firefly82--
I've never bought the name-brand Converse--can't see spending $60 for a pair of canvas sneakers. I get Target's Converse knockoffs--I go through a pair about every six months, but at 5-10 bucks a pop, I'm OK with that.
You say you work with dancers; I'm assuming that means, um, regular dancers and not "exotic" ones. You know any company who makes dark brown or red low-heeled character shoes in wide widths? I have to dress up for/walk to work/be on my feet a lot, and these are the only women's "dress" shoes I've found that don't hurt. (I can't wear ballet flats or anything without a strap to hold it on because my feet are shaped like a duck's--really narrow heels and really wide toe boxes.)Unfortunately, I've only been able to find character shoes in black and what can best be described as band-aid color.
(I do have the option of "dressing down" for work, "The Man" doesn't dictate my clothing...but I work for commission selling art. I gotta wear what sells the pictures to pay the rent!)
