Ooh, one of my favorite things in the world is to make the “design your own” cons on their site. Many of my family members now have custom converse because I couldn’t justify getting myself another pair but really wanted to play…

You can’t design ’em to look like these, though…

I’m so glad to see that you’re not one of those stereotypical rom-com-type women who are obsessed with buying shoes, MaryAnn.
