Converse is an american brand, a division of nike, their chuck taylor all stars range started off as basketball shoes but is currently one of the most sold and best sneakers available.
I first bought pair about 5 years back and they are a well rounded package. They are good looking, can be worn at any casual occasions, any topography and climate, comfortable to wear, long lasting and easy on the pocket. They may not be that light weight but are still the weight is comfortable and you feel light on feet.
They have cloth and canvas upper with rubber bottom and rubberized in sole. The rubber bottom is what gives the weight, but it provides sufficient cushioning, it does wore out a bit with heavy usage. One major point is that it can we worn in rain, it doesn’t absorb much water and get heavy and also it doesn’t get bad breath with even negligent use.
The converse are available at major shoe stores all over India and also online, there are also exclusive showrooms in major cities. The all stars range is all lace up, with variation of high top and low top, and mostly in color, a slew of colours are available including the classics to limited editions.
Converse apart from the all stars also provide other range of shoes, mostly sneakers that are derivatives of the chuck taylor all star and also a range of clothing and accessories which are both stylish and affordable, although the rage is more suitable for teens and young adults.
The price of the basic all stars start from 1500 up, but good discounts are available around the year, especially on online portals. They offer the same fit as the nikes and pumas and you can safely buy it online without worrying about the fit.Overall the shoes are great buy and a must have in your wardrobe.
