Reuben

Reuben shoes are the closet rip-off of a converse shoe you’re going to find. It takes the classic Converse look and just literally rips it off—a solid color shoe with a white sole and a stripe running around the sole. If converse weren’t too busy wiping their ass with all the money they make, I bet they would take the time to fight Renben for their style rip-off.

Renben makes shoes for adults, children, and toddlers.

Classic Renben Converse Alternative

Converse Alternative Shoes

Come on, look at these. They are literally a replica of Converse. Unless someone looks closely at the little tag on the side of these shoes, they would never realize they aren’t converse.


High Top Converse Alternative 

Alternatives To Converse Shoes

Just as with the low tops, you wouldn’t notice it’s not a converse unless you read the circle.

Renben makes a large variety of high-top shoes in wider colors and detailed high tops with studs or other add ons.

Vans

Vans is clearly the first go-to choice for a converse alternative. But, unfortunately, the whole vans vs. converse debate is as old as time.

One major difference between vans and converse is the fit. Personally, I own and wear both types of shoes, so my feet have an opinion of their own on this one. Converse has a more narrow fit in the toes, where vans are more comfortable and allow more room throughout the shoe. Vans also have padding in the heel, allowing for a more comfortable walk-around feel.

Another benefit of vans is their ease of them. They are called “slip-on” shoes for a reason. Vans are quick to throw on and quick to take off, never having to touch the laces.

Almost all vans are unisex.

Colors found with this link include:

  • Black and White

The Vans To Go With Everything – High Top

With this link, you can find classic high-top vans. Much like the above low tops, this link will provide high tops in neutral and versatile colors.

If you want to stay in with the current fashion trend, I would suggest these high tops! A great option for winter so snow doesn’t sneak down your shoe as you’re walking. Nothing is worse than already being cold, and then bam, snow trickles down to your feet. So now you’re cold and have wet sloppy socks. Thanks, winter.

These high tops can be found in the same colors as the low tops.

Stand Out Vans

If you are more into shoes that stand out, these Vans might be the route you choose.

The OG Superstar Woman Shoe

Adidas Superstar Shoe has been around since 1969. It has a rubber sole with a classic shell toe top and a mesh liner.

Writers Fit Tip: If you typically buy your shoes in the in-between sizes, go one size down for a tight fit and one size up for a looser fit.

Adidas Superstar Shoe can be customized by changing up the line and ankle patch pattern.

A few alternatives, including animal print, coral, turquoise, metallic and purple, are available here!

The OG Mens Superstar Shoe 

Same as the women’s Superstar Shoe just made for men’s sizes. The great thing about these shoes is they get worn in well. Wonder what they will look like once you have them for a few months? This picture is your answer.

Adidas Slip On Shoes

Womens 

I personally own these slips on, and they are hands down the most comfortable shoe my feet have ever had the pleasure of slipping into.

Most shoes claim to be breathable and flexible, but let me tell you something, these take the gold medal for living up to those adjectives. Wear them with or without socks; it doesn’t matter. They make your feet feel like you are walking on clouds.

This specific shoe comes in:

  • Olive green
  • All white
  • White and Black
  • Rose
  • Grey
  • Ice Mint

Mens

These shoes are pretty true to fit; you don’t need to go up or down in size for these.

While they look like heavier shoes, these are actually lightweight!

Air force flex all-white shoe makes this the perfect match to go with everything.

Mens Air Force Shoe

Available in white and black. Much like the Women’s Air Force Shoe, the fit comes wider so your feet will fit into the shoe more comfortably.

 

Nike Mens Roshe 

Nike Shoes

Nike Rose has a synthetic sole, making this shoe perfect for comfort and double as a running shoe.

Made from a criss-cross mesh material, this shoe has lightweight wear.

One of the top-rated shoes for men.

Soda

Soda shoes are found at most department stores. They offer a variety of converse alternative type shoes and a wider variety of heals, booties, and sandals. In addition, soda uses legit material to make their shoes, thus allowing them to last for years at a time.

Soda has a variety of converse type shoes that come with shoelaces and with alternatives to laces.

Soda Slip On Shoe 

Soda slip-on shoes are great for those who don’t have time to deal with shoelaces. They make their slip-on shoes in a large variety of colors and materials.


Canvas Sneaker 

If you prefer the shoelace look, I suggest going with this option. This sneaker is made out of canvas material and is available in different colors.

Soda canvas sneaker runs true to size. An ultra-low top makes this a great shoe for shorts, pants, and roll-up boyfriend jeans.

Writers Tip:

When it comes to converse alternatives, you really can’t go wrong! With online shopping becoming so relevant nowadays, there are zero excuses not to step up your shoe game. Even if you are a true converse lover, give your feet a styling break with a second pair of sweet kicks.
