I've really always loved Converse, but I could never justify the $100 price tag for shoes. I've always bought branded products. I'm getting married soon though, and with the mix of big feet (9 women), heel challenges, and a farm wedding, I quickly figured I could spoil myself a little with a pair of my favorite shoes. You are perfect! I can't wait to wear them with my wedding dress and go on my honeymoon. Thank you to the vendors - you played a small part in my special day!
