The Beginning

Brand new size 10.5 Hi Black Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars.

Purchased on April 18, 2009 from Bob's Stores in Framingham, MA for $45.

After purchasing the shoes, I spent the next 20 minutes sitting in my car at a parking lot re-lacing the shoes (the pattern of the lacing I will show in the next update). I naturally put them on after lacing them up.

The shoe was pristine, but is borderline uncomfortable to walk in. The canvas is definitely much stiffer than my old pair (one night walking around in the rain will take care of that). I need to start forming a fold where my toes bend and need to start creating a groove inside the soles to fit my feet.

I feel so dirty wearing clean Chucks.
