le converse

i am addicted to chucks or as the french say, 'le converse'.

i know some people say they don't provide adequate support for your feet however i've never come across that problem. besides did you know that wearing overly supportive shoes will cause you to not develop the balance and muscular support that we naturally need? just another plug for yoga :)

i love that converse are always the same. get a new pair in your size and it will fit just like your previous ones. plus they come in a myriad of colors and hey...they're way cool.

now i had the fortunate/unfortunate experience of visiting multiple converse stores in taiwan. and yes i was spoiled. color combinations that i could only dream of were available to me at half the price of converse in the us. oh to visit taichung just one more time for the shopping alone!

well today i was browsing at delias.com checking out the converse available and was enamoured with the above...especially the sky blue color. and i'm not sure i'd go for the slip ons but the spray painted laces are definitely a nice touch :)
