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 white stars to complete the effect. The laces are a standard white colour. The pair that I have are somewhat different to the ones in the Dooyoo picture as the stripes are not as wide instead there are a lot more narrower stripes but still alternating with the same colours. Personally I think that the ones in the picture may be the male version of this shoe but I might be wrong. The rubber sole of the shoe is also white.

These fit wonderfully and are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time, I do find that in very hot weather they can be a bit sweaty but in the normal British summer that does not look like happening much this year.

The only downside is that they can get a bit grubby after a lot of wear but as they are not excessively expensive that is not a disaster and bacuase they are canvas they can survive a mild wash without losing their shape.

These are certainly attention grabbing high tops and they look really cool when matched with denim, I have had this pair for almost two years now and I still pull them out of the closet every so often for an outing.
