I swear whenever I see someone wearing the old school converse I get jealous. They look so cute and comfortable. I have bough them twice and returned them twice because they were so unsupportive and uncomfortable! Am I alone in this one?

Re: Am I the only one who can't wear Converse?

I absolutely can't. My feet are soooo bad that even regular more supportive sneakers kill me.
Sneakers .
What hope do I have when sneakers are uncomfortable??
Skechers Go Walks that everyone raves about give me excruciating pain in about 5 steps.
So yeah, Converse are a no go for me

I hate em. Too damm flat and uncomfortable. I feel like you must be totally flatfooted to wear them and be comfortable.

I didn’t always love them but the more I wore them the more they “broke in” and are very comfortable!

I have two pairs and i guess my feet are wide actually I guess one foot is because my pinky toe dies when its in there. The pain when wearing one of them becomes unbearable. I have been meaning to see if I can get them widen somehow because I love them!!

Re: Am I the only one who can't wear Converse?

I’ve been wearing them my whole life and I’m definitely not flat footed...I guess I’m used to them. The first few wearing a are annoying because they need to be broken in, but once that’s done, they treat me well.

They do come in wide widths if that’s helpful to anyone!

Get the converse shorelines. They’re soooooo comfortable and you don’t have to tie them. I wear half a size smaller and don’t wear socks. They’re amazing.

I wish I could i love them but my feet don’t, more like my ankles. They give me the worst blisters with or without socks:(

No, you are not the only one. I have flat feet and I get blisters on the toes from them.

Nope! I love the look too, but they are not comfy. I found similar looking Pumas that are comfy and I wear them to Great Adventure or places we'll be walking a lot. Even though I own a lot of sneakers I love the look of converse bc they're not so clunky.

Me too! My foot is not wide at all but they felt so narrow and tight on me. I thought they were heavy too. They are so cute but, unfortunately, they just don’t work for me.

I can’t. They don’t fit me and feel like bricks on my feet.

Same. I even tried inserts and they kill my feet! I'll wear them if I'm not going to do a lot of walking, but that's about it.

Try the Vans old sKool sneaker, my daughter who is 19 said thats what people are wearing now instead of converse. They are way more comfy and I love them.

You are not alone! I have no arches and rectangle feet and they feel awful. They look weird on my feet too.

Re: Am I the only one who can't wear Converse?

They aren't my first choice in comfy footwear, but when I want that look, I use Dr. Scholl's inserts.

Can't wear them without those.

But they are more comfy than a standard converse? How? Do they have more support? Are they wider?
