I happened to notice this shoes when I went to France, practically every third person wears this in the fashion capital of the world. I bought one in a sale and now every occassion I can I wear my chucky shoes. No other shoes even comes close to the goofy devil may care attitude a chycky shoes gives.
I am hunting one for my 4 yr old daughter. Although this shoes is priced at 40 euros in India it is only 12 to 15 Euros, still very expensive for India. And Indians think of it as a canvas shoes worth 200 rupees, something for Converse to think about
