I like the look of Converse but I tear through a pair through a semester, are there any similar replacements?

P.F. flyers are similar, made better and often cheaper. If you just can't live without convers though you gotta buy the pro skate CTAS hi top converse, they're a little pricey but well worth it. I had the exact same problem but my pair has lasted a good while (so far) but if they shit out on me before the end of the year i will boycott converse for the rest of my fucking life!

When I see converse or pf flyers I can only think of “red converse to prom girl” and the Sandlot, respectively.

the problem with feiyue shoes is that they aren't meant for general use, so walking; especially on pavement and rough surfaces, will destroy the soles really quickly.

Once Converse got bought by Nike they started making the shoes in Chinese sweatshops like the rest of Nike's products, so the quality understandably took a very, VERY large hit. The Converse of today are nowhere near the Converse of 12 years ago.

Thanks I didn't know that that. Makes me love the pair that I have even more now. Minus the soles starting to wear down (ofc) they are still in good shape, I'll be a tad bit more gentle with them. They aren't expensive shoes but I do like them.
