QFT. I wore Chucks to Six Flags, and let me tell you, there was wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Seriously, if you're gellin like a felon Chucks are all good.

Om1kron · 02-19-2009, 12:53 PM

chucks are trend shoes, just like the rest of the dumb ass shoes people buy.

S14TEENZ · 02-19-2009, 01:00 PM

Ive got black vans slip ons and stan smiths

articdragon192 · 02-19-2009, 01:21 PM

I bought a pair back in 03 in blue. I still have them to this day and wear them occasionally. They are also the shoes I wear to driving events. I got another pair as a gift because I thought I lost my original pair back in 05. Those I wear more often. I think I'm just gonna replace the insoles on them. A little hard on the feet after extended use, but I can't complain really. I love them. I refuse to buy another new pair seeing as how they're over 35 bucks for a pair when I bought mine new where they were 20ish bucks.

I wear a size 14. So even if I wanted to be a hip alt kid I would look like bozo.

lol chucks have been around longer than you've been alive

you act like people just started wearing them

LongGrain · 02-19-2009, 01:46 PM

chucks are all i wear

i still have my original pair that i bought when i first started wearing them in 8th grade. i've never had a pair fall apart or anything.

recently i started wearing the low tops and slip ons since I agree that the high tops take too long to get on and off.

oh yea and remember everyone, chucks run 1-1.5 sizes LARGER than average so get them a size or two smaller than you usually wear.

***enkei2k*** · 02-19-2009, 02:15 PM

werd i was thinking about picking up a pair to match my girl, now not so sure after reading this lol

Charlie · 02-19-2009, 02:17 PM

I think I still have the pair from 8th grade. To me chucks are like a classic shoe

i think they're stupid. then again, i also think nikes are stupid, as well as all the multicolored ones people are buying now. but i just wear doc's. 2 brown pairs, 2 black pairs.

raz0rbladez909 · 02-19-2009, 02:37 PM

i always think the sizing is wierd in them, it always seems like they are 2 sizes smaller then my normal skate/running shoes

ranger240 · 02-19-2009, 02:37 PM

colormatch the laces to the shoe. if youre lazy, get some like stupid lace-sized elastic ribbon to put the top laces, ghetto slip ons

I agree with the scene thing, but at the same time you should wear what you like for whatever reason. Those shoes may be scene but all black skate shoes are bro as the inland empire.

So tired of this Ed Hardy crap, so cheap looking and way to trendy for my taste. But like I said before whatever floats your boat.

AWEEEEEE, how cute, just like sadies.

So back to topic, I bought a pair a few years ago and after I wore them twice I realized that I too looked like I worked at the circus, and they gave me blisters. I don't agree that vans are the same vans are much more comfy in comparison.

I like my NB (New Balances) and my Creative Recreations.

YoungGun · 02-19-2009, 02:46 PM

I used to wear these in jr high, I would write band names and stuff on them and thought I was cool.

Now I just wear vans authentics.

The guy from the The Strokes, the guy from The Pharrell, and the girl from The Santogolds wrote a song about Converse.

All Stars suck. I had one pair when I was 6, my mom bought them for me. They wore out really fast, then I ditched them.

Don't they sell All Star's with a pair of girl-pants as a package deal now days?

S14TEENZ · 02-19-2009, 04:26 PM

chucks are like wearing socks i think.....no padding or comfort

why do people like these stupid shoes?

Yo I donno bout u but chucks have one use for me, the most bad ass shoes for a leg workout. No better shoe to squat or dead lift in. So flat that's why they rock. Ain't rocking chucks on ur leg days u ain't working hard

That's what I see German tourists (and one of my strange uncles) wear the most,
along with red socks, and ugly 80's style jeans that are a few sizes too small.

With regards to the converse, I agree with the OP.
Not a fan of the way they look or how they feel.
I just wear ugly loafers as I'm too lazy to deal with shoe-laces.

used to have a set of those, and I agree they're nice.
cheap, easy to match with almost anything, subtle, and durable.

thesimpleS13 · 02-19-2009, 05:38 PM

all nice shoes here! but, i think Puma Suede's are the most comfortable shoe i've ever had. Plus I think they are really classy shoes

yup staring at a pair on my feet right now. You can wear these things anywhere. Shit I have even worn them with slacks and a jacket.

Puma's are cool and I have a blue pair of old school Puma's but they are just not as comfortable as the Addidas. It has something to do with foot shape. Puma's are wider Addidas are narrower.

JRas · 02-19-2009, 05:43 PM

fanboy shoes :P

people think they are rockets or someshit wearing them
