vans vs converse? i don't skate at all (no balance) but

>>12312585
I think converse look better so I've never bothered with vans. I actually am considering getting some old skools tho. Do you guys think yellow old skools would be worth getting for someone who mostly wears stonewashed jeans?

skate shoes have vulc'd soles which last longer so Vans.

>but for metal concerts vans are extremely comfortable

Anything else would be more comfortable.

I wear both
Basic vans cost between 60 and 70 here
I literally dont know how people have them last for 1-2 years with heavy use, i have very small feet for a man of my length and they barely last 6 months with heavy use
Since bascially all converse shoes look ugly except for the chucks i'd say vans. Ive worn chucks for a while and they start curving if you wear them for more than a year and they make your feet look 10x bigger

>metal concerts
>not wearing boots to avoid having your foot stomped to a pulp by Billy Bob
Unless you listen to numale shit

I own three pairs of vans and two pairs of converse and they both hold up just fine.
Unless you're using them for hiking or construction work they'll last you at least a year or two.
Take care of your damn shoes.

depends on the material canvas will rip. old skools have a suede top and converse have a rubber.

vans is superior in every , converse if it were 2000's

Vans. Converse is for 12 year olds.

Sorry to hijack but I Washed my sk8 hi and the suede has gone hardish from the water. What do? How to fix?

They make shoe kits to fix this.

Since you might have goofed. This is how you can possibly fix them.

Is it worth re-wetting and letting drying again

>>12312637
fucking this.

Just wear some boots or something, steel-toe'd would be preferred. Canvas shoes like those will get absolutely destroyed at typical shows, and festivals, fuck that. Walking around a hard, mud-covered field all-day wearing those, done that, and never gonna again.

Never owned Converse.
Owned like 4 pairs of Vans over the years, currently got 2 pairs.
Never had a bad pair of Vans.

Probably listens to if he's wearing Vans to a metal-concert.

Anyone who wears Converse past the age of 13 looks like a supreme autismo.
Unless you're Billy Joe Armstrong, or a parent trying to fit in, converse shouldn't even be a thought
