Converse Alternatives If You Don't Fancy The Price Tag

Converses have been a constant, long-standing, timeless pair of shoes in the fashion industry. You can't walk down the street without seeing people of all ages wearing a pair. Whether it's high-top, platform, or the classic low-top, Converse are still as popular a shoe as they have always been. However, they are a bit pricey (if you don't want to buy them secondhand). For those who are looking for a cheaper, almost identical pair to buy, you've come to the right place.

I have one pair of black Converse trainers, and, get this - I only wear them 1-2 times a year - tops. Out of the trainers I own, I wear these the least. So when it comes to buying trainers, there are others I'd rather invest in as I know I'd get more use out of them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticising Converse in any way, I know millions of people adore the brand and buy their shoes religiously. But, for me, I cannot justify paying £60 for a pair of trainers I would only wear once or twice a year. 

However, Converse-type shoes are the sort of shoe that should be in a lot of people's wardrobes - mine included. It's a staple I need to have! Kind of like a comfort blanket, you don't always need it, but you know it's there when you do!

So, as my current Converses are a little worse for wear after purchasing them nine years ago (yes, you read that right), rather than buy an actual pair of Converses, I've been looking for some cheaper, lookalike alternatives that won't make your bank account cry. 

I bought these from George at Asda, which were reduced from £15 to £6 online. And honestly, I'm impressed! They're really comfortable, versatile and will be great to wear during the Autumn/Winter. I'd pair them with black wide-leg trousers for a smart look or leggings for a more casual look. 

So, I've scoured online and found some Converse alternatives that will be within a lot of people's budgets:
