Used to be a great brand of sneaker until converse closed its doors here in the USA six years ago and got bought out by nike. Now the converses today are made out of cheap china sweatshop material and have become a favor of those annoying emo and goth kids.

I think they're cool but they're overpriced and unoriginal, they used to be quirky and cheaper but now everyone wears them! I still like them, but they're turning into a shoe version of burberry - they're being taken over by chavs and wannabes who only buy them because the people they want to be like buy them.. but they're still the coolest sneakers on earth!

The real word is "converse," as "orientate" is really meant to be the word "orient." There is a difference between being creative and verbal rather than sounding stupid because you think you have game.
Guy: "I came over here to conversate and become orientated with you."
Girl: "WTF? I thought you just wanted to talk and get to know me better."
See you stupid that sounds? Please, for the love of God, stop saying that stupid shit. Don't you want to be somebody?

are converse good as school shoes? i was once asked by a parent.
the answer is a definite definite yes.
not only are they smart looking, but they are very durable.
the body of the shoe bends to the shape of your foot.
also, the manmade rubber-like soles are hardwearing.
In relation to school dress, a pair of monochromatic sneakers are the perfect solution to a moaning fashion-conscious teenager and a worrying parent. If you choose the monochromatic converse, it fits with most school dress codes and are also very fashion-forward.
so, all in all, converse are the perfect solution for school shoes.
