Converse low tops are a pretty popular sneaker style these days. You can find them in nearly every store that sells athletic shoes, and they are very easy to tell size for this style.
The length of the shoe top where the toe cap meets the shoe top is about half of the width of the shoe top. This length and width ratio is what determines how big or small you should buy a pair of Converse Low Tops.
If you have a small foot size, like a personal size 7 or less, then buy a smaller length shoe top. If you have an average sized foot, like a size 9 or 10, then buy a taller length shoe top.

The right size laces for your low-tops
When choosing a pair of Converse low-tops, there are several things to take into account. The size of the shoe you own already, if you have a spare pair of thick- soled shoes, or if you have a thin-soled shoe.
For example, if you have a size 11 foot, then a size 9 shoe would be too small. A shoes with an exaggeratedly small diameter would also be too small.
If you had size 14 feet, then a size 12 would be the right size for the shoes. Take into account your whole foot shape as well, because some sizes require special fit. If you have very wide feet, buy lengthier shoes to achieve a more proper fit.
When trying on different sizes, make sure to listen for any sound effects or telltale signs that the person is sitting or standing up.
Too long laces
If you have very long laces for converse shoes, you may find that they are not long enough to securely put on your shoes. A short length of lacing would be better than a long one that is not.
This is due to the fact that they are longer in length when folded in. They would need to be extended before being able to lace your shoes.
Typically, there are two lengths of laces for converse shoes. One is a short one just like what is mentioned above, and the other is a medium length like what is shown in the image below.
If you have a long slightly thick shoe like what is shown in the image, then the medium length of laces would be perfect! They would only need the short one extended so that it can reach all four corners of the shoe.
There are some things that can make a difference on how long your Converse low tops must be Laced.
Too short laces
Many people have trouble getting enough tension on their laces. Once you get the tension, it is hard to let go of it!
This can be due to either not using the correct size laces or not being able to get the full length of laces on your foot.
Many people find that they need a little extra length of lace on the right side of their shoe to create a perfect fit. This is because people with more broad feet may need more space between the back and front of the shoe.
If you find that your shoes are still getting tight after several hours of play, then it is time to increase how much tension you have on your shoes. Try wrapping one or two pairs of socks around your foot to increase the amount of space between the toes and heel of the shoe.
Another cause for not having enough tension on your shoes can bejury flimsy laces.
Lace thickness matters
When choosing laces for your Converse, there are several points to keep in mind. The thickness of the laces you can use, the length of the straps that are on the shoe, and the overall size of your foot.
Converse shoes come in a variety of sizes, from a U.S. size runabout to a European large. Because some European feet are bigger than others, and because European shoes have longer straps compared to American shoes, we recommend using medium-thick leather laces on American-sized shoes and thick leather laces on other countries’ models.
We also suggest using low-quality leather or rubber soles for better durability and comfort when wearing these shoes for an extended period of time. Your feet will be more stable with thicker materials!
Keep in mind that these tips do not apply to every shoe! Many Converse models do not need thicker laces or soles to fit their feet correctly.
Lace color matters
When choosing a color for your laces, there are some main colors that prevail. These are black, blue, red, and green. Inbetween these color zones are lots of choices.
These color zones mean that you will have to choose one of those colors over the others to match your outfit. For example, if you were wearing a red dress with black shoes, you would need white laces to match!
With so many choices, it can be hard to know which ones are the right ones for you. There are companies that specialize in finding the right color for you, and there is definitely an art to doing this well.
We spoke with Christian Louboutin about creating new styles based on your feet type, and they confirmed this is very important.
How to tie your Converse low-tops
When wearing your converse sneakers, the first thing to do is put on a pair of socks. Then, draw a line down the middle of your feet and leave one side without a sock.
Now, place three pairs of laces on the remaining sock and tie them together in a knot. This creates the lower-leg support for your shoes.
Now that you have your support system in place, it is time to put on your shoes. When doing this, make sure to keep your laces straight and tight at all times.
Finally, when you are ready to walk around, untie one leg from the support system and allow some free movement of the foot and ankle.
Keep them clean!
When wearing Converse all-weather low-tops, keep the soles clean by following the accompanying tips.
Converse is known for its rugged look and feel. This is intentional, as it is intended to be worn outdoors or while running or working out. Keeping soles clean in such a fashion is a way to show off your style!
In fact, Converse does have a specific tip page on their website where owners can share tips and tricks. Many users have used these tools to design and share some great looking tips.
The main rule when cleaning your soles is to not use heavy shoes dusting products or shoe brush softener. Instead, use fresh water only, and some mild soap with an ordinary shampoo package.
