Converse

Kate blogs:

When I was eight years old, my mum bought me my very first pair of Converse trainers. They were bright red All-Stars and I wore them until they wore out. From that moment on, I’ve loved this style of trainer!

Why are Converse so good?

Firstly the style of them has never gone out of fashion. Even though the trainer has been on the go since the middle of the twentieth century, they look as good today as ever.

Secondly, you can wear them anywhere. Okay - you can’t run a marathon in them, but whether you are out shopping, in a club or hanging out with friends, they never look out of place.

Thirdly, the price is right - you can expect to pay sixty pounds or more for a pair of trainers from most shoe companies, but you can get a good pair of Converse for half that price.

Finally, there are so many styles, you can have lots of pairs to suit your mood. From bright colours to funky prints, heck, if you live in America you can even design your own pair on the Converse website!

All in all, Converse do some pretty darn good shoes. Check them out now, you’ll thank me for it!
