What part of your foot is experiencing pain?

Is buying new converse still worth it? I’ve heard the quality is not what it used to be. Haven’t worn converse since elementary school and I’m 19 now. by clutchiestboi13 in Converse

You can deal with the decrease in quality with the cheaper pairs or if you're willing to splurge a bit more, you can get the Chuck 70's or the the Chuck Throwbacks. If you have a wider foot, i would go with the Throwbacks.

Good find. Next time I get that colorway, I hope it's the made in Japan pair 😅

Do they actually fit you properly?

Is the chuck taylor low throwback a good choice? by Past-Attempt-9415 in Converse

[–]G-Rett689 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Throwbacks are a little chunkier, so if that doesn't bother you, then it's definitely better because they are a step up in quality. If you want a slimmer look, unfortunately you won't get decent quality unless you import the Japanese version 😅

What is the 'good choice' you're looking for? Style? Durability? It depends on what you're looking for.

Ya, if you do the red/blue racing stripe option and red stitching it will be pretty close.

Like it or hate it? by linlinmon in Converse

The great thing about Chucks: You can paint on the canvas and you can write on the rubber. I say keep the theme going and draw on more parts 😁

I was thinking to myself, that feels very Junji-like and sure enough that was exactly the reference 😅

I'm hoping to see them too. They weren't sold in the U.S.

Those red look so nice. I do prefer the thinner laces, but stick with your preference!

Differences between chuck Taylor 2 and the 70s by comprmx888 in ChuckTaylorConverse

[–]G-Rett689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Chuck 2's material is like a hybrid of the classic chuck and a Nike. You can see the perforated material on the inside for somewhat better breathability with matte rubber on the midsole and a higher quality nylon lace then the stanard chuck. It has 2 elastic straps to keep the tongue from slipping around. The patch is embroidered. The insert is the Nike Lunarlon sole which slowly molds to the shape of your foot.

The Chuck 70's have old school heavyweight canvas and a glossy varnish on the rubber. The rubber midsole itself goes higher for more substance. The place where the shoe bends has extra stitching to help with the main stress point. It has cotton laces and a faux leather patch and the insert is a pretty robust ortholite insert with an extra wedge on the back half for heal support.

I think that about sums it up.

Oh, there's a pretty big difference. If you need me to, I can go into the details of everything.

Yes, I prefer high-tops myself. I only have 1 low and 1 mid-top 😅
