I slipped on my first pair on Converse a few weeks ago. After wearing them an entire day, I wondered what had taken me so long to give them a try. Seriously, I wear them a few times a week now, because they are so comfortable! They’ve quickly become my go-to shoes, whether I’ve got a quick errand to run or I’m going to spend the day on my feet (maybe shopping?) I can wear these because they do not make my feet hurt. Coming from me, that is saying a lot. Before Converse, there was only one brand of shoes I could count on when I knew I would be on my feet for more than a couple hours. Now, there are two brands I count on and Converse is one of them.
Famous Footwear is a leading back-to-school footwear destination for families – with more than 1,100 stores nationwide offering more than 100 nationally recognized brands and even more choices available at www.FamousFootwear.com.
Famous Footwear has just launched a Facebook contest called “Step It Up For Your School” – a national contest to inspire students to advocate for their high school to be improved. Entrants have a chance to win the $100,000 prize — $75,000 to transform their high school, and a $25,000 cash prize for the winning nominator to keep.
How It Works
Participants can visit Famous Footwear’s Facebook page for details on how to nominate their high school to receive a donation of up to $75,000 by writing a 250-word essay explaining how their school would use the funds.
Famous Footwear Facebook fans can vote once each day for their favorite essay, and the high school that accumulates the highest number of votes will receive up to $75,000 towards a transformation project.
The writer of the essay that garners the most votes will receive a cash prize worth up to $25,000. For every vote cast, Famous Footwear will add $1 to the prize, up to $75,000 for the school donation and up to $25,000 for the individual cash prize.
The grand prize will be announced in late September. Entrants must be at least 13 years old.
Giveaway
One winner will receive the pair of Converse shoes of their choice courtesy of Famous Footwear.

This is easy for me, since besides my flip flops, 2 pair of sandals, and a pair of brown shoes….Converse are it for me. I have worn them since I was 2 and always loved them. Right now my favorites are the gray low-tops.
