Hugging the Foot low-top sneakers seem to be all the rage, and Converse is pretty much sticking to the game. However, there are plenty of alternatives for those who want a more lightly dressed look as opposed to Chuck's sportier look. You are worth your money. My only complaint is that Burnetie doesn't come in half sizes. I usually wear a size 10 but it was a bit big for me so I changed it to a size 9 but they seem a little tight to me. lol. Style may be more important to them than comfort, but they feel they have to last a few years.
