THE DESIGN High top Converse plimsolls decorated with the American flag. They are a seven hole sneaker and muted in shade rather than being bright red and blue. The sole and rubber toe cap are white and there is a soft shaped insole. COMFORT I do not wear pumps or trainers very often because I like fitted shoes and heels. These are for when I walk with my daughter in her pram, I like to cover distance as part of my keep fit programme so comfortable footwear is important. These have got a soft sole so are very comfortable, the stiff fabric protects my feet and ankles when I am walking but they are pliable so they move with my foot. ...  Read the complete review

As some of you may know by now, I am a big lover of shoes, and a big lover of all things American. It is because of these two facts that I just could not pass up on the wonder that is the Converse All Star Hi-Tops - Stars and Stripes. I saw them in a Schuh store when I was out on a shopping trip with friends and I just fell in love with them. I have had a few pairs of Converse shoes in the past, and I thought they were great, so I was quite happy to buy another pair of shoes from the same brand. The hi-tops themselves look just like any other normal hi-top shoes, made from the same canvassy type material and lace up. They have the baseball style ...  Read the complete review

I purchased these Converse shoes for my 20 year-old son as he absolutely loves shoes and Converse is one of his favourite brands. He has at least 14 pairs of various Converse shoes under his bed! plus a few pairs of his 2 other favourite brands. He has also bought plain white baseball boots and pumps and created his own designs on them with permanent fabric pens. I would like to post a photo of them all on here. I have told him that he has to vacuum his own room now as it takes ages to pick everything off of the floor. I knew that he would love these particular pair as he loves anything America - especially the flag, and wants to try and move to ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to fashion, I like to make sure I wear things a little more individual than other people. Being a fashion student makes standing out a big thing especially when fashion is something you love. Despite not being American and loving all things english, I couldn't help but fall in love with these when I saw them online a long time ago. Converse are a shoe made for sports, but over the years they have ended up being purely for fashion and this is where they will remain. Closely linked with the 'skater' or 'preppy' stereo-type, but loved by many more people and can be styled in so many ways. The Hi-Tops are the most popular shoes from ...  Read the complete review

Converse trainers are one of those timeless classics that never really seem to go out of fashion or at least they have the uncanny knack of always making a comeback, I have owned a few pairs over the years and one of my favourites are these stars and stripes design for which I paid £34.99 for online. These are the traditional canvas high top that go great with jeans or casual combats and they are amazingly comfortable to wear. It is the design that makes them really eye catching and bold as they are based upon the Americcan stars and stripes flag, around the actual shoe are bold red and white stripes while the tongue of the shoe is blue and is decorated with ...  Read the complete review
