new shoes?

Why don't you try out Nike shoes. They're generally kinda expensive but you can try checking out an outlet. just go to http://ipthing.com/deab58 to see an outlet in your area by putting in your zip code

Converse. While the Harajuku Lovers one is cute, it won't go with everything. What if you decide to wear a very patterned outfit and your shoes just clash? Converse are just super versatile.

i dont like either of them but if i had to choose then convberse. why dont u get pumas instead? try these:

harajuku lovers suits your age, but if u opt for a more classic and long lasting pair, go for converse. in fact i suggest u to customize your own pair coz i know everyone's pair is the same. how about adding small studs on a black canvas hi (for a gothic rock chic lock) or simply draw something on a white canvas low?

converse would last longer. harajuku's are cute, but i doubt they'll last years like your converse will. also, they're never out of style.

Get harajuku, Converse are absolutely terrible for your feet. They have no foot support, and even if you don't feel it now, you will feel it down the line.

Get converse but get hightops b.c the lowtops are FAKE

Converse are the best!

i say converse
