Edge and Converse sneaker obsession
« on: April 03, 2023, 10:48:01 AM »
What is it with Edge and the Converse footwear?
He looks like a teenager wearing them.
Can he not find another look.

Yeah, its a rather pathetic look for a 61 year old.

I’ve been wearing Converse sneakers for the past 40 years.

Just my 0.2 : women dig it.

Also : one of the most practical shoes when you’re playing on stage and need to activate pedals and switches.
A dangerous idea that almost makes sense...

I'm 37 and have been wearing Converse since high school. They're incredibly durable and last for years. 8)

I’m more of a Vans guy, but I can see the Converse appeal.

I do Vans as well.  The extra padding in some pairs are like a dream.

Are Converse comfortable,  never tried them.

Converse are uncomfortable at first but you get used to it. I’ve been wearing them for so long that I don’t even notice.

I wore Converse and Vans a lot in high school and after a while the arches on my feet broke down.  Not good for a runner.

I agree.

I wear Vans only when going out or on weekends.

My weekdays shoes are Sketchers. Very light weight and good arch support. Since I work standing up most of the time (by choice), they are perfect.

I usually wear Cole Haans to work and Nike when i am working out or going for walks.  Vans are pretty much weekend only. If i am "going out" then i have blue suede shoes i wear,  but thats a rarity these days.
