Converse Shoes - A Simple Twist on an Old Favorite

Friday October 20, 2006

I've been a long-time fan of Converse shoes, and it sometimes seems as if my favorite style changes with every new line that is released. But no matter how easily my head is turned, I soon realize that those are just momentary crushes, and that I'll soon return to my real and first love.

From the time I was a little girl, I've mostly and consistently adored nearly every version of the simple and classic Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars.

Having owned "Chucks" in a variety of colors over the years, I always seem to return to red or black, and I usually opt for either the low-tops or high-tops in their most classic form.

Appealing to everyone from rockers to preppies, Converse shoes are legendary, and the Chuck Taylor All Star is a footwear icon.

The "Simple Details" variation shown here offers a new twist with it's oversized details -- bigger patch, bigger grommets, and even bigger laces. What's not to love?
