Which shoes are better between Converse and Vans?
View attachment 393745
perfection at its best. Great for everyday wear and they make the best weightlifting shoes for shoes that aren't specifically for weight lifting. I took my regular running shoes and my Chucks to the gym to see the difference in my squat, could squat 30 lbs more with the chucks.
This is the only reason I wear my Chucks, for lifting. I can't be in them on my feet all day because they're uncomfortable for me.
Converse in general look better, but they break so easily from just normal wear.
I got a pair of Vans Authentic for this summer though. They’re not as wide as other Vans models I’ve had in the past, i like them.
My shoes dont usually break either, but my Converse almost always tear at that spot where the rubbery toe part meet the canvas. Maybe i just bend my feet weirdly, idkI haven't worn Vans since I was like 15, but I've had the same pair of Chucks for like 5 years now, and the soles are only just now bad enough that I need to replace them. In fact, all of my shoes seem to last forever. Have a pair of Jordans that are in great shape after 4 years, and some Saucony's that are going strong after 3.

The leather Adidas Stan Smiths last forever, imo
For years the only shoes (other than work shoes) I owned were chucks. I still lift in them but bought a pair of classic vans a few months ago and really like them.
Still prefer wearing sandals whenever I can. Fuck socks.
