Please, please, please, please, please, get actual boots. At the very least something with a slight heel and ankle protection. Also, trust me, even a pair of work boots or hiking boots with a thick sole and heel will be marginally better than a pair of Converse sneakers. Also, it'll help with reaching the ground. I rode around in a pair of engineer boots for a while, and found that between the thick soles and the blocky cowboy boot-style heel, it was super easy to stand my bike up. When I went to my track boots, I had to adjust, since the soles were thinner and there was next to rise on the heels. Still, the protection is worth it, imho.
