Women enjoy finding outfits that are not only comfortable but match their personality and style. Great looking shoes are also an important aspect of their overall look. The Converse All Star light series of shoes and boots for women offer an iconic look based on one of the best selling shoes of all time. The designers took the original men's shoes, slimmed them down, and made them lighter in weight to create a more feminine looking line. They show something different and set you apart.
Chuck Taylor, a well-known basketball player in the early 1900s designed the legendary All Star, affectionately known as "Chucks" in the 1920s. He marketed his design as the sport was rapidly growing and many of the best athletes in the game wore his All Stars, not necessarily for the way it looked but for the way it performed. The heavy canvas uppers on the high tops helped to protect their ankles from injury. The thick rubber soles were easier on their feet and aided in traction and grip. Nike purchased Converse in 2003 and continues to produce products and market the brands.
Converse All Stars incorporated a simple design and they have stood the test of time. Not necessarily now for how it performs on the court but for the way it looks. Over time, the look of the shoe has inspired a rebellious attitude or a feeling of coolness. Before the light line was introduced, women had to wear men's versions in smaller sizes. Fortunately the Converse All Star light series keep the classic look and provide a better fit for women's feet.
Outside of displaying some attitude, style and just for ladies, they are comfortable and stylish enough to go with many wardrobes. They still come in high top or low cut oxford versions. They are a casual everyday shoe and match well with most anything in your closet.
The original material on the upper part of the shoe was heavy canvas. While canvas uppers are possibly still the most popular, versions in leather and suede are available in a high top and low cut oxford models. For a more adventurous look, there are slip-on boots. The mid ankle boot snaps up the side while the multi-strap boot zips up the back and tightens with straps on the front and side.
Canvas models come in a range of colors. While traditional colors like black and white match with more outfits a splash of color will stand out and set you apart. Pink, Red, blue, purple and green are popular colors. There is an option for some of the more popular models on the Converse website to create your own unique shoe. Different colors or patterns are customizable for each part of the shoe. Each panel along with stripes, laces and more can be set to your liking.
Converse All Star light shoes and boots retain the iconic silhouette along with the trademark toecap. Generations have enjoyed the original All Stars for what they have to offer. Now that here is a line specifically for women and girls, the trend will likely continue for future generations.
