Converse are awesome, you don't need to be a skater to wear them. I am a freak, but I wear them with anything. I may wear them with shorts or skirts for a girly/punk look, or skinny jeans. Regular jeans or capris make them look weird, but the look is acceptable.
Anyway, why would skaters wear them while skating? Converse are slippery, I always fall when I run with them in gym class. That's why I use Pumas during gym.
