Does anyone else find it impossible to keep white converse nice and clean? Are they a bad idea for winter footwear?

I'm afraid they probably would be hard to keep clean but they look so pretty :flutter:

That said you could just chuck them in the washer when they're dirty!

I think they look better diry and battered.

I have an ancient pair of converse, and they've split apart at the sides. I've ripped the laces out, glued them down at the sides and cut the tongues out, and they look really good.

Converse look ace when they're worn-in.I've put mine in the wash after festivals and they come out fine. I'de buy a darker colour for winter, black or green or something then get a white pair for the summer or non rainey days.

Yup I like mine more now that they're nice and worn in. wouldn't advise wearing them on a rainy/snowy day though...

I have pink converse with green 'all star' written on them....

But I was on hols in new zealand with my friends and we went on a walk but then it POURED down :frown:

.... and all the dye from my jeans ran into them, despite me walking round with my jeans pulled up to my knees (and yes I did look like a total MUPPET! :redface:

)....

but I'm sort of used to them now, they'll never be the same though!! :frown:

they have holes in the side for air... which would let the rain and snow in.

Not to mention the canvas material which soaks through

Wearing your converse all dirty and falling to bits is the "cool" way to wear them. I think brand new trainers, despite what make they are, look bad anyway. All trainers look better when they are worn in and a little old but I ain't going to go out of my way to get my converse looking like they are 20 years old and were found in a skip just because it's fashionable to.

Ugh. Converse Chucks (As in the most popular, All Stars shoe) look pants clean. They're meant to look ragged

Heavy rain, your feet will get wet, don't walk through long grass either. Mine have been buried at the beach, rained on, slept on and now they're beautifiully faded and worn
