Converse are some of the best looking canvas shoes out there (besides Vans) and the lo-tops are my favourites! I like the idea of the hi-tops, I just personally don't think that they would suit me as much as the smaller ones do. I have quite small feet at size 4, and Converse are a rare type of shoe in that they look as good in the larger sizes as they do in the small. After all, they started off as basketball shoes so it's to be expected. Both versions of Converse are available in most shoe shops such as Office and Schuh and I've even seen the lo-tops for sale in John Lewis. They're always reasonably well priced and usually cheaper than Vans at around ...  Read the complete review

- Why I Bought - A few years ago I was shopping in TKMaxx with my parents when I spotted a pair of red Converse All Star Chuck Taylor Lo-Tops. I had seen people wearing these and the Hi-Tops and always thought they were pretty cool. These just happened to be in the sale for £10 which I knew was a bargain so I bought them, even though my father was convinced I would never wear them! - The Brand - Amazingly this brand has been around since 1908 when a man named Marquis Mills Converse started selling rubber sneakers. Over the years it has been a brand of shoe favoured by basket ball players and in Rock & Roll. - The Lo-Tops - I would ...  Read the complete review

I'd been hankering after a pair of Converse All-Star shoes for a while and so I was really pleased to receive some birthday money from my Mum with the clear instructions "This is for your Converses only!" I think my Mum is a bit wary of the fact that I tend to be a bit cautious and think about savings before spending! If you've seen Converses in the shops you'll understand my next dilemma. Should I go for high tops or low ankles? Classic sneaker/basketball style or newer skateboarder style? Which colour - black, blue, pink, green, red, mauve, cream .... the list is almost endless! Should I be a bit more adventurous and go for one with a design - ...  Read the complete review

I bought a pair of Converse All Star Chuck Taylor Lo-Top when I was looking for some pumps which I could basically walk around in in comfort.....the type of thing that I could just wear with jeans and that would be comfortable but not look to slobby. My daughter suggested a pair of Converse All Star's and so I found a pair of Converse All Star Chuck Taylor Lo-Top Purple Passion sneakers on sale at Amazon.co.uk for the very reasonable price of £24.99. There were a variety of colours, but purple is my favourite colour - and the Purple Passion was a really nice deep and rich purple which would complement many of the clothes I typically wear when I'm dressing casually. ...  Read the complete review

Converse sneakers/trainers I have been wearing converse for about 6 years now and I have to say that I just love them! I have been wearing the high top ones in various colour for years, but last August I bought some low top ones, in black. I bough them as my old ones were about 5/6 years old and they looked a bit worse for wear really. *About the shoes* I have the black and white ones, they are the low top ones and they reach my ankle. They look like the normal and more well known high top shoes and they have all of the same features. Although the only difference (apart from the hight of the high tops) is that on the high tops, they ...  Read the complete review
