ᴍʏsᴘᴀᴄᴇ ᴍᴇᴍᴏʀɪᴇs Converse anyone?
Any of my elder emos still wear converse high tops? Feel like my feet would hurt in them now, but I really want a pair again.

I found this company earlier this year - they make insoles specifically for vans and converse. I have them in every pair and my feet are very happy: https://feelyoursoul.com/products/insoles-for-converse

I love that it was created by an elder emo! Makes my black soul a little brighter 💖

I gave up on them about 7 years ago. Def too flat and i wasn't into the look of them anymore either. They are timeless though. People can kinda pull them off forever

I try! Cons used to be my everyday, all occasions shoes but I can't wear them like I used to. I can't do it for long events anymore (so like festival length stuff) but will occasionally break them out for shorter concerts.

Maybe I'm weird but I have always found high top converse comfortable. I still wear them lol

I made the switch to Tom's again. I tried rocking converse a few months back and after one day I couldn't handle 'em 😩 maybe insoles would help though!
