Honestly I'm not a big fan of Converse's Chuck Taylors. Please don't hate me Chuck lovers out there. For example: All Star--I think it looks appalling, gross and just plain ugly.
Harsh words much? No. I just don't feel it. Buying shoes is NOT one of those things that when you see it, you buy it immediately. We have to check, visualize ourselves wearing the shoes and if we can walk properly with it (not walk like a penguin). For me, when I first thought this All Star was going to be great for me, I was disappointed. It just didn't grab my heart.
However when I saw the John Varvatos All Star Chuck Taylor Painted in Burgandy/Black I gasped and smiled. "Wow! That's my exercise/gym shoe right thurr!!!"
Yes it looks old, but the wear and tear look just adds the illusion of how much you love these Chucks and how much you use them.
Tip: Don't tie the knots if you plan wearing this shoe--it just looks so much better loose.
How about you? What's your favorite Chucks?
