I've gone through about 15 pairs in the 10 years since my first pair. Only recently have I discovered low-tops but such is the endless variety of Mr. Taylor's wondrous shoes. In this throwaway world of short concentration spans and instant obsolescence, that is one of the things that appeals. Having bought one pair, we then seek out the next. For me, it's because we all recognise a classic when we see one.
Chucks are for everybody.
It will be great to see my grandchildren wearing them too in years to come.
