're still in great condition. I've even customised them with pink laces :D

    I have a pair that Zella gave me :)
    I like them, just like plimsolls.
    I wouldnt say I loved them OR loathed them, but then again, I feel the same way about marmite.

    I want some green ones, mainly because they're green. I'm not fussed who owns the company or what the company stands for, if they fit well and look ok I'm happy.

    I've got some Hurley shoes that are quite similar to Converses, I :heart: them lots, but one of them squeaks which is annoying.

    Pink, phooey.

    Multicoloured laces and writing all over them is where it's at, ladies.

    I bought a pair after foot surgery cuz they came in a giant size and were on clereance for only $10. Nothing to complain about. I've not really seen them worn by anybody though in a good half a decade so I don't have any opinions really.

    I like them but I don't have a pair. Primark do similar ones for about £4/6 I'm planning on getting a pair of them instead.

    No real opinion, I've never owned a pair but I think they look cool on certain people.

    I love the way they look but I think they're sooo uncomfortable!

    I can't wear mine for long cos they hurt my feet. Shame cos I love them!
