I love my Converse shoes from Zappo's. I prefer the traditional black pair.
I had always wanted a pair and then I saw characters on Dr. Who wearing them. That really inspired me to get them.
Converses look cute on women and upbeat on guys. The first time I wore them to work I got lots of compliments. People that usually don't say anything about what I wear took notice. Comfortable? Yes. I work 8 hour shifts on my feet and they were comfortable the whole day.
Try a pair and I think you will agree too.
