Weighing my Converse

Last year I weighed all of my different pairs of boots. This was before I bought my tall converse hi-tops. I was surprised at how heavy my short converse hi-tops were (around 800-900g, a similar weight to my much taller boxing boots).

For the record, my new tall converse weights (in grams) are:

Grey Converse x-hi	973
B&W Converse x-hi	942

My new Black and White converse are almost exactly the same weight as my old pair of 'original' black and white hi-tops, despite them being much taller. This might be because my original pair are quite old since my newer 'short' hi-tops are much lighter, closer to 900g.

Converse Close-ups

Yesterday was a nice varied boot-wearing day. I started off wearing my riding boots then wore a succession of black and white hi-top boots, starting with my lonsdale boxing boots, my new Converse hi-tops, my adidas boxing boots and finally tonight I wore my old pair of converse hi-tops. In the middle of all that I briefly wore my wellies when I went into the garden.

I am back in work now and wearing my new tall  Converse hi-tops, laced all the way to the top of course.

These are the hi-tops folded down, showing the star pattern on the inner lining. I quite like the star pattern but since I prefer tall boots I will be wearing them 'up' more often. I will only wear them folded down if I am wearing shorts.

This is a close-up of the ankle patch. It is a printed disk which appears to be sewn onto the inner lining of the boot. It appears to be positioned slightly too high though because with the top folded down and fixed using the studs, the top of the patch sticks slightly over the top of the boot.

The ankle patch on the outside of the boot isn't as good - it is just a plain printed disk which appears to be glued to the side. It is a pity this is lower quality to the other disk since this is the one which will be visible most of the time while I'm wearing them.

My latest pair of Converse Hi-tops

This morning I received my newest pair of Converse knee-hi boots. On the outside they are the classic black and white but the inside is black and white stars. I will post more photos in a few days time but here is a quick view of them.
