Today I bought my first pair of Converse Chuck Taylor shoes. I'm returning them tomorrow because their soles make an unbearable "popping" sound every time I take a step. Whoever designed these shoes should be shot.

I will execute the designer of Chuck Taylors and all the members of his family to 5 generations. |

Converse are like bell bottoms, they should have gone missing a few generations before coming back. Instead they found their own sub-culture, refused to die, and then somehow made a awkward return to the "trendy" scene. A much less dramatic story than say the bell bottoms. I believe my last pair wore out in 92 or 93...I forget. Edited by NRE, Oct 4 2009, 09:45 PM.

Either the original designer of the shoes, or the basketball player who wore them, I forget. Anyway, I like 'em, and I like how they look. Just not good for walking around campus. That popping noise is atypical, I think, as mine are quiet. Edited by Abnar, Oct 4 2009, 09:57 PM.

Does the idea of wearing Chuck Taylor sound at least a little dirty to anyone else? |

I have a pair of generic pseudo converse. I just like the converse style of shoes in general because they have a nice white canvas on the toes that I can decorate with art and propaganda. |

I've modified my stance on Chuck Taylors. From now on I'm only wearing shoes that do not have heels higher than the rest of the feet. (i.e. Chuck Taylor-type shoes if not Converses themselves, flip-flops, sandals, etc.) I read on the interbuttz that these types of shoes are healthier for the feet/joints. |
