Thread: Help me pick my shoes

Hello gentlemen, I have a choice of two nice pairs of casual shoes, but I need some guidance in deciding. Therefore, I am asking you fine gentlemen to help me. (*) Here are the links:

http://www.sportchek.ca/product_desc...id=prod3380038 <-- Vans

http://www.sportchek.ca/product_desc...cCategory=true <-- Converse



(*) Disclaimer: I will try both models on before buying them so I can't guarantee that I'll abide by the general concensus.

mmmm, I do like skate shoes, very comfy Close choice, but, I think I'd go with the Vans.

Those Vans are you, sister. You'll look fabulous.

Vans look more casual, Converse are the sporty ones. What do you plan to wear them with and on what occasions?
Vans are more all round: both for sporty occasions and for going out if not more formal foot wear is required.

Don't buy cons.
I bought a pair once and it barely lasted one summer. The inside heel wore off resulting in a piece of plastic piercing my heel... in both shoes! Had to throw them out.

I swore I'd never buy converse again.

Thank you for the input gentlemen. I'm a very casual dresser (within reason). I haven't done any skateboarding since I was a teenager and took a fairly nasty spill, so these will be used for regular wear like to the grocery store, to the local pub, etc.
RW I had the same happen with a pair of airwalks I got in early 2005. They lasted until like a week ago. Still, I've been very satisfied with that purchase.
Looks-wise I like the Vans ones better and they are signature-Ilija but the Converse ones would match more clothes and the dirt/stains would be less visible.
