They came today.
A box inside a box.
There they were. Nestled under a tissue paper blanket.
I slowly peeled back the paper. A thousand tiny angels started to sing. It was beautiful. Like when the Indigo Girls hit that note in “Closer to Fine.” But better because these were angels.
I almost wept. But then remembered I’m a butch.
Custom Converse. White with navy blue tongues, laces and stitching. Paisley/skull pattern inset. Black rubber racing stripes. Silver eyelets. Navy blue outer heel stripes.
With the date of the wedding stitched on the back.

I reeaaaallly want to say, “Those are so CUTE!” 😉
But I won’t. ‘Cause… Totally not cute. Not. Cute. At. ALL.
Better than cute. Like… Butch-tastically better than cute.
Rock on with your stylin’ blue butchy shoes, you. 🙂
{And I LOVE the date stamping. Nice touch, that.}
Thanks, Feve, for NOT calling them cute like five times. Doesn’t matter. I am on a sneaker high. Go ahead and call them cute. They are awesome as are you.
Those are the most amazing wedding shoes I’ve ever seen. They’re just to awesome. Wow. I’m incredibly jealous.
Heh. I know. So awesome. You can order custom Converse on the company’s website. You can customize just about any feature. So cool.
I will keep this in mind if I ever get married!
You can still customize a pair even if you are not getting married.
Butches can, too, cry. So long as we have an appropriately sized handkerchief to pull out of out pants pocket.
Shhhh … You’re not supposed to let anyone know.
Oh they are fantastic! Customized chucks. Who knew?
I know, right? It’s like a secret society. Custom chucks.
Well I had no idea you could do that. Those are the most awesome wedding shoes I’ve ever seen! You rock!
It’s Converse that rocks.
Love them!!! How do you get them customized???
Go to http://www.Converse.com. You pick out a basic shoe and then customize away. The website lets you see what each detail will look like. Try your shoe with different colored laces, stripes, eyelets. Try pattern and colored tongues and insets. Print a message on the heel stripe. Play around. It took me awhile to “build” the perfect shoe. Most important, have fun with it!
How exciting! Thanks so much! Who knew 🙂
Converse should make me official Spokesbutch.
Amazing! We did Converse for our wedding last November, too – but we didn’t spring for the custom order. These are way freakin better. Reminds me of the scene from Sandlot when Benny opens his new PF Flyers 🙂
They are sweet. Oh, and I love that movie.
