I adore my Converse Shoes

I simply adore my Converse Shoes. They’re not only comfortable; they define me. They can be everything I need them to be from casually cool when paired with jeans and an untucked button-down, to legitimately professional by swapping the clothes for slacks, and a sport coat. I bought my first pair when I was just a wee little lad of thirteen. I haven’t worn anything since. I never will.

A Converse Sneaker. It's classic, It's timeless, it transcends your body into a state of coolness found in no other form of footwear.

Converse Poem

I lace them on,
with a double knot,
the brand new converse,
that I just got.

I don't play basketball,
I can't do their tricks,
but Chuck Taylors are best,
man I love these kicks.

I love the stage,
I love the guitar,
my dream is to be,
the biggest All Star.

I love how they're tight,
I love how they move,
how they fit just right,
and how they go with the groove.

Black on Black low Chuck Taylors

My shoes
The best shoes in the world I gotta say,
Are my low, all black Chuck Taylors man,
Black on black it can’t get better,
I leave my house looking like a trendsetter,
I dress them up, dress them down,
And people can’t help but point to the ground,
And admire the way they fit me,
The way they were made to compliment my feet,
They keep it simple, keep it cool,
Keep it classic like a precious jewel,
Black on black doesn’t get any better,
Than my low, all black Chuck Taylors man!

Sneaker Reviews Converse Shoes

Okay, I'll get right to the point, I love my Chucks a.k.a Converse Shoes! I have 4 pairs, but two are really messed up, but I don't have the heart to throw them away (i told u i loved them). They are the most comfortable shoe for me. At school everyone knows that Converse Shoes are my shoe because I wear them everyday, literally. I think that Converse are the best shoe in the WORLD because they have never gone out of style, they are so comfortable, and that they come in all styles.

OMG, I love my Chuck Taylor sneakers! They're comfortable and they come in assorted colors. A lot of my friends wear Nike Air Force, but I have my own style. The best thing about these sneakers! is that they're cheap and when it comes to picking an outfit with a whole bunch of colors, all you need are different color laces to match your shoe and outfit and your good to go, "Looking Coordinated". Another good thing about Chuck Taylor sneakers is that they save you money on shoe cleaning products because you can wash them in the washer. My favorite style of Chuck Taylors are the High Tops. Why? Because they have more design options than the Low Top canvas style.
