In an
ever-growing virtual world, with more and more companies putting their products
and services online, finding what you want is becoming easier and more
convenient.  However, even with hundreds
of options sitting right in front of you – sometimes it’s impossible to walk
away with the right color or size you’ve been scouring the Internet for, or
even London for that matter.

So where
can one go to express their true originality and still get what they want?  Usually we start from head to toe, but here,
the toe is where it all begins.  Yes,
that’s right; I’m talking about those five-toed extremities we like to call
feet.

Besides a
pair of cherished Doc Martens boots I own, I have very few pairs of shoes that
I wear on a regular basis.  The
exception?  Converse, or Chuck Taylor\'s,
as I’ve always known them.  A pair of
cherry-red Chucks gets me where I’m going most of the time.  Although still a favorite, I’ve seen many
pairs, of the very same color, walking the streets of London.  So is this my fate?  Destined to wear the same color and style as
hundreds of others?  Nope – Converse
figured that one out for me.

With
Internet fairy tale-type magic, Converse lovers can design their own
kicks.  On the official website, people
log on to become truly creative with their footwear.  So, how does it work?

Arriving
on the web page, would-be-designers find the site user-friendly, with not too
many images or copy cluttering up the page. 
Simple and clear, people navigate this page as well as the back of their
hand (or foot, if you want to be accurate). 
If you’re looking for a specific pair of Chucks, you can sort through a
number of criteria, such as style and material, but for those who are a little
more adventurous, hit the Design Your Own logo – this is where the real fun
begins.

With ten
different options to pimp your Chucks, it’s up to you where your shoes take
you.  From the outside body to the tongue
to the racing stripe, choose colors and prints that fit you best.  (And if you’re smart, you’ll choose a size
that fits you best as well).

Many other
websites offer the same services, so no matter where you live; you can create
your own Chucks.  Now I want to design my
own Doc Martens boots as well.
