i’ve had my current pair for two years (i think?) and at this point they’re completely trashed. for the first year i wore them almost every day, and it shows. quite literally busting at the seams. the pic doesn’t even show the full extent of the damage. when i bend my foot, the fabric rips. there are knots in the laces that cannot be undone. the soles are so worn down that i can feel every little pebble on the ground as i walk. terrible arch support, but i don’t care. i love my converse :)

i’ve been a converse girl since day 1, and i genuinely buy a new pair every year because i wear them so much that they start to physically deteriorate and i have to replace them. i’ve gone from highlighter yellow low tops in 2015 to black high top platforms to regular red high tops now, and i can never get different casual sneakers from my beloved converse.

classic for a reason. wore my first pair for 2 years and they held up extremely well. if i had to default to any shoe for the rest of my life it would be this one

kind of a controversial statement shoe but I wore these converse nearly every day—partly to spice up my otherwise plain outfits, but mostly to give me a nice daily height boost. even though they’re huge, they’re very light and comfortable, and now they’re so closely associated with me that people will tell me whenever they see a similar pair in the wild.
unfortunately, I didn’t take care of them very well and had to lay them to rest recently :( the first photo is from when they were relatively new, the second photo is from a few months ago when the toe cap started hanging off (easy superglue fix but the beginning of the end), and the final photo is from a week ago, after the heel somehow came off on my walk to work without me noticing.
they will be missed but I think they’ve had their time 💔
