A while ago, maybe 6 months or more, I ran across a blog that showed a pair of Converse Hi-Top* sneakers made out of clear plastic rather than canvas. Neat for wearing with handknit socks, I thought. The price point was high, though, so I just filed the idea.
Last week, I ran across an excited post on The Oregonian Knitting blog** about the lo-top version being locally available. One of the comments mentioned that the hi-top version was on sale at an online shoe store. It was 1/3 the original price, so I decided to spend some birthday money and get a pair. What do you think?
*When I was growing in up Texas, we called these Converse Hi-Tops. Where I live now in Pennsylvania, everyone calls them Chuck Taylors, or just Chucks.
**I started following this Portland blog before going to Sock Summit and have stayed on it because it’s entertaining and informative.
