I ONLY wear Converse. Here’s why 👇

I’m flat footed and have really bad sensory issues.

Vans are too soft and flimsy.

New Balance feels AWFUL when I walk, the toe curves so much that I stumble and can’t stand on my tippy toes.

Nike, Puma, and everything adjacent is too loud, too heavy, the arch support is uncomfortable, and they’re too expensive for how weak they are (1 pair lasts like 1-2 years with regular wear). They’re also SO incredibly ugly.

I feel like Converse is the only shoe that is durable, comfortable, relatively cheap, and flat-foot friendly. They also look good no matter how beat up they are.

Reject current trends. Embrace your old Converse.

... Read moreI know a lot of people wonder if Converse are really comfortable, especially when you compare them to super-cushioned sneakers out there. For me, with my flat feet and ongoing sensory issues, finding a shoe that feels right is a constant challenge. That's why I truly stand by my Converse, and I want to share a bit more about why they've become my non-negotiable daily wear. When you have flat feet, a lot of modern athletic shoes with high arch support can actually cause more pain than they prevent. They push up in all the wrong places, making walking feel unnatural and even painful after a while. My Converse, with their signature flat sole, provide a stable, consistent surface that my feet can actually relax on. It’s not about bouncy cushioning; it's about reliable, even support across the entire footbed. This makes them surprisingly good for walking, especially for city strolls or days where I'm on my feet running errands. I’ve noticed that while some find them uncomfortable initially, I think it's often because they're used to a different kind of support. Once your feet adjust to the foundational flatness, it's a game-changer for stability. Compared to other popular lifestyle sneakers like New Balance, which some people rave about, I've personally found them problematic. The way New Balance shoes often curve at the toe, or the specific type of arch support they offer, just doesn't work for my foot shape. It can lead to stumbling or discomfort, which is the last thing you want in a daily shoe. Converse, on the other hand, consistently offer that familiar, comfortable fit that I can trust. They're also incredibly versatile. You might wonder, 'Are Converse good daily wear sneakers?' And my answer is a resounding yes! From casual outings to even slightly dressier looks (yes, you can totally rock them with more than just jeans!), they always fit in. It's like they're silently saying, 'who said I can't wear my Converse?' – they defy expectations. Another huge factor for me is durability and value. In my experience, a pair of Converse can take a beating and still look great. They age with character, which is something you don't get with many other brands. This makes them super cost-effective in the long run. I also appreciate that Converse has been stepping up its game with eco-friendly options, like their Renew collection using recycled materials. While my original pair might not be 'eco shoes,' knowing that the brand is moving in that direction is definitely a plus. It shows they're thinking about more than just trends, aligning with a more conscious consumer mindset. It’s not just about fashion; it’s about a choice that aligns with practical comfort, lasting quality, and a touch of personal style that truly reflects 'my will' in what I choose to wear. They truly are my trusted companions for daily life.

why I train barefoot on leg days
I used to train in running shoes because that’s just what I thought you were supposed to wear. But I kept noticing my knees felt off, my hips felt wobbly, and I wasn’t feeling my glutes the way I wanted to. Once I switched to barefoot training (just socks or converse/vans), everything changed.
