Converse All Star Chuck-It - My Favourite Shoes Ever!

This post is indeed, as the title states, about my favourite shoes ever - the Converse All Star Chuck It from the Chuck Taylor collection. Although the Air Jordan 6 in black that i had when i was 15 come very close, these Converse are simply amazing!

For those that have probably been on another planet for the past few years, Converse certainly have made a comeback recently. With recent fashion trends relying heavily on retro looks, it was a great opportunity for Converse to hit hard with their signature pumps and canvas shoes from the eighties. The eighties was a very memorable decade for me and i just love anything to do with it - music, clothes, food and drink. So luckily for me, Converse canvas coming back in fashion and discovering Chuck It is, i must say, one of the highlights of my life when it comes to fashion.

Here are my trusty comfy footwear -

The reason i love them so much is their weight. Hands down the lightest shoes i've ever come across in my lifetime! Another reason is that although they are canvas and from the Chuck Taylor collection, they stand out from the other All Stars. The base is different and the All Star label on the heel back is smaller. They also don't have the white rubber bit at the front above the toes either which i'm not that too keen on. I much prefer the cleaner look on the Chuck It.
I must admit though when i first got them, they did hurt my feet quite a bit whilst i was wear into them. However, i'm pretty sure this was because i modified them. What i did was add laces to them. The original Chuck It shoes are laceless because they were designed as pump slip ons without laces and there is an elasticated attachment from the tongue to the sides so they stay attached to the wearers feet. I prefer it much better with laces so i added them myself by punching holes because there none.

My request - if anyone reads this post and know of any places that still sell these shoes, please get in touch or comment on this post and let me know. As mine are wearing out a bit now and i'd hate to have to go back to wearing heavy shoes, i would love to buy another two or even three pairs.

Seriously guys, if you are a fan of the Converse Chuck Taylor series, then you need to check these out! You would not believe how light they are.
