First produced in 1917, the Converse Chuck Taylor high-top boots were made famous by basketball player Chuck Taylor. A popular choice with teens for their casual style, Converse boots have an enduring retro appeal. The distinctive design of Converse's basketball boots are a great choice for both men and women thanks to their unisex appeal and stylish appearance and these Knee Hi XHi's don't let you down.
With a black, canvas upper, these Womens Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Hi XHI's have a protective rubber toe strip that adds greater durability and strengthens the boot. From here the lace-up runs up the front of the boot, fastened with flat, white laces and lined with a parade of metal lace eyelets. The tall, mid-calf leg of the Converse XHi boots has a padded topline and can be fully laced up, or worn turned-down, thanks to two pop-stud button fasteners, allowing the striking black and purple check lining to be seen. You decide if you want to wear them ankle high or up to your calf. A broad strip of the check fabric lies heel to topline up the back of thia great boot. Two breathable eyelets above the instep let air circulate around the foot, while the inner ankle of the canvas basketball boots are branded with the 'Converse All Star' emblem both on the inside and out so that it's visible no matter how you wear them. Travelling around the All Star XHi's white midsole are two lines of narrow piping - one black and the other purple.
With a flexible sole unit, the Chuck Taylor XHi womens boot provides a comfortable and tactile experience smoothing out bumps and shocks, ensuring that whether you're thrashing your mates on the court down your neighbourhood park or hanging out with your friends, your boots won't get in the way of your fun!
