What makes an original Chuck Taylor all-star more comfortable?..
The answer is DIRT. ohh yeeees..
Aside from the air holes and non-slip soles, its canvas and rubber material make this shoe preferred by.. well, me :) Don't you just dread its first few days when the soles are oh-so-white and the entire shoe is crease-free? You could just imagine how many people would notice you're wearing new footwear.
We tend to deliberately step on them to give that "aged-feel" and to make us 50% less conscious. :)
Recently, I went shopping while wearing my 9-month old chucks which I planned to replace -- Aged, Dirty, Soft, Comfortable. I was trying on a pair of the same converse shoes I had on when the saleslady asked me how long I've had mine. Without waiting for a response, she immediately suggested that I use mild soap in washing my shoes. "MIND YOUR OWN SHOES!" I screamed in my mind as I was annoyed by the nosy personnel, then politely answered "i like them dirty".
I glanced at my shoes, then stared at the display, then back to my shoes, then back to the display...... This went on for a few minutes..
My day ended with a debit swipe and a pair of Filas at hand. As for my chucks, I'm keeping em dirty. :)
