This is actually a tough one for me because I love 'em both. I've been using Chuck Taylors for a quite while now and I swear by those sneakers. :) I love how they go well with anything you wear... and the new designs that have come out recently are really really cool --- especially their tie ups with bands (Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, etc). But Vans slip-ons are more comfortable to wear. I love how you could just shove your feet in and be on the go in seconds. :p But if I only had to choose one, I'd probably go with Chucks. I just love the classic design! :)
How about you guys?

Actually, I feel comfort when using Vans. Especially vans Old Skool. But, Converse is popular shoes brand that have good reputation in the shoes world. Vans Old Skool is the best, not Slip On :)

Indeed. :) Chucks look good on anything. :) Even if you had just one pair, it'll go a loooong way and you can wear it almost everyday since it just looks so good. :)

Converse for me. Vans just do not look good on me for some reason. They make my feet look super wide, which I don't like at all. But Converse make your feet look more narrow, which is nice!

I see. I think it has something to do with the slip-on design. They designed it that way so your foot easily slips in. :)

You are absolutely right, this is such a difficult question because I love them both. But you are right again -- I've been using Vans a lot more lately because you can just 'slip them on'. It's so easy to wear and comfortable too. I have around 5 or 6 vans in different colors. Also, Vans looks not too casual that I can wear it in the office. Chucks cannot be worn in the office because of it's very casual look. But don't get me wrong, I adore Chucks just the same. I wear it during weekends when I go to the malls. Tough, tough choice to make. I'm just torn :-)

Wow! 6 vans! What's your favorite pair? I only have one --- an Iron Maiden "The Trooper" Vans slip-on :) Sometimes I borrow my brother's ...he has a red checkered one. :)

I'm a Vans girl. I have the iconic black and white checked slip ons which I wore with everything until they were falling apart. Chuck Taylors never really looked good on me. It makes me look shorter than my already short frame, and I'm a vain girl. lol.

hehehe fair enough. :p Vans are incredibly tough though! I've been wearing my pair for almost 3 years now... it is a bit worn out already yes ...but it's still very wearable. :) But I am eye-ing a purple checkered slip on I saw a few weeks back though... so my current pair might be replaced sometime soon. :p
